Sure we could use the same "doctors" that help people rightly collect SS disability checks. I am sure it will work out just fine.

If you liked that, I highly advise you watch the YouTube video series, FPSRussia. That guy is funny as hell. When he equipped a drone with a machine gun and then blew up mock bad guys in a camp, I damn near shit myself.

Again, a lot of people don’t say that, and many who do say it really want to say it’s a problem that can’t be solved but instead revert to these weak arguments so they aren’t bullied into submission and called a Nazi by gun control advocates.

I don't think you are trying to understand the point I am making. "Warning signs were missed" are constantly mentioned after a mass shooting as a way to deflect from a real discussion about why mass shootings are so much more common here than most if not all industrialized countries. In my opinion, it's them saying that law enforcement should have stopped this. The youtube shooter is a great example.

So now, we have people shooting and targeting the products of a company because they removed a discount program. If these people then went to the company and started shooting we would look at this is a "warning sign that was missed" yet since they haven't they are just dedicated gun owners standing up for their rights "ammo first".

How are they "violent directly towards" a corporation? And OH NO....THE PRODUCTS?!?!? I broke an Xbox controller once in frustration, should I have to register These Hands so Bill Gates knows he is safe?

You're getting yourself into a mighty big pickle if you start to argue that shooting an inanimate object like a cooler for a video to showcase your displeasure with something isn't protected expression and is instead something warranting government intervention. Boyd is almost always an idiot, but he brought up a great point: Are people who burned LeBron's jersey guilty of a hate crime, or do we think they are more likely to commit a hate crime involving arson?

Yeah, I mean, I don’t really care if that’s how it’s done, but let’s not act like a “mental health evaluation” couldn’t be politicized.

It seems like you agree with me and Kirkwood here so I'm not understanding the argument. Maybe pittmike can explain why you are arguing about it.

You probably misinterpret his sense of humor. Half the time, I am just trying to figure out what movie line he pulled out on me.

You will all be sorry when Donald Trump implements Marshall Law because his steak was undercooked. Good luck fighting back with potato guns.

A lot of people claimed the warning signs were missed with the youtube shooter. How was it different than this?

Your second paragraph only helps my argument. The "warning signs were missed" argument is useless.

Guys who use potato guns should not be allowed near the fryer in MCDonald's. Warning signs.

My point is that those people are reverting to those arguments because they can’t say what they really want to say.

Can you imagine a politician (even one who represents a Southern State) saying “all gun violence is tragic, but it is part of the price of freedom and the Federal Government should not be responsible for regulating it” immediately following a mass shooting? They would be crucified, even though it is a completely reasonable position.

So instead they have to resort to shitty arguments about mental health.

Is shooting products of companies that piss you off the act of a responsible gun owner?

So you have to make a bad argument because you are embarrassed about your true feelings?

I think it would be the duty of responsible gun owners to use their reasonable positions and not intentionally choose bad ones.

Stop saying "warning signs". Do you mean a credible threat of violence? There was that with the Parkland shooter, not so with the YouTube shooter...

http://www.latimes.com/local/lanow/la-m ... story.html



Being "mad" at YouTube is not a "warning sign". Threatening to shoot YouTube employees because of some perceived wrong can be, provided whatever other requisite benchmarks are met for a "credible threat". The police did not have that, and shooting a Yeti cooler is not a credible threat, nor is it a "warning sign".

I don’t think they should do it, either, but what concerns you more: the fact that they do it or the fact that our media will try to ruin a person for simply holding that position?

Shooting at inanimate objects with tannerite in them is not a warning sign. I don't think anyone who shoots at objects containing tannerite has performed a mass shooting. Tannerite shooting is fairly common out here.

That doesn’t have anything to do with the question. I didn’t say it was illegal, but it’s certainly not good for a Democracy.

No one has an issue if it's for shits and giggles.

But with the advent of "can't ignore warning signs!!!!" mantra I fail to see how blowing up a personal possession out of anger over an ended little-known discount isn't a sign the person is off.

Since "mental health!!!!" and "pay attention to abnormal behavior" are the current mantras then these NRA snowflakes need a mental health evaluation and visit from the authorities.

Agreed. This was done for a specific reason. How do we know these people don't show up at Yeti HQ tomorrow?

because they are destroying inanimate objects for attention to a boycott. As dumb as the idea is, clearly there is no physical threat and anyone with common sense can see that.

I don't know.

Uncontrollable rage that causes you to destroy your property shouldn't be ignored.
