So now "The Talk" that every Black parent has to have with their kids...

[Scooter]

... has to be updated to include "don't EVER make the dumb n-gg-r mistake of ringing the wrong doorbell".

Well in fairness a car full of white kids got shot up for driving down the wrong driveway- didn’t even get out of their car and the homeowner blasted them and killed one.

I remember the Japanese exchange student - high school age - who was shot by a homeowner in Baton Rouge because he knocked on the wrong door looking for a party. I didn't realize until I just looked it up that was 1992 or >30 years ago.

"An armed society is a polite society" — BULLSHIT!

As of the 10th of April — a hundred days into 2023 — there have already been 146 mass shootings (shootings in which at least four victims are hit by gunfire) and 15 mass killings (shootings in which four or more people were killed, not including the shooter) .

Truth is, an armed society is a trigger-happy society.

And the reference for that is https://www.nytimes.com/2023/04/17/nyre ... oting.html . He has been charged with murder because the sheriff says he had no reason to feel threatened.

Couple of competitive cheerleaders just got shot because one of them mistakenly opened a door on the wrong car in a carpool parking lot. She closed the door and walked away but the shooter followed her back to her friend’s car and shot them both. You can never be too careful about cheerleaders, after all.

So glad we have our 2A rights and are drowning in guns.

A neighbor shot up an entire family because the 6 year old's basketball rolled onto his property.

I have guns and a CCW permit. I've been annoyed by people. I've had people knock on my door. So far, no shots fired in anger. Am I doing it wrong?

If your only tool is a hammer then every problem looks like a nail.

If your only tool is a gun then every problem looks like a target.

This thread has been hijacked a bit into examples of random gun violence over the most trivial of things; here’s one old white guy who blew away his white middle aged neighbor over use of a leaf blower. The story relates that the guy had brandished a gun at neighbors on multiple occasions, I cannot fathom why he still had a license to possess one - unless nobody ever reported it?

Guy executes a bunch of his neighbors for asking him to stop shooting his assault rifle off the porch while their baby is sleeping.

I was in a diner today and the kids on the booth attached to mine kept kicking. I did not slaughter the whole family. Am I still doing this wrong?
