Lemme guess, they stay up all night, party, leave beer cans in your yard and have loud sex during all hours of the night, sleep during the day, and somehow stay home all day? If so, then we have VERY similar neighbors.
How'd you know?

A mod warning some dude who was spamming a certain speech wrote: "I don't know who you think you are. I don't know or care what you want. If you are looking to be funny, I can tell you I don't find spamming threats from a movie very funny. But what I can tell you is that I have a very particular set of skills; skills I have acquired over a very long career. Skills that make me a nightmare for people like you. If you cease and desist your spamming now, that'll be the end of it. I will not look for you, I will not pursue you. But if you don't, I will look for you, I will find you, and I will delete you."

Cannot think of a name wrote:Freelanderness wrote:So my question is, how do we prevent these from happening in the future, without looking at gun control laws?
I'm just curious to hear some answers.
A much harder, but much more complicated and necessary discussion has to be had about how we view guns. We're not going to get the guns out of our culture, that ship sailed.
But it's this attitude about guns, their sacred nature...imagine if there was some thread about some speeder killing twenty kids on a bus doing a buck twenty on the freeway, and the first ten responses in the thread were, "Don't you dare tell us we can't drive fast! Anyone who blames driving fast for this is politicizing this tragic event!" How would we react? Would anyone respect those peoples opinions? Would anyone look at those people saying that with anything other than disgust? What kind of horrible person would rush to the defense of the speeder at a time like this?
But that's what we do with guns every time. And then starts in the whole notion that the solution to the gun problem is more guns. If only there had been more guns there, it would have worked itself out. That guns are so magical they'll fix the problems that they create. That a gun has the ability to tell who is right and who is wrong, and our aim is always true.
No one dies on battlefields because everyone has guns. The 'right' side always wins because guns know which one is which and only shoot true when the wielder is true, soldiers never accidentally shoot their own.
Guns are in our culture. Lots of people have them and most by a bunch manage to at worst only shoot themselves. The pheasant hunter, the gun range enthusiast, the collector, they're no more responsible for this on the face of it than I am for some jackanape who decides that I-80 is the autobahn. It's not the gun itself.
But, when we fall all over ourselves to make excuses for the gun, when we we create some sort of fantasy world where the gun makes bad people go away, when we look at the horrible things that guns make possible or make easier and we the first thing we think to do is try and shame anyone who questions the way we deal with guns in our culture...that's a problem. That's the problem. That we've made guns sacred, that we've given them a mythological status.
Until we sort that out we'll never have a productive conversation about guns. Instead every time the next person takes a gun and uses it for what it was designed for we'll wring our hands over whether or not it's 'okay' to talk about guns our not and never do a damned thing except clear the way for the next one.
