WW1 vets were supposed to get a bonus check after the war. The army said "Um... We're switching to medals. They're shiny! Don't you want a medal?" Vets protested heavily and those protests were put down with violent force by people who would later command in WW2.

I didn't know that...:ehh: it just seems so hollow because the military industrial complex and the gun makers and the nra works hand in hand...:manny: i have 0 sympathy for any of these entities right now...

So all of a sudden infowars and gateway pundit is throwing conspiracies that the kids from the shooting were crisis actors. This fukking incredible :what: these people are a cancer
jones and his crew have been running bs like that forever. The worst part is they have a following that believes it.

Edit : They also spread bs about Obama holding up the election if Hillary didn't win. They literally just say anything. The more outlandish the better.

So when will the #ConspiracySet come to this thread to spread their dumb conspiracies the same way they did with the Las Vegas shooting?
Most of them have been bushed and learned their lesson from that charlottesville thread.

:jbhmm:

It's weird that whenever there is a mass shooting involving a white man the #ConspiracySet will talk about false flag, crisis actor...... etc, like they did with Sandy Hook and Las Vegas, but they will not talk about those things if the shooter was a Muslim.

:comeon:

Like its impossible for them to believe that a deranged white man can commit mass murder.

I've wanted to post about this for a while.

I'm in a really weird spot on this, because I'm a liberal and I'm also a martial arts instructor with 20+ years of experience, as well as some armed security and personal protection work, and most of the left (my side) has little to no clue about guns, how they work, how violence plays out, how gunfights or self defense situations play out, etc.

So a lot of people on the right mentally check out when the people on the left talk about things that aren't real, like "high capacity assault magazine clips", etc. If you can't talk their language, they aren't going to be into having a debate. Both sides need to budge on this, and both pro-gun and anti-gun sides are planting their feet firmly in the stand. It's frustrating as fukk.

I heard they're banning bump stocks? Great. Good start. However, the weird thing about bump stocks is that they aren't that effective at killing lots of people. That may sound ridiculous because the Vegas shooter killed a ton of people with them. But ask any professional shooter, and they will tell you that he would've caused more mayhem and death if he had aimed and shot one shot at a time. Fully automatic gunfire (holding down the trigger/machine gun fire) is rarely used in military situations, and when it is it is used as "suppressing fire" which basically keeps the enemy's heads down while your team advances/retreats position with more safety. The best gunfighters in the world shoot one shot at a time and they laugh at gimmicky shyt like bump stocks.

This whole thing is tough. Most of the gun control measures suggested won't do much to genuinely help. I can expand on any specific questions of anyone has any.

I think it should be way more difficult than it is to procure firearms. I think it should be like getting a pilot's license, and I think you should have to qualify regularly to be able to keep it.

This is going to be a long and tough, drawn out conversation, and these mass shootings sadly aren't going to stop anytime soon. I don't like the idea of metal detectors and armed guards in schools, and it probably sounds batshyt crazy to anti-gunners, but speaking from someone with 20+ years in self defense, martial arts, firearms, and how mass shooters think, and how violent encounters play out...I honestly it's not a terrible idea at this point...at least as an interim option.

People on the left (my people), please: If you want to win this conversation against the gun crowd, take an hour or two and try to learn more about firearms. You may have a dozen valid points but if you try to tell a pro-gunner that no one should be able to buy a semi-automatic rifle that can spray bullets by holding down the trigger (not a possible thing) then they're not going to listen to anything else you have to say. Go to a shooting range and shoot. Figure out how guns work. Look into FBI stats on gun violence. Try to figure out what gun control measures would help and what measures would not.

Get your kids into martial arts. Teach them what to do in dangerous situations. Teach them to spot warning signs in troubled individuals. Teach them to walk upright, alert, and paying attention. I know guns are scary but you need knowledge for the debate, and it's going to make you better equipped to have these arguments with people that love guns and don't want to let them go.

One major thing that we have got to do as a society is what we all did after 9/11. After 9/11 if anyone tried any funny business on an airplane, we all knew as a society that we all had an obligation to rush them or else we all could die.

We need to adopt this with schools. WE NEED TO! Again, I've done MMA for 20+ years, and it diesn't mater if it;s Jon Jones or some elite fighter...if they get bum rushed by a ton of people, they are going down. We need to teach our kids that if they see someone that is a mass shooter, that shooter is going to get rushed and taken down. Will some kids die? Probably so. But it will save lives. One hero at a time is easy to shoot down. No heroes are easier to shoot down. If half a dozen is rush then maybe one or two gets shot but then the shooter is down.

These shooters are cowards and they usually turn the guns on themselves or give up at the first sign of resistance. They don't want a fight. They want people that will sit there and allow themselves to be murdered. There needs to be a hive mind where (and I know this is so much easier said than done) where the potential victims run towards the shooter and not away from them.

And no parent wants their kid to try to be the hero that runs towards the gun fire. I get it. But a paradigm shift in how we treat these shootings in our society will save a ton of lives. It just will. You can be the best fighter ever and you can;t do shyt on the bottom of a dog-pile. Dog-pile these sons of bytches, and they no longer pose a threat.

And for god's sake. We need to get some law where the media is allowed to post the names of these shooters the day of the crime, and maybe 1 photo. For news-sake, I get that. A mug shot if there is one. But after that we need to stop letting them turn these guys into famous people. They should die the nobodies that they are. No one should know them. They should die alone and in the shadows. These people want some sort of infamy or notoriety. DON't fukkING GIVE IT TO THEM!

Excellent post.
Thank you!

I genuinely want to help. I am not an expert, but I do have a lot of experience, and I'm happy to answer any questions that anyone has about self defense, what guns are the most dangerous, how much gun crime is rifles vs handguns, how to best prepare your kids and how much to tell them at what ages, etc.

If I can't help I can refer you to someone that can or somewhere to look.

I want this madness to stop. I also don't want shyt like today to happen---for Trump to get away with banning bump stocks and have people that don't know shyt about guns think it's actually going to have much of an impact on stopping this insanity.

Knowledge is power.

Hug your families close. It's a cold world, but there are more good people out there than these evil, sick fukks, and we will triumph over them!
