"He absolutely destroyed a family," Judd said. "Our homicide detectives are distraught. When you go in there, there is a beautiful Christmas tree with lots of Christmas presents under the tree, just like the nuclear family should be ... and it ends up this way."

Yeah, so maybe, just maybe the drug using alcoholic with anger management issues should not have had a gun. But no, we can't restrict gun ownership, can we. Some old guys a about 250 years ago said we shouldn't do that. So, sorry folks. All you can do is get your own gun and hope you're fast enough to shoot any crazy fucks who come at you before they can shoot you. It's the American way.

Are you suggesting the ambiguously worded will of the slave owners and their enablers from 250 years ago should be adapted to modern reality? What kind of filthy commie talk is that?

[-] Serinus@lemmy.world 38 points 1 month ago

It's not ambiguously worded.

This man was clearly part of a well-regulated militia.

[-] Manjushri@piefed.social 15 points 1 month ago

Well, I... um.. er... Hey! What in the world can that be?!

We do restrict people’s rights to own guns though absolutely no one wants people in jail to have them.

It’s only when you talk about common sense gun restrictions that people lose their minds.

I think if you have a gun you should have to carry liability insurance on it too.

NY has some pretty clear laws about mental health history and pistol permits and I've seen Delaware county judges issue them regardless.

the guys 250 years ago also said something about "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State..." as if to qualify their following statement.

Sociology class I took ages ago mentioned a very strong correlation of domestic violence with football team performance. Basically in the state that the winning team belongs to, their violence rates dip, and the team that lost gets a surge of husbands assaulting/murdering their wives.

Humans are really shitty animals.

[-] Spacehooks@reddthat.com 15 points 1 month ago

One study published in the Quarterly Journal of Economics found that domestic violence rates increase by about 10% on days when NFL games are played, particularly when there are unexpected outcomes or high-stakes matchups.

Wow, Thats beyond margin of error. Wtf ppl?

Mental health in the USA is good.

[-] cygnus@lemmy.ca 32 points 1 month ago

Definitely a normal country full of well-adjusted people. We can see evidence of that on a daily basis.

[-] OrganicWetNoodle@lemmy.world 10 points 1 month ago

This kind of stuff just boggles the mind. I've discussed with my american wife how it's so crazy the volume of insane, violent shit happening in the states compared to the rest of the civilized world and what could the explanation for it be. I'm pretty sure there isn't such a volume of serial killers anywhere else in the world and almost always the most effed up shit that happens in a somewhat civilized country, it's the states.

Incident like this in a european country would probably be the most horrific thing in recent history, lawmakers would scramble to do something about it and it would make headlines for a month. In the states it's just another tuesday afternoon.

is this the "well regulated militia" that everyones talkin about?

[-] cerebralhawks@lemmy.dbzer0.com 28 points 1 month ago

No, no, that argument fell apart the moment the "well" "regulated" 2A "militia" stepped aside and let fascism in. Now they're just tacticool cosplayers.

And now we got the paramilitary gravy seals showing up in jungle camo to kidnap tu abuelo in the fucking Walmart parking lot.

"How does an argument over a television program end up with a murder, an attempted murder and a suicide?" he said.

BECAUSE HE HAD A GUN ASSHOLE.

No one that fucked up should be allowed to own firearms.

If ONLY she had Killed him FIRST this WOULDNT have happened And that's LITERALLY the Only Way to have Prevented that!

[-] NauticalNoodle@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

it mentions that there was a history of abuse that went unreported to the police. I suspect changing that could have prevented this, too.

Those poor kids. The presents under the tree were the last gifts from their mom they'd ever receive. Thank goodness the mom had the awareness to send her son out of the house, and that the baby was unharmed. No matter where they go from here, the older kids, at least, will never be able to look at Christmas the same way again.

It wasn’t a “shooting” it was a NRA sponsored _Freedom Celebration_™

[-] graysonuniverse@sh.itjust.works 13 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

I expect to see more of this.

Conservative women's brains are fucked because they needed a sense of belonging and all they had to choose from were scumbags.

I'm not blaming the women. It's just the reality when a substantial amount of them get sucked up in the MAGA bullshit.
