News Another Shooting In The Us

[Nicolette]

After the Colorado shooting debate I again raise gun laws with another shooting near The Empire State Building. Apparently New York has some of the tightest gun laws.

America how many mass shootings will it take? Something has to change doesn't it?

What is it going to take? I do not know. I had not heard of this shooting. People are going crazy. It is a real heartbreaker.

People really need to get rid of their f*cking guns. Guns are getting into the wrong hands....over and over again in the last few years. ( Norway, Colorado,Empire State)

People really need to stop being violent. Not much chance of that happening though. Too bad, guess we'll all just have to make do and live the best we can with the knowledge that the world and the creatures that inhabit it are imperfect unsafe and dangerous.

I would also like to say I do believe there is something very sick about American society, but that gun ownership isnt it. The acceptance of violence as seemingly ok and morally defensible is more of a problem. Look at the majority of holllywood movies. Most are glorifying violence, the moral of these stories is its ok to kill torture and hurt people who 'deserve' and most are written directed and produced by anti gun people. I don't think getting rid of guns will change the way American society is.

People really need to balance themselves.

If people were more balanced they could own a gun but never feel the need to use it because they would naturally respect themselve more and therefore other life forms...and if they started using their brains and learn how to communicate effectively, they wouldn't feel the need to resort to violence...but that's a pipedream.

Society is dumbing down at a faster rate than any other time in history I think. It's only gonna get worse unfortunately...sorry to be a downer, but I can't see the human race giving up their lust for violence any time soon.

It's not just guns, it's kids bullying each other, people disrespecting each other, drunk drivers, workplace bullying escalating like never before, people escaping into drugs and alcohol and FOOD. The quality of food in the states alone is making your kids fat and dumb, sorry to put it so bluntly.

Healthcare is such a joke over there I can't believe third world countries envy you guys. People living miserable lives working 60 hour weeks, "living the dream" marriage, kids raised on television and video games, never seeing their parents because they're too busy working so they can go to school and become suicidal from all the bullying and eat crap food that makes them obese, and to pay for the car so they can drive to work to pay for the car to go to work. It's crazy.

No wonder people lose it and kill people.

Guns do not kill, people do. Which leads me to the disgust and anger of the ignorance here in the US.

Millions of people are out of work. Returning soldiers have no work. Our country can not support the level of alien population which is directly in proportion to the amount of unemployed. A major portion of alien population are drug dealers. There are one or two shootings a day where I am. It just does not hit the national news.

Denial of mental health due to economics! Denial does not make anything go away.

One of my abusers used guns to threaten me - he threatened my life and my familys life, along with various serious abuse and violence related crimes - which he went to prison for. 15 years later he appealed his gun licence being removed and got it back based upon him never having a 'gun related conviction', despite having the various violent criminal convictions. The Chief of Police stated the safety of society would be at threat if he were to be granted a gun licence. The judge didn't agree obviously. Unbelievable. Gun licence law should be tightened up - alot.

Guns do not kill, people do.

This is universal and so true. I agree with you Whitney. It happens everywhere now. Security has become top most concern for all countries.

You are so right! Much better to be in one of the African countries where everyone knows AIDS can be cured by having sex with a virgin, so young girls are routinely raped by dying men. And homosexuals are sentenced to death. Or how about China where government officials nod in agreement while pregnant woman are kidnapped and forced to undergo abortions so communities can stay within their childbirth quotas.

Mexico does such a great job helping the poor. They have orphanages where parents can put their children since they cannot afford to feed them themselves. How about those middle eastern countries where women are not allowed out of their homes without head scarves and a male escort and are punished if they get raped. Women are not allowed to be touched by a male dr. and women are not allowed to be doctors. Yeah, that sounds like a much better health care practice. Girls are forced into marriages as young as age 8, but I am sure their new husbands have only the best in store for them.

Funny, I work in a very international community. Why are all these people coming here from other countries? Oh yeah, it is for the inferior educational opportunities. And why are they sad to leave when their education is complete? They miss the open and beautiful green spaces that have been set aside and the 60 hour work week. They have to go home (to S. Korea, FYI) to a far longer work week.

Don't even get me started on the elections. Why can't we go to a nice dictatorship like so many other countries? At least someone ought to have the sense to rig the elections with threat of violence. Surely we can all see the sense in exterminating this system of peaceful voting!!!

After the Colorado shooting debate I again raise gun laws with another shooting near The Empire State Building.

Sadly, the incident at the Empire State Building was not the first mass shooting since the Colorado shooting in July. On August 5, seven people (including the shooter) were killed at a Sikh temple in Wisconsin. On August 13 three people, including a police officer, were shot and killed near Texas A&M University.

The empire state building thing wasn't actually a 'mass shooting' It was a single murder, the murderer shot and killed his old boss, and the cops who saw it fired at him, missed a bunch of times, and hit a bunch of bystanders. At least thats what a lot of reports are saying now, you can't really trust the media to report facts, who knows, tomorrow they'll say oh our bad, we got it wrong, but thats whats being reported now. So, so much for cops being the only ones responsible enough to own guns.

Oh, and a3a2, you forgot female castration.
