Appreciate you not throwing those **** under the school bus until all the facts were gathered retroactively. You are a time machine of measured sensitivity.
Should there just be a "Mass shooting in the US" sticky thread?

Wow. Absolutely ******. On ******'s Day at a birthday party. Just amazing how demented people can be. Imagine the survivors especially the **** there, the neighbors, the cops and paramedics on the scene. I just got back home taking 2 great ******* out to dinner and getting them both *****. This story is quite a contrast.
Or don't own a ***.

Not sure if this is good or bad but Colorado held out since march 22nd as the last shooting.

Hey, I was Bragging on you folks.
Vancouver shooting: Man ****ed in gang-related ******** at airport
https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-57054104I know it's not "technically" a mass shooting (or even in the US), but proportionately speaking with Canada's shooting numbers, I thought this was worth mentioning because of how messed up it was. Plus the suspects were shooting at police and got away which raises a whole bunch of other questions.

👏 Colorado was just reclaiming its rightful place.

Piers Morgan nailed it:
https://www.foxnews.com/media/piers-morgan-to-us-on-frequent-mass-shootings-just-admit-you-dont-care
"I wish Americans would stop pretending to be ‘shocked’ by the country’s unrelenting procession of mass shootings. You can’t be ‘shocked’ when something keeps happening that you do nothing to stop. Just admit you don’t care enough to act, because you love guns too much."
Newsmax quotes a WaPo-ABC poll showing a decline in support for *** control measures:

This is obvious: America needs more guns.

As I have said before, I want an UZI
Maybe we need a virus that prevents people from moving their trigger fingers?
Imagine the implications of a virus that affects your ability to use a ***. Gang members, NRA/anti-maskers etc wouldn't be able to think properly with all the contradictory messages.

One thing we do need and may even some day get is a *** with biometrics. Unless you are known to the ***, it won't fire. DNA, whatever it takes.

Wasn't that done in 007?

Maybe? I have read occasional articles about research trying to do that but nothing concrete.
I recall Bond was quipping it wasn't as crazy as past gadgets, and Q was like "we don't do that anymore".
Realistically though, we know how iffy unlocking your phone with your fingerprint can be; would you want that same system to be used on something that you could be using to defend your life with?

Although I appreciate the quality and creativity you guys are bringing to the discussion, the fact remains - most users of guns are either the owner or associated with the firearm in some manner. The biometrics still won't stop many shootings. Some of the accidental ones? Sure.
I am fatalistic about the whole situation: there is no solution. The proverbial genie is out of the bottle and she's not going back in.
