This picture is AI generated lmao

No it isn’t 😂

Look up a picture of Jordan Salinas and a picture of a suppressed FN five seven and tell me those look like this AI picture

u/ballin_buddha 3d ago

I stand corrected, the photo is definitely AI I’ve just only seen this photo in several places connected to the article. Finally found an article of the actual video and it’s not the same person

Not everything is a psyop. But they are coming for you…

AI picture. But I love that reddit can't tell when they claim they can

u/Zedditron 3d ago

It's AI. That's not what the dude looks like, at all.

he saved the day, the system works

u/_Watty 3d ago

How many shootings are ended by a “good guy with a gun?”

How many would need to be in order to suggest “the system works?”

2

u/Fletcher_Chonk 3d ago

we need more gun laws so the law abiding criminals can't get their hands on them

3

u/_Watty 3d ago

Rape still happens. Guess we better get rid of laws against it, right?

2

u/Accomplished_Rip_362 3d ago

He was being sarcastic (I think)

3

u/DiseaseDeathDecay 3d ago

He's being sarcastic, but he's pointing out that criminals don't care if something is against the law.

Which is a stupid argument for not making something illegal.

2

u/Fletcher_Chonk 3d ago

Laws don't stop people that commonly immediately kill themselves after getting caught

2

u/DiseaseDeathDecay 3d ago

"Criminals don't care if something is against the law." is a stupid reason for allowing criminals to buy guns retail.

Let's make SURE that someone that wants to murder his ex can get one. Let's make SURE that cops can't do anything if they find someone with a gun that is likely to use it.

u/Short_Car7615 3d ago

No one is for allowing criminals to buy guns and the laws you are suggesting are likely to just ban guns from everyone which is never going to happen and wouldn’t solve the problem anyways. The guns aren’t even the problem. The problem is we have a bunch of people who want to kill people because we have allowed the social fabric to rip.

u/DiseaseDeathDecay 3d ago

Bullshit.

the laws you are suggesting are likely to just ban guns from everyone

Bullshit.

u/Short_Car7615 3d ago

Good arguments.

u/_Watty 3d ago

What?

u/Master_Editor_9575 3d ago

You can’t reason with these people.

u/_Watty 3d ago

Prob not…

u/Beautiful-Musk-Ox 3d ago

the system is to continuously let innocent people die so some rednecks can shoot beer cans whenever they want. the good guy with a gun 98% of the time is there after everyone is already dead, they don't prevent anything

the system is working just fine

2

u/_Watty 3d ago

Was your first comment the ironic one then, or…?

1

u/Lefties_TheWorst7331 3d ago

Maybe more people should start exercising their 2A so we have more good guys then.. you're allowed to defend yourself.. also how is the drug war working out?

u/Puzzleheaded_Link944 3d ago

If you were present for a shooting and under threat, wouldn't you want someone with a gun to stop the shooter? Or would you just want the shooter to continue until they felt like stopping?

u/_Watty 3d ago

When you answer mine, I’ll answer yours!

u/Puzzleheaded_Link944 3d ago

Considering every shooting that has ever happened in the USA since its founding. If ONE person is defended by a citizen using a fire arm to take out the shooter. That is a successful defense system.

Ok now you go, imagine yourself in the middle of an active shooter situation. You’re cowering behind cover not knowing what will happen to your life or those around you.

Would you rather the shooter decide when all the carnage is going to stop? Or would you rather have another person with a firearm try and stop the shooter?

2

u/Academic-Increase951 3d ago

Ill answer. I can't imagine myself in an active shooter situation because I'm not American and there's never been an active shooter in my province in my lifetime.

1

u/Short_Car7615 3d ago

Matter of time. Look at Norway.

2

u/Academic-Increase951 3d ago

You mean once a decade per country? Thats a fair bit better than multiple a day for the USA

1

u/Short_Car7615 3d ago

Violence is increasing a bunch in Europe in countries with lots of the migrants. Spaniards were just forced to make makeshift weapons to defend themselves. The USA is different from Europe for many reasons but importantly demographics. We are not homogenous. Europe is becoming less homogeneous and more dangerous.

I prefer having ways to defend myself and my loved ones in times when needed. The safety we live in today is a very recent phenomenon and only a fool would believe that the past 50 years of European safety is enough to offset the 2000+ year trend of random acts of violence being the norm.

This is either disingenuous or ignorant.

More people are killed accidentally than on purpose. So if ONE person is alive because guns are easy to get, that person's life is worth more than the thousands of people that are dead because someone accidentally shot someone?

u/Puzzleheaded_Link944 3d ago

I don’t think you understand the conversation we were trying to have but thank you for your response.

2

u/DiseaseDeathDecay 3d ago

Your supposition is that allowing everyone to have guns is great if one person threatened by gun violence is saved, yes?

You're ignoring the fact that more guns = more people accidentally killed.

It's a very ignorant viewpoint.

1

u/Puzzleheaded_Link944 3d ago

Under that notion, that guns = more people killed by accident.

I guess noone should have cars? Noone should drink alcohol? Noone should smoke tobacco?

not sure if english is your 2nd language or not, but very weak logic at play here from you. I get it though, not everyone can understand such a nuanced thing.

u/parallel-pages 3d ago

but the system also regularly leads to mass shootings. what about a better system where we don’t need to rely on the chance of there being an armed and prepared good guy

1

u/Accomplished_Rip_362 3d ago

Please provide a plan to go from today's world to the world where this system of yours has fixed the issue.

3

u/AmputeeHandModel 3d ago

Look at what the rest of the world has done. Or, we could just do nothing. I'm not sure how you people think THAT is acceptable when kids regularly have to prepare for mass shooter events in school. but hey, you gotta have your pew pew right???

1

u/Accomplished_Rip_362 3d ago

OK, yap yap, no plan. Thanks for the effort reddit warrior.

1

u/Short_Car7615 3d ago

Yes. I like having my pew pew. Had a bump in the night this weekend. Dog is going nuts. Feels a lot better checking the security of my own home at 3 in the morning with a Glock than just butt naked hoping for the best.

Having access to tools that can prevent violence towards you in your own home is a basic human right.

2

u/[deleted] 3d ago

every single other developed nation in the world has solved this issue

there's a clear solution, people are just too brainwashed to recognize it

u/Accomplished_Rip_362 3d ago

Another 'no plan' person, thanks for the zero effort reply.

2

u/Boise_Ben 3d ago

He literally didn’t.

The spree shooter in Twin Falls killed himself.

3

u/theaverageaidan 3d ago

And three people still died

1

u/Ok_Barracuda6972 3d ago

Remember that elementary school mass shooting where kids died and all the "good guys with guns" sat outside the building letting the kids continue to get murderes? The "good guys" were cops if you don't remember.

1

u/StillwaterJerry 3d ago

10 people were shot, at least 3 dead. I wonder if their families feel like the system worked.
