Oh wow!

Now we have a total of 40 school shootings in Europe ... since 1900.

hOrni ,

The States do that in like what, two weeks?

Crack0n7uesday ,

His online diary or manifesto whatever was already posted on 4chan, just on like Dec. 10 he was debating if he wanted to be a serial killer that kills one at a time or mass shooter. Long story short, he was going to do some fucked up shit no matter what.

anarchrist ,

I had to actually read an article to make sure it wasn't Prague, Wisconsin or some nonsense.

merc ,

I just naturally assumed I'd misread and that it was something to do with PragerU.

negativeyoda ,

Yeah, except the Czech Republic will probably take meaningful steps to ensure it doesn't happen again

SupraMario ,

Considering they have a semi-2a already, doubt they will. And I hope they don't and get further pro-2a...russia is near.

Mr_Blott ,

WT actual F is a 2A? Sounds like a school class? Do we shoot it?

ug02x ,

It's "murican" for the right to bear arms. Namely referring to the Second Amendment of the US Constitution.

Somebody probably has shot it knowing this country.

Mr_Blott ,

Ah yes, that really old law. We have one in the UK like that, it says something like you can shoot a Scotsman in York on sight, but only with a bow and arrow or after midnight or something

But it's not enforced because it's an old law and, well, WE'RE NOT FUCKING STUPID 😂

Serinus ,

You're advocating to disregard any constitution that's too old?

Jimmyeatsausage ,

At least update the fucker every few years...we won't even do that anymore.

Asafum ,

One thing a lot of people are concerned about is the current state of politics, it's incredibly difficult to get that process going and once we open that can of worms you better believe that billionaire assholes that have already been trying to influence politics will have their favorite atrocious shit put into the constitution.

It's more like "let's legislate our issues first." If we have to change the constitution I'm pretty sure we're going to end up with an amendment that requires all citizens to buy Koch products, abolish the EPA and make those kinds of departments unconstitutional, or some other absurd nonsense.

Well, brexit.

Just stupid in different ways.

We can all be morons together. separately if you don't want to risk stray bullets from this side.

shadowSprite ,

Since it's still on the books, could that be used as a legal defense? (Just curious, I'm neither in the UK nor wish to kill anyone with a bow and arrow after midnight)

Evia ,

No, common law is set in precident and there's no legal precident for it currently.

the_post_of_tom_joad ,

Yeeehaw! I've got a semi-2A just thinking bout shootin'

drcobaltjedi ,

Second amendment of the US constitution. It's text is:

A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.

And what that means is up to "interpretation" and some think it means that everyone with no restrictions what so ever should be able to buy guns on a moments notice. Its the main reason why we have this problem state side.

Types 2a because they can't spell ammendment

PinkPanther ,

That's because the education system would be better run by a crack head.

"Wait a minute,

They have guns in other countries?"

Its not funny....

AllonzeeLV ,

gal·lows hu·mor
/ˈɡalōz ˈ(h)yo͞omər/
noun

grim and ironic humor in a desperate or hopeless situation.

Easy answer. Used too much. An especially weak argument when the one finding it "funny" is never from the area it's happening in, and thus doesn't actually have any emotional connection they're needing to cope with.

You know there are still a couple recordings floating around from people who had tried to call family and/or 911 prior to dying in 9/11? I've found anyone who listens to those seems to stop making the 9/11 jokes. Strikes me odd. Must have made it real.

School shooting in Europe: A tragedy

School shooting in America: A Tuesday

Jimmyeatsausage ,

Pssh, like we only do 1 a week

DragonTypeWyvern ,

Closer to a day. 288 this year, but school's out, so we'll just have some mall and church shootings to close out the season.
