    Yeah, except the Czech Republic will probably take meaningful steps to ensure it doesn’t happen again

      Considering they have a semi-2a already, doubt they will. And I hope they don’t and get further pro-2a…russia is near.

          It’s “murican” for the right to bear arms. Namely referring to the Second Amendment of the US Constitution.

          Somebody probably has shot it knowing this country.

            Ah yes, that really old law. We have one in the UK like that, it says something like you can shoot a Scotsman in York on sight, but only with a bow and arrow or after midnight or something

            But it’s not enforced because it’s an old law and, well, WE’RE NOT FUCKING STUPID 😂

              Since it’s still on the books, could that be used as a legal defense? (Just curious, I’m neither in the UK nor wish to kill anyone with a bow and arrow after midnight)

                Common law is based on precedent more than written law (code law), so the fact that no scottsman has been killed in over 100 years and used this law as a defence is proof enough that it isn’t valid legislation.

                No, common law is set in precident and there’s no legal precident for it currently.

                  One thing a lot of people are concerned about is the current state of politics, it’s incredibly difficult to get that process going and once we open that can of worms you better believe that billionaire assholes that have already been trying to influence politics will have their favorite atrocious shit put into the constitution.

                  It’s more like “let’s legislate our issues first.” If we have to change the constitution I’m pretty sure we’re going to end up with an amendment that requires all citizens to buy Koch products, abolish the EPA and make those kinds of departments unconstitutional, or some other absurd nonsense.

          Second amendment of the US constitution. It’s text is:

          A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.

          And what that means is up to “interpretation” and some think it means that everyone with no restrictions what so ever should be able to buy guns on a moments notice. Its the main reason why we have this problem state side.

    His online diary or manifesto whatever was already posted on 4chan, just on like Dec. 10 he was debating if he wanted to be a serial killer that kills one at a time or mass shooter. Long story short, he was going to do some fucked up shit no matter what.

        Easy answer. Used too much. An especially weak argument when the one finding it “funny” is never from the area it’s happening in, and thus doesn’t actually have any emotional connection they’re needing to cope with.

        You know there are still a couple recordings floating around from people who had tried to call family and/or 911 prior to dying in 9/11? I’ve found anyone who listens to those seems to stop making the 9/11 jokes. Strikes me odd. Must have made it real.

          I mean, I may not have any connection to Prague, but as an American citizen who has been shot at, I think I have enough of an emotional connection to gun violence. I still chuckled.
