American Mass Shootings / Stabbings / Car Crashes/bridge collapses

I’m pretty sure he was being satirical.

Just like when “he” calls everybody who disagrees with him a communist, oh wait

Personally I think everybody who speaks in the third person should be exterminated

Wow

Not creepy at all

Oh wait, that was sarcasm

Is there anything about the Republican party that isn’t incredibly creepy and sick

To answer a rhetorical question, no, no there isn’t

There you go, that’s more like the real Sidney.

This chap appears to have been radicalized by the Alt Left.

Twitter is poison, absolute polarization between hard right and left. there was a brief period where the majority seemed shocked by el paso and called for gun control, that lasted a few hours but its gone.

The dayton shooter was shot 30 seconds after starting to shoot. I wouldn’t like to think what the response time would be in an irish town.

We need more guns in Ireland.

Western society is obsessed with facts and being right…it does little for progress.

Indeed. Us v them both sides. Have a read of the replies to piers morgans tweet asking why do americans need guns, countless replies saying to fight tyranny. And being genuine. Theres a bizarre anxiety inbuilt in america that outsiders, even ones who live on coasts there, don’t understand.

People just dig in and both sides hold their arbitrary position so that when something is finally done to address the issue it’s usually half measured.

Fair enough, i dont follow him somone had retweeted it.

But then all he asked was why do americans need so many guns. If you are immediately dismissive of the question just because of who asked it, thats kinda the problem is it not?

If only teachers had the luxury of that type of ammunition and training, then hundreds of lives could be saved.

Theres feral hog t shirts on the go now

Stephen Kings point on it is the simplest and best. Nothing wrong with single shot guns for hunting or sport (or to fight redcoats) . Semi automatics are for murder.

I am not dismissive of the question at all. But Piers Morgan makes my skin crawl.

I don’t watch talk shows so know little of him, he seems like a fool. But again it was just the question that was interesting.

But banning guns in the states would be like banning pints/gin in ireland. Its ingrained in the collective psyche.

more Irish people die from Drinking if they were was a comparison done, should alcohol be banned in Ireland

Guns don’t kill people, shots do.
