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

That's how it usually starts, an innocent war against squirrels escalates into a mass shooting at McDonalds because they ran out of ketchup.
Good thing the cops arrested him before he went crazy.

The best part of that article:
The man’s wife said to him, “Well, I told you” as he was being arrested, police said.
The one below it though:
https://apnews.com/article/los-angeles-virginia-riverside-39ebea2809db1df1199ae8416ded2086
A VIrginia state trooper drove to California and killed a 15-year old girl’s mom and grandparents. After murdering them he set fire to their home and abducted the girl. He later killed himself with his service revolver during a shootout with San Bernardino deputies.
His hiring was determined to be ‘human error’. A few years ago he threatened to kill his father and himself which led to a detention for a psychiatric evaluation.

Maybe we just let the guns run everything and ban humans from the equation? Humans seem to be causing too many problems.

Wasn't there a poll asking what animal Americans felt they could kill bare-handed?
They need to add squirrels as an option, as this guy clearly felt he was not up to the task.

You wouldn't be able to catch it. If you trapped it, you still have to get a good grip on it. Personally, I like the little bushy tailed rats. I have eaten then, and it is good, but just to see them being clowns around the yard, it's worth the bird seed to see them doing their thing. A couple of years ago, during the beginning of mating season, I had 7 or 8 bunnies running around my back yard jumping in the air, and knocking each other around. It was one of the funniest thing I've ever seen.

I put my animal sanctuary cat food out where I can see it from my bedroom window and am feeding some of the ugliest possums you have ever seen along with raccoons, squirrels, skunks, and a couple kitties.
Check this guy out. He lives in Nova Scotia and loves his raccoons.

It is fun watching them run around - up and down trees, then going from tree to tree in the branches ... very entertaining.

Corn? Maybe biscuits. Corn???

Since gun laws are so controversial, maybe we need some Corn Laws.

We have more of a criminal problem, then a gun problem, especially Chicago, Memphis, Atlanta, NYC, and L.A. Everyday things like this happen in these cities, and almost EVERYTIME, it's a repeat offender, that isn't allowed to own a gun, or on parole, or out on bail. These, and other cities like it, have a revolving door policy of justice. Wrist's get slapped, probation, and parole are given, because all these charges get pled down. If they caught them, and locked them away for 25 years, because of the gun, or stated cutting off trigger fingers, it just might go a long way yo reduce crime, and get illegal guns off of the street. You'll never get legally owned firearms. There is no way to even possibly do that, and even if you restrict guns, read the news, how many cops are dirty? To many, that's how many. Law abiding citizens aren't the problem, and neither is an inanimate object. Punish the ones that have it coming, and punish them very harshly. We need jobs, the country needs more prisons, it isn't that far a stretch on how this could, and should work.

… more from Chicago.

The murderer was paroled 3 months ago after serving time for a 2014 conviction for a home invasion which resulted in 2 deaths. He did not appreciate his freedom it seems.

Exactly why I am thinking humans should be removed from the equation.

I'll be the first person to tell you, the Earth would've been better off if the dinosaurs stuck around. People are fucked up. Humanity is almost non existent anymore. When by the time guys in our age group die, it'll be total chaos, and when the generation behind us is gone, it will be unbearable, if it's even still inhabited by humans. Or I should say by the humans mutated into vile creatures from all of the nuclear fall out, like on some bad Friday night monster flick.

Corn syrup and other sweeteners kills more people than guns!!!
What Makes High Fructose Corn Syrup So Bad? - Aug 19, 2020
https://www.hartfordhospital.org/about-hh/news-center/news-detail?articleId=27851&publicid=461
Guns don't kill people, tasty sweets kill people!!!
Added sugars and high fructose corn syrup are considered primary causes of the overweighting of America. Weight gain abetted by high-calorie foods containing HFCS can also contribute to heart disease, diabetes, fatty liver disease and dyslipidemia, an abnormal level of cholesterol and other fats in the blood. Fructose becomes a more universal threat to your body by accumulating as visceral fat around your organs.
HFCS also adds to natural bacteria in our intestines, which can produce bloating and gas.
It's not just HFCS: Any sweetener, including table sugar, can contribute to these health problems. For food manufacturers, HFCS is a much cheaper sweetener than sugar.
Since sugar kills more people annually than guns, why isn't the debate for making sugar illegal?

According to the World Health Organization, gun deaths make up roughly .07% of all deaths in any given year. This includes suicides and accidental discharges.

And there's no trend - KFC, Jack in the box, Wendy's, And all in different states.
In Canada, instead of shootings, there are just pervs who make lewd comments:

It's probably because the shooters were hangry. If everyone who buys a gun is given a free donut, there would be less shootings.
All fast food restaurants should have a kiosk next to the front door giving out a free donut to everyone who has a gun.
Problem solved!!!
