Unless you've been under a rock today, you now know that rapid Bernie Sanders supporter James Hodgkinson specifically targeted and shot at members of Republican Congress this morning as they practiced for a charity baseball game.[1] The shooter was engaged by Capital Police and Alexandria, VA Police and subsequently died of his wounds. Since that time, numerous politicians sought out the nearest lens and microphone to express outrage at the shooting.
Alas, as outrageous as the shooting was, there is no stopping politicians from expanding upon that outrage to extend it into pressing the their own political agendas. The governor of Virginia, a Democrat, said there are too many guns on the streets. Several others came out saying all the rhetoric on both sides of the isle are at fault.
Any thoughts on the matter?

New to the region (and NS), but I thought I'd try to participate somehow!
The 2nd amendment has advantages and disadvantages as I see it.
When you compare the advantages of having guns to the disadvantages of having no guns then for me having an intact 2nd amendment is more beneficial than it is destructive.
Major arguments for me are things such as:
-criminals/terrorists don't care about gun-laws
-the ability to form militias in case government goes rogue
-enabling civilians to protect themselves against dangerous cults/organisations (basically anything inspired by Islam or funded by Soros).
-most gun-crime/violence in the US seems to be committed in places with strict gun-laws (cities/states governed by dems)
-minimizing the size of government means having an armed citizenry that is able to protect itself
What did I win?
I have returned my subjects....I mean fellow nations
Welcome back. Catch up on the RMB and chime in.
*sells gold star and virgin for more peanut butter and jelly sandwiches*
I think the subject should not be gun-control but the way in which the media and government have created the circumstances for this attack to take place.
If you just scream racist/Hitler/Nazi often enough some moron lacking any and all historical context will stand up and do something stupid (same happened with the murder of Pim Fortuyn in the Netherlands). The people across the political aisle are directly responsible for this nonsense, and I thought inciting violence was the one damn sensible limitation on free-speech!
Phrontisteries and Xyanth
On Capitalist Paradise - I think that Quebec (now a "moderator" of Nation States I believe - this sort of person tends to get into a position of power in an administrative structure, to be blunt leftists are natural bureaucrats, wonderful at "office politics") was the poison. Once the Cid was O.K., but when he fell in with Quebec it all went wrong. Capitalist Paradise stopped being pro free enterprise and pro smaller government. Quebec even supported Barack Obama and falsely accused people opposed Mr Obama of doing so for religious reasons (a sort of SJW tactic - chance the subject from bigger or smaller government to something else).
On the shooter in Virginia.
The "mainstream" media often manage to transmute a leftist murderer into a conservative - for example the shooter of Gabby Giffords was a leftist nut who was wildly pro abortion (and so on) the New York Times managed to imply the opposite. Even the Oregon stabber (a Bernie Sanders supporter with a hatred of all religions) was turned into a conservative - at least that was what was implied in British reports. The odd thing about the Virginia shooter is not that he is a leftist (most., although NOT all, such attacks are leftists), but that it is being actually reported that he was a leftist (apart from by the BBC).
By the way - does anyone know why Fox News was the only television news station that was not broadcasting on the day of the British election? All the leftist television news stations (i.e. all of the others - FNC being the only station on the right) were broadcasting as normal. Fox was a screen saying that because of election "reporting restrictions" it could not broadcast, it was a reminder of the P.C. ideology that dominates officialdom.
Phrontisteries, Xyanth, and Western-snekistan
I think you pretty much summed it up. If Nation of Quebec is now a moderator, I am on borrowed time. Kind of a shame that Max or whoever picks moderators do not vet their moderators all that well.
I've just been informed via telegram that Capitalist Producers earned what it got in Capitalist Paradise, doesn't know how to debate and burns bridges. Drasnia is still naive enough not to understand the significance of what took place. Even if it is only a game, he should have seen it for what it was.
And to that generation we leave our future. Freakin' sad.
They were on the air here in the US. Maybe some conflict with Skynews?
NoQ is not a moderator - only an issues editor. You should be ashamed of yourself for insinuating that he would take action against you because of some petty grudge, because he wouldn't. He is a great guy and a friend, and I will defend him for as long as I play this game. That's how I treat my friends. And I used to consider you a friend, Xyanth; however, your continued bad behavior, flaunting of basic site rules, and entitled attitude have made me rescind that consideration.
I am not the one being naive. I was the one that understood how to play the politics in a political game. You are the one who is naive. You believe you are above the rules and can slander, demean, and revile whoever you want because you believe you are "right." This isn't about political correctness. This isn't even about politeness (though politeness is absolutely essential to maintaining and constructive and intelligent debate.) This is about abiding the site rules that the owner and his agents have plainly laid out. If you can't follow the basic rules of etiquette, you will be justly punished and perhaps eventually told to get off this site.
Yeah, just continue with that attitude. It's certainly gotten you places.
That's great news. There is hope.
You weren't paying attention during the trial and on the RMB were you? Probably weren't looking when Nation of Quebec sued Fastercat trying to abridge freedom of speech. And that was just in a roll play scenario.
My experience is that he is quite petty and very much capable of vindictive behavior. Not only that, one of your vocals told me that Nation of Quebec hid behind the puppet nation Big freedom to raise hell with Capitalist Producers. Then when he was called to testify, he refused to play by the regional rules and testify. Probably because if he told the truth he would show the double standard he holds.
Knock yourself out. You do seem to like beating dead horses.
With friends like you, who needs enemies?
Now run along and troll someone else for a while.
new poll
Spread the word
page=poll/p=95434
Getting back to real world events, in the wake of last week's attack on Republican congress critters, several people in other social media platforms are calling for a ban on assault weapons. (It cracks me up to tell them assault weapons are already banned and then listen to them stutter.) Something came from those discussions that got me to thinking.
These people believe that a new law will end all the mass shootings by stopping the bad guys from getting high capacity, dangerous looking (cool looking?) weapons.
I was wondering if anyone here ever heard of a gang-banger arrested with an AK-47, AR-15 or even a handgun that the little gang-banger was legally in possession of before the event that got them arrested. In example: The gun was not stolen, but legally purchased by the person carrying it and that person had every right to possess that weapon prior to the even that got them arrested. Legal possession means over the legal age limit, no felonies, not prohibited by parole or probation, etc, etc, etc...
Be interesting to see how many laws were broken before whatever happened that led to the arrest.
Post self-deleted by Western-snekistan.
I think many shootings that actually involve licensed/legal guns could be prevented by taking both mental health and previous convictions more seriously (school shooters and Bern victims).
Nobody wants to talk about the real cause of most gun-deaths, that would chase a lot of people off the ctrl-left plantation. Imagine if guys like Thomas Sowell and Larry Elder were platformed just a little more :P Latino gangs (and most others) will have a much harder time doing business once the wall is there and lots of their members have been deported by ICE. In Europe the culture behind most gun-deaths is a different one but the problem is more of the same PC nonsense.
PS: Does anyone actually read those resolutions over at the WA or is stuff just rubber-stamped like in the real world? This game is getting more and more realistic...
The problem is that the number of offensive shootings by perpetrators in legal possession of the weapon up to that point is very small. Gun Grabbers™ like to make the case the Aurora Theater Shooter bought his guns legally. That is untrue. He failed to list his mental illnesses on is firearms forms.
Here's another problem. The instant laws are changed to allow mental health professionals to rat out patients to a government registry, the number of people seeking help will drop dramatically. From grief counseling to depression to first responders needing PTSD treatment, a significant fraction of those will not seek or accept help if they believe it could lead to the loss of their Second Amendment rights.
I read them far enough to see if they are to repeal something or not. My WA puppet almost always votes against new laws and for repeals.
So the RP is dead
Some people in the State of Colorado are promoting a referendum that would ban the sale of cell phones to anyone under the age of 13.[1] Seriously?
Is this an overreach or is it something that needs to be done? New poll is up.
I wasn't aware it was sick.

Im trying to get into it but the map hasn't been updated with my map claim yet
What is your claim? Our map guy has unfortunately been very busy so he hasn't been able to do anything
I want Alaska. Arrrrrrr...
According to the Left wing leaders, pundits and most of the media, that special election for Georgia's Sixth Congressional District was going to be a referendum on President Trump.
Going into election day Karen Handel, the Republican Candidate for that seat was somewhere between 1% and 1.5%. At the end of the day Handel handily won that seat 53% to 43%. She not only covered the spread, she quadrupled it.
Now then... Let's see if that election is still a referendum on Trump.
I think it would be helpful to only take away weapons from people with non-nebulous, clearly diagnosed/delineated conditions. Of course the variables for any such legislation should be determined by science/statistics and not statist ideology. Perhaps it will be difficult to legislate this sensibly with neoMarxism/neoliberalism/neoconservatism/globalism permeating education and the deep state :(
There was a significant increase in homelessness/registered gun moralities/spousal violence/prison population etc. once mental health was defunded in the US. Perhaps mental health is one of those things that could be taken care of by a voluntaryist, publicly-funded private enterprise taking the place of government issued mental health? Once this dilapidated sector has been taken care of gun grabbers will have even less of an argument than they already have!
What do you people here think about mandatory military service in connection to the right to bear arms? I could imagine this would severely dent gun-violence statistics (both registered and unregistered) and solve all types of issues besides 2nd amendment "issues". Not in our current military climate of course, but under sensible non-interventionist policies.
