Yep. His condescending attitude and attempt at slapstick humor is just his way of relieving himself of his own insecurities and paranoia while living it up in his $100 per month mansion in Kampot.Kung-fu Hillbilly wrote: ↑Mon Jul 11, 2022 4:09 pmYou're fucking kidding, right?CaptainCanuck wrote: ↑Mon Jul 11, 2022 2:28 pm Oh John ...

Projection is a psychological mechanism attributing character traits one finds distasteful in him or herself onto others.

this is what the NRA loves
Armed bystander credited with preventing more deaths in Indiana shooting
Armed bystander credited with preventing more deaths in Indiana shooting
https://www.reuters.com/legal/governmen ... 07-19-2022GREENWOOD, Ind., July 18 (Reuters) - The gunman who killed three people in a shopping mall near Indianapolis would likely have taken many more lives if not for the "heroic" actions of an armed bystander who shot the suspect dead and stopped the attack, police said on Monday.
Elisjsha Dicken, 22, who was lawfully carrying a concealed pistol at the time, "engaged" the suspect on Sunday almost as soon he opened fire with a rifle in a food court at the Greenwood Park Mall in Greenwood, Indiana, authorities said. Police said they did not know the motive behind the rampage.
In a nation run by swine, all pigs are upward-mobile and the rest of us are fucked until we can put our acts together: not necessarily to win, but mainly to keep from losing completely. HST

Also, note the scare quotes in the Reuters. Awful journalism.

Re: Will guns ever be outlawed in America
Unlike the last however many shootings, this time the shooter was stopped before the police got there and stopped him, and he was only able to kill three people.
That's three people dead and an unknown number traumatized.
As I write this there are almost certainly more guys just like him buying an arsenal of weapons, body armor, and all the ammo they can carry specifically so they go out tomorrow, or next week, and try to get a better headcount than this guy before they're eventually stopped. If, as occasionally happens it's a member of the public that stops him instead of the police this will be seen as a success story, the system will have worked and he'll have 'only' killed X amount of people.
It's obviously great for the people selling the guns and for the politicians who get paid to enable it, but calling this any sort of success story for society seems like some broken mental gymnastics to me.

Re: Will guns ever be outlawed in America
Well this definitely makes up for the 19 kids that were killed in the Uvalde school shooting. Everything is ok now.
A guy kills three (3) people and it’s a “good guys win” story. What kind of a society are we living in?

Re: Will guns ever be outlawed in America
No no mate, you're not seeing the big picture here.
If tomorrow's shooters - let's throw a number out there and say 10 of them - aren't allowed to buy their guns that means good guys can't buy theirs either and there's a chance one (1) of those shooters will be shot by a good guy member of the public before he kills more than about 5 or 10 school kids. I think you'll find that works out very well for big business and think of all the future sales, high fives and yee haws the headline will bring.
Re: Will guns ever be outlawed in America
Yep, the way some people rationalize situations like this really blows my mind. It defies logic when someone claims that it’s great that “ONLY THREE” people were killed in a shooting. Wonder how those three individuals family and friends feel about that.Random Dude wrote: ↑Wed Jul 20, 2022 6:30 amNo no mate, you're not seeing the big picture here.
