Should there just be a "Mass shooting in the US" sticky thread?

Have you seen this before? Seems like in interesting form of self-defense weaponry.

You know what's more intimidating than calmly pulling out a gun? Maniacally pulling out and wielding a massive blade. They take you more serious if you pick number B.

I remember seeing that scene in the theater when Raiders came out. The place went nuts and roared with laughter too. I need to see the other Raiders films still. Harrison Ford turned 80 this year.

Being primarily a sci-fi fan, I liked Raiders 4 the most, then Raiders 1, Raiders 3, and Raiders 2. They're all good and fun movies to watch.

Someone needed to tell this guy ...

A real hero: Mr. Surrett appears to have saved many lives in Bend, Oregon.

... but there's more to the story:
https://www.opb.org/article/2022/09/01/bend-oregon-shooting-hero-surrett-criminal-record/

He spent some time in Leavenworth for 'an indecent act against a minor.' After being released from the military, he did not re-offend while living in Oregon.

Was just thinking... Lux is a smart man. I bet he knows a ton about the sci-fi. I also bet he's has ideas for his own film. I'd listen...

• He was born in Fargo, North Dakota
• He had no criminal history nor had he ever been arrested.
• As soon as he turned 18, on May 16, he started buying guns and ammunition. In the end he bought two AR-15-style rifles and thousands of rounds.

He was in legal possession of the items. Where's the issue? Just another American exercising his rights.The guns didn't fire on their own so they're fine.

You guys got me all confused now thinking Han Solo shoots up supermarkets. Lucky we got some law and order around here.

 

[gmase]

I think you are confusing yourself.

 

[Little Red Wagon Repairman]

Your confusion confused me and you, sir, are thus guilty as the seed of confusement.

What?

 

[Little Red Wagon Repairman]

What?

Confusing, right? See? Thanks bubb.

Fact Check: Were There Armed Protesters at the Capitol on January 6? - June 13, 2022
https://www.newsweek.com/fact-check-were-there-armed-protesters-capitol-january-6-1715326

"not only is there substantial and clear evidence that there were protesters with guns, it's also not clear why Carlson and other commentators believe that guns are a defining character of an insurrection."

"As it is, there is genuine concern that a repetition will occur in January 2025 - but this time, better organised and much more serious."

"Tucker Carlson and others making the claim are incorrect in suggesting that no-one at the January 6 Capitol riots was carrying firearms. It's also misleading to claim the presence of firearms determines whether or not January 6 amounted to an insurrection, though the final ruling on the latter is yet to be made, as potential new evidence of the House Select committee may yet shed new light on the issue."
