    If this is a legitimate question, the answer is obviously no.

    If you are trying to make a point, you’re in Billy Madison “may God have mercy on your soul” territory.

    I guess we have to put all those guns to good use.

    Mass killings hit new high: 210 people were killed in 41 attacks including 33 mass shootings in the US during 2019

    A database shows that there were more mass killings in 2019 than any year dating back to at least the 1970s, punctuated by a chilling succession of deadly rampages during the summer.

    I only have so many organs they can remove at this point
    No, but I think the Nurse who gave me the straight catheter was named Burrow, or that's what she was trying to do, one or the other - Holy Fuck that shit hurt. I hope that bitch gets cancer in her hooha

    That was a f#cking dissection. I heard Burrow drove the Sooner Schooner home and parked it in his driveway

    Do they count as GGGs (good guy with gun) when they're working as security?

    Few people are going to argue that security personnel shouldn't be armed, and the dudes that stopped this shooting were voluntary security guards. Personally, I'd exempt any security personnel or off-duty cop as a GGG.

    I had to Wiki this:

    The name of "White Settlement" was originally bestowed upon the community by several Indigenous tribes in the area. The city got its name because it was the lone village of white pioneers amid several Native American encampments in the Fort Worth area in the Texas Republic territory in the 1840s. On October 14, 2005, city leaders, citing hurdles in attracting businesses, announced a plan to have local voters decide on a possible name change for the town from White Settlement to West Settlement. In the November 8 election, the name change was overwhelmingly rejected by a vote of 2,388 to 219

    GGG are only good if they dont kill innocents in the process. Which, you know, happens a lot. If the cops can't get it straight how tf are civilians going to?

    I wondered how he was able to participate in the service, see the danger, draw his weapon and put the dude down all in 6 seconds from first shot. But, apparently the dude looked sketchy and people including the retired LEO had their eye on him

    It's quite close, as in walking distance if not for the inconvenient route to get there. Was wondering what was happening with all the sirens and lights.

    And I am not surprised. The woman who use to cut my hair, her husband worked there in the warehouse, and said the company kept reducing the number or workers. She said he was really stressful on all of them. So with the gun culture around here, I am not surprised this occurred. That said, there is a new twist:

    https://www.jsonline.com/story/news...lsoncoors-campus-unknown-injuries/4884282002/

    The shooter was armed with two handguns, one with a silencer, according to a police source.

    Silencers or suppressors are legal in 42 states, including Wisconsin. They must be registered with the federal government under the National Firearms Act. According to the latest report from the ATF, more than 29,333 are registered in the state.

    First, a silencer? WTF? Second, there are over 29k registered in the state? Again, WTF?
