Soon you won't be allowed to build your own gun. Anyone know how a guns serial number helps law enforcement? Obviously if they recover it they can tell where it came from but I guess if the gun isn't recovered having a serial number won't help in the slightest.

This Vice article outlined just how ridiculous the gun record checks are: https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.vice.com/amp/en/article/wdbd9y/the-atfs-nonsensical-non-searchable-gun-databases-explained-392

They (NYC) will throw massive amounts of money at the NYPD as if they will protect anyone.

Part of it is due to NYC appeal for tourism, they can't afford to have it considered a dangerous place to visit.

 

The wee old fat boy they were looking for is no long a person of interest and is the suspect wanted for the mass shooting. $50,000 for anyone that can grass him in.

That's him lifted. 

Turns out he wasn't short, just a bit rotund.

ETA he only got 7 miles away out of Brooklyn into the Ukrainian Village area of New York City

The news report suggested they were from the subway but I suspect we will know more today.

Ah thanks! They person they say rented the truck in Philly and they have the name of him out now and his pictures and although they aren't saying he's the shooter he's also a short and stocky.

I hope @Shandon Par has an alibi

There is no evidence to suggest the shooter suffered a self-inflicted injury

Read on Twitter that he contacted the police himself to say he was in a McDonalds in Manhattan if they wanted to come and get him.

It's possible there is a McDonald's 100 yards from where he was picked up. Although in New York you're probably never that far from McDonald's

Hes been hailed up already. Seems as though the federal charge of carrying out violence on a mass transit system may lead to him getting life. 

It will probably be a quick trial seeing as he phoned the police on himself it would be remarkable if be pleads not guilty to the crimes he is suspected of.

I hope [mention=11914]Shandon Par[/mention] has an alibi

He was at Napier Unversity feeling folk up.

Admittedly a poor winter but now spring has sprung 3 mass shootings in the last few days show promise. 2 in South Carolina and 1 in Pittsburgh,

Some stats and charts on US "gun culture."

I think what is interesting there is the general (democrat states on the coasts aside) push back against regulation of "assault weapons" in the USA.

Basically, you have the public and legislators stating that its fine to go to Walmart and buy something like this....................

I mean, its a hell of a long way from pretending you "need a gun for hunting" to selling things like this.

50% of US citizens think that the guns laws are fine (or need relaxed).

Graphics in the article you shared clearly tell otherwise. At least this country acted immediately after the Dunblane massacre.

If they and their politicians are happy with the situation, might as well just leave them to it and confirm what everyone else thinks - that many people living in the USA are thick as pigshit.

The US did have their own Dunblane, in the Sandy Hook massacre, that was their time and they fucked big style.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gun_control_after_the_Sandy_Hook_Elementary_School_shooting

NRA - said 'On December 21, 2012, the National Rifle Association's Wayne LaPierre said gun-free school zones attract killers and that another gun ban would not protect Americans. He called on Congress to appropriate funds to hire armed police officers for every American school and announced that the NRA would create the National School Shield Emergency Response Program to help'

It's the Wild West and it will never change. Sad.

To be fair that's only because we didn't have the current PM in office during Dunblane as he didn't think it was proportional to legislate against guns after the attack. 

We have been lucky to have idiots like him every so often where as America has a string of them and are highly paid by the gun lobby to protect their interests.

Nearly two people a day are killed by unintentional discharge. That alone should be reason to take action.

I know it's a big country, but it's quite astounding how many people are killed by guns every day.

53 by homicide. 

66 by suicide.

Yeh and 50 babies die by virtue of their shocking infant mortality rate.

However it all seems fairly insignificant when 10,500 people are born each day.

Although does taint the view they have of themselves as world leaders.
