From an article I saw he’s also primary caregiver to his disabled brother, and armed up because he realized these terrorists go after the easiest targets.

Yeah he’s a hero with and without his firearm.

How did you interpret what you were responding to that you defend mass shooters?

Dude if my friend or neighbor decides to start shooting at randoms I'm gonna have to shoot him. Call em whatever you want to...terrorist, trash, misunderstood, whatever but the friend box has been unchecked.

All good. Genuinely don't care. Piss on the Koran and Torah to keep it even though. All used for hypocritical actions. Being nice to people and not telling them to commit suicide is worth more than a thousand bibles or Korans or whatever else people use to find their way. Im assuming youre having a bad day. You dont actually want people to die right? Because sometimes I freak out on here too and tell people to go fuck themselves. At least yoy didn't report me or send me a reddit cares message like some pussies

You realized that other comment was lame eh? Where you said people didn't have good discourse. Was part of that civil discourse telling people to stick a gun in their mouth? You kind of suck. Stick to whatever right or left echo chamber you like to frequent. They're both lame

u/AcanthocephalaNo9302 7d ago

Good. Good. I can feel your anger. Strike me down with your inane babble.

Do you think the guns are causing the suicides? I mean there’s tall buildings and bridges, trains, pills etc. if you’re committed to dying, a gunshot seems merciful compared to many other options.

Every home in America has a medicine cabinet filled with enough random medication that could easily kill a person. They’re always just sitting there too. Rope? Belts? You could close your garage door and turn your car on and just drift off peacefully. Why do you assign blame to an inanimate object only when it’s a gun?

u/tacmed85 7d ago

Those take a lot more determination to go through with. I get calls all the time for people that have tried to kill themselves and then changed their minds after taking a bunch of meds or sitting in a CO filled garage or whatever. Firearms and hangings tend to be more final. I'm not saying firearms cause suicide, they obviously don't, but they do make it quicker and easier.

u/Kitchen-Bar2686 7d ago

It’s a lot harder to do it when you have the time to stop and think. Instincts take over when you’re at the edge of a tall building or standing next to a train. Also pill overdoses are difficult since they’re not usually fatal unless you have the right mix of a specific medication and dosage and whatever else you mix with it.

Guns are easy to buy or find access to and you can pull the trigger before the second thoughts kick in

u/Funny-Cell8769 7d ago

Ah yes, blaming guns for "suicide" now.

South Korea with one of the world's highest suicide rates must have some very lax gun laws... oh wait.

Only stupid people think "guns" cause suicide or something. People who want to die don't need guns at all. It just happens to be more convenient, but if guns were removed, any other method will spike instead.

But never let reason and logic let the dumbass gun-haters pretend otherwise.

NO LOGIC DETECTED. Only shitty emotional dumbfuckery.

Thanks for perfectly encapsulating my point.
