Columbine kicked off an epidemic of school shootings because of the attention it got. Some people need a focus for their misery and I am not ashamed to say that I would rather see heartless corporate executives fear for their safety instead of school children gunned down as they hide in a closet. Just putting that out there.
I am glad to know I'm not alone in this line of thinking!
Hello lonely young men with something to prove, have you seen how much positive attention Luigi got
well im lonely but i dont want to goto jail.
So what you're saying is if the collective can set Luigi free then you might be okay with the deal?
no ill miss my computer too much but it is tempting.
You can't miss your computer if you die guns blazing or drive off a cliff
depends what situation id get myself into. I'm fond of being alive currently.
In Heaven all those ads promising a "Free Alienware" if you just fill out a survey are actually true.
Just avoid eating inside restaurants for awhile.
I've got very few long term prospects, very little empathy for the undeserving wealthy, and a whole lot of spare time.
Ladies, look out 😎
Well yeah, don't you remember game theory talking about how big his cock is?
Luigi got attention for being arrested, the police are the ones alleging that he was the one who shot the CEO.
It really would be a strange kind of uniquely American poetry if our school shooting problem inverted itself into a megacorp CEO shooting solution.
If a few more CEOs gets off’d, they’ll ram gun control legislation through congress faster than Trump can wolf down a Big Mac.
Historically it's been threats to the owner / controller class that have produced serious gun control legislation in the US, so you are probably right! But if you mean actual confiscation a la Australia, pretty sure that's off the table here. Sincerely think it'd spark a war no matter who sincerely attempts it or why.
The cat is out of the bag, no? 3d printing guns is a bit of a Pandoras box in regards to gun control. Especially in America where it has been legal for so long
Federally legal. I didn't realize it but like 14 states outlaw them and others have prohibitions on parts of them. Honestly, I'm impressed it didn't break. The idea of making one makes me nervous over safety. I haven't even been brave enough to print a stock or foreguard simply out of concern. I also don't trust aluminum casings (if a shell splits it's likely damaging the barrel or receiver).
A papercut that draws blue blood is a bigger issue to these freaks than a river of poor corpses.
Given that the guy used a (partially) 3D-printed gun, I just can't fucking wait to see how the overbroad knee-jerk restrictions are going to impact the hobbyist maker space.
Or they just make it easier for CEOs to get and carry guns.
I think they said that Luigi had a ghost gun, partially 3D printed? Of course he didn't make the bullets so maybe that'll matter.
That would be quite a lot of gun control, especially for the US. Even in the UK you can buy ammo, I'm not sure why because your certainly not allowed a gun.
shit, i would say school shootings are endemic now.
Workplace shootings are nothing new. Where do you think the term Going Postal comes from?
Damn I thought it was the hit game POSTAL 2
Watch the Postal movie for a real wtf humor/horror experience. I enjoyed it, but it's a sensitivity PR nightmare.
I really hope Jo Miran is an alias.
Maybe of the Buckee's beaver?
In this regard, all the media attention might be a good thing. I haven't seen this much coverage since that runaway bride horse shit 15 years ago.
