  1. Yea, it definitely got better with some levels under the belt. I found that my confessor/faith character was OP (flies, pest threads, and blasphemous blade wrecks everything). My hero pure strength build was painful as you got into the end game stuff. I had to be carried through Milena on that guy.
  2. Edit: to head off the obvious retort, he did the math
  3. Uvalde shooter used one door…
  4. Should have added, the pistol was a .22 long revolver. He owned nothing semi auto.
  5. My dad did close to the same # of years in the army as a tanker. Only guns he owned were a pistol, shotgun, and bolt action rifle. One was for walking around the hunting property in case he came across a pig, one was for shooting doves and ducks, one was for shooting deer.
  6. TIL there are people that think social media accounts can be traced to people with any serious accuracy.
  7. My post in video form essentially with some extra good takes thrown in.
  8. Sure, and if you catch someone without those things you can make it hurt. Might be more effective than T&Ps.
  9. Automobiles require training to operate, licensing to validate the training, registration, and insurance. Totally on board with doing the same for guns.
  10. Agreed, but the wife isn’t ready. Her parents are still alive and live 10 minutes away. I’m still probably 5+ years away from pulling the trigger, hence the comment about the housing market.
  11. Should have added, my son graduates UT next year and is already planning doing his grad work overseas, preferably Japan. His roommate is doing his grad work in Germany, neither is planning on coming back.
  12. Ideally sell all my shit and head to Ireland, golden visa there is a million euros I believe. Of course that’s assuming I can sell my shit at a decent price. Knowing my luck the housing bubble will pop while the rest of this shit is burning down around us.
  13. It will inevitably lead to some scared teacher shooting a kid to break up a fist fight, or shooting a kid that looked at him/her menacingly. Then we will need to arm the kids to balance all the teachers having guns.
  14. And we expect Kevin to give a bigger fuck about defending kids than actual police officers who have wilted in a couple of these now.
  15. Narrator: very little could be done. If you have a single armed resource officer in a school, you just make him the first target of your rampage. My sons high school had 2800 kids and I can’t even count how many rooms, entry doors, corridors, etc that even a small army of resource officers would fail to adequately cover. Hardening the target is an absolute smoke screen.
  16. 19 kids and 2 adults aren’t going to be beaten to death with a crowbar in 30 minutes. It’s a hell of a lot harder to hit running kids with a crowbar than it is with bullets. Guns exponentially increases the chances of mass casualty event over a knife attack, especially when there is a running clock on the response. Is there still a risk of death without a gun? Sure, but I’ll take those odds over a guy with a semi auto weapon and multiple magazines of ammo 7 days a week.
  17. Not those pictures, they should have to look at the crime scene pictures. Make people understand the level of violence that was perpetrated on their tiny bodies. Its easy for people to T&P away those smiling photos. Make people face the violence they are brushing aside with platitudes.
  18. Something I thought about today. Did you know you cant carry a personal firearm on a military base? I don't just mean Joe Q. Public, I mean errbody. This isn't a general policy for the logistics clerks on Fort Hood, I mean this extends to our most highly trained Delta operators on bases like Bragg. Even if you live on base in housing or the barracks. You cant even store weapons in your living quarters. For those that aren't tracking, I'm not talking about an AR, I mean pistol, shotgun, etc. You have to register all weapons with the MPs, and then have those weapons stored with your unit armorer if you live on base. To use a shooting range on base, you have to again, register the weapon with the MPs, carry that weapon in locked storage in your trunk, and go to the range, finish your shooting, and then get the fuck back off base (or return it to the armorer for those that live on base). You don't get to drive to burger king and grab a bite with a weapon in your vehicle. I wont even get into all the hoops you have to jump through to access actual military weapons. The most highly trained people we have in the use of weapons aren't trusted to store a pistol in their house, or carry one in their vehicle while on a military installation. Doesn't matter if they are an 18 year old private or a 40 year old highly decorated green beret. I would assume its very similar for police stations wrt to the carrying of firearms in the building. Its beyond odd that our most trained weapon users have stronger gun control policies than the public.
  19. I already posted this is impossible for many reasons. There are ~131,000 K-12 schools in this country. We can’t even fix our fucking bridges that are falling apart, but we will somehow shit enough money to harden that many schools to every potential mass shooting scenario? It’s not remotely feasible.
  20. I still can’t fathom that we choose, CHOOSE, to make our children bear this burden. The party of life chooses to make kids go through active shooter drills, carry bulletproof backpacks, and cower in fear while shooters rampage through what should be a place of learning instead of trying to address the obvious gun access issue. This is inexplicable to my family in Germany. You can’t make this make sense to rational people outside of our dumb fucking gun culture bubble.
  21. I recognize you’re posting sarcasm, but someone will be serious about that. I think it was posted earlier, but the Uvalde PD is already something like 40% of the city’s budget. You could triple it and you still couldn’t cover every soft target. Target hardening is absolutely bullshit deflection.
  22. We don’t let people under 25 rent a fucking car, but you can buy gun(s!) at 18. We limit how much Sudafed you can buy, but not bullets or magazines. And before too long we will probably be tracking women’s pregnancy status and travel, but can’t be bothered to track the purchase of guns. The answer is turbo fucked.
  23. They are counting on the public’s squirrel level attention span to move on to the next shiny object in the news cycle and avoid having to deal with the emotional attachment to the horror. It also gives them to get their messaging synchronized and sprinkle some conspiracy shit into the ether to muddy up the waters enough to make the debate around the tragedy bigger than the actual tragedy.
  24. I agree you won’t reach the fringe, but that’s not the point. You make all the politicians that take the NRAs money think twice, and you gut check every mom that pulls the R lever going forward. Moderates shift around, no argument there, but seeing holes in littles kids faces would definitely make a lot (not all) politicians look a lot harder at their donations and messaging purely as a CYA response. Make dead kids just as much of an albatross for the right as abortions are for the left.
  25. Someone mentioned it earlier, but I think the only way the 2A nuts really come to terms with this is with getting full exposure to the full gory details of events like this. Don’t show the happy photos of these kids. Show the footage from the crime scene. Show whats left of their heads. Run ads with this shit during every football game. We are numb to it because people aren’t exposed to the reality of what’s happening. It’s easy to say T&Ps to the smiling family photos of these kids. The only way you can sever the NRA’s hold on politicians is by making their money Chernobyl level untouchable.
