Columbine kicked off an epidemic of school shootings because of the attention it got. Some people need a focus for their misery and I am not ashamed to say that I would rather see heartless corporate executives fear for their safety instead of school children gunned down as they hide in a closet. Just putting that out there.

In this regard, all the media attention might be a good thing. I haven’t seen this much coverage since that runaway bride horse shit 15 years ago.

Workplace shootings are nothing new. Where do you think the term Going Postal comes from?

Watch the Postal movie for a real wtf humor/horror experience. I enjoyed it, but it’s a sensitivity PR nightmare.

It really would be a strange kind of uniquely American poetry if our school shooting problem inverted itself into a megacorp CEO shooting solution.

If a few more CEOs gets off’d, they’ll ram gun control legislation through congress faster than Trump can wolf down a Big Mac.

I think they said that Luigi had a ghost gun, partially 3D printed? Of course he didn’t make the bullets so maybe that’ll matter.

Given that the guy used a (partially) 3D-printed gun, I just can’t fucking wait to see how the overbroad knee-jerk restrictions are going to impact the hobbyist maker space.

Or they just make it easier for CEOs to get and carry guns.

A papercut that draws blue blood is a bigger issue to these freaks than a river of poor corpses.

Historically it’s been threats to the owner / controller class that have produced serious gun control legislation in the US, so you are probably right! But if you mean actual confiscation a la Australia, pretty sure that’s off the table here. Sincerely think it’d spark a war no matter who sincerely attempts it or why.

The cat is out of the bag, no? 3d printing guns is a bit of a Pandoras box in regards to gun control. Especially in America where it has been legal for so long

Hello lonely young men with something to prove, have you seen how much positive attention Luigi got

Luigi got attention for being arrested, the police are the ones alleging that he was the one who shot the CEO.

I’ve got very few long term prospects, very little empathy for the undeserving wealthy, and a whole lot of spare time.

Ladies, look out 😎

So what you’re saying is if the collective can set Luigi free then you might be okay with the deal?

Only in America. Where there’s guns, there’s accidental death.

I say ban the guns so the vigilantes need to use cricket bats. Sell the surveillance tapes for PPV.

Hey, those tapes are community property. Stop trying to commercialize justice.

School shootings are very intentional, not accidental.

Banning guns isn’t going to make 500 million firearms disappear, it’ll just take them out of the hands of law-abiding citizens.
