You guys use this argument constantly, but keep accepting a more and more absurd status quo. Will there ever be an "enough is enough" moment? It's looking unlikely from across the pond
Human beings probably shouldn't have weapons in the first place. Most murders are from people who fail to control their emotions and murder someone because of those emotions. Not many are planned murders.
I think the UK police still doesn't wear guns. Somehow they manage to do their job anyway.
That's a big assumption. Maybe it was a crossbolt safety stored in accessible way. Still dumb, definitely unsafe, bit maybe not quite the unsafety we imagine.
What in the fresh dumbassery is this comment? If your dog is shooting your shotgun then you have ROYALLY fucked up. Not kinda fucked up. Not "I dunno guys the situation might be different than we understand."
If your dog shoots me, you have thrown away all avenues of diplomacy. The time for words has ended. WAR. You just declared war.
If there were any discrimination in that sentence, it's supposed to evoke more outrage than if a man died, not less. But more likely it's just reporting what limited facts they have and are allowed to print.

Fucking seriously. Guns have safeties for a reason.
People in this thread are saying guns are the problem. It's fucking idiots with guns who are the problem.

The safety is not selling guns to anyone. That way you are sure there are no untrained idiots with guns.
Also no other idiots with guns.
Turns out a lot less damage is done to society if people can't buy guns.

Yeah ... but looking at my current government, I really don't want the government to be the only ones who have guns.

You think there's no such thing as a smart person who has a gun?

My observations of gun owners is one thing in common: paranoid and scared.

It can be more than one thing. Both of those can be true

Nonsense, if a good dog had a gun, it could have stopped the bad dog with a gun before they did any harm!

False. There are no bad dogs only good dogs that do bad things

Thank the Christian god it wasn’t a male passerby. There might have been a lawsuit! That respectable gun owner might have lost his freedom stick.
PlasticExistence@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 95d
He’s likely to lose it after this. It’s illegal to keep a loaded shotgun in a car in his jurisdiction
