No you're not. I am pro second amendment but we need more restrictions and way deeper background checks.
By gun nutter I mean those that want guns of all types without restrictions.

Isn't that what the State of Texas is working towards and their end game goal?

I also am 100% in agreement with your first sentence.

Probably. They're going to get what they wished for.
Just like Abbott said when they get rid of all the rapists there won't be rape anymore.

Hate to disagree with the OP but this was completely comprehensible. Coming from the state that just passed laws allowing people to carry without permits or training.
Texans can now openly carry guns in public without a permit or training. Police say the new law makes it harder to do their jobs - CNN

If the Sandy Hook slaughter of 20 six and seven year old's doesn't move Republicans nothing will, except the slaughter of their own families. Remember when Ronald and Nancy Regan became gun control advocates when someone tried to kill ole' Ronnie

not my words but certainly my sentiment:

"Same folks who regularly say it’s better for a poor person to not even be born, and to be aborted instead, now want to claim they care about the death of largely poor children. Not today, you ghouls, you’re not going to stand on top of dead children today or any day."

In the other threads talking about firearms and/or shootings, there is a lot of people who say that it is impossible to safely own and operate a firearm.

If anyone anywhere who isn't calling for the immediate seizure of 400+ million guns is a "gun nutter" then I guess I am one now and would definitely respond to defend the stance when called out for it.

As a short response to this specific instance, yet again all this is, is a symptom of the collapse of human society - and specifically the US as a relatively "free" society that has been arming up for going on 250 years now. Saying that all guns should be confiscated tomorrow isn't going to help anything, for a myriad of reasons, although it might make someone feel better after saying it.
Honestly sounds like you're just looking for a fight.

The gun is always the most important thing to protect after a shooting.

This is so true. There will be more effort put into saving 2nd amendment rights than will be put into treating the injured, dealing with the survivors, burying the dead, investigating the crime, etc.

This is what they mean about making America great again. More guns and death than there was in the wild west.

As said in the other thread, fuck this country and our inability to give a shit to any degree necessary to do anything about murdered kids.
We have all kinds of ability but we can’t tap them because we won’t let anybody tell us what the problem really is. We have to blame guns and gun supporters because the the only way we will let go of the phony rewards to our pathetic egos given by winning at completion can’t be paired even from our cold dead hands. All those dead children is the price we happily pay by blaming guns rather than the SYSTEM.

Any fool knows that the greatness of being a winner is magnified by the pats on the back we give ourselves by how much contempt we can throw in the face of losers and that means never becoming conscious of how we use them for this.

A system built on competition self generates its monsters. We create what we fear in a system built on the carrot and stick. You can have the joys of your carot, but you will have to live with the fact that the badly beaten are coming for you with the stick.

And the rationalization is just so simple compared to real action. Beat more people with the stick. Create more losers. Make more losers out of everybody who owns guns. And why not. Who wants to know that you, yes you and not gun abusers only. killed all those children in Texas because we want to stay asleep.

Holy shit that's some bizarre mental gymnastics.

He took my earlier post that said "no chicken-shit gun nutter has yet to reply" as a challenge.
It's pretty disgusting to read as I have never read anyone here say anything close to "Same folks who regularly say it’s better for a poor person to not even be born, and to be aborted instead"

Complete douchebag.

Nothing is going to be done, and if we as a country really wanted to do something how would be go about it? The cat has been out of the bag for decades. There are just too many guns, and we have too many soft targets. We would have to give up our rights for a chance at some kind of protection fro the government. And, that could lead to an erosion on our rights. The mental health issues in the country are off the radar. Seriously, have you noticed the attitude of many of the people today? Angry. Hateful. Depressed. Its like a plague. We don't have the resources to combat that. Its going to get worse as the economy gets bad. As more people fall into poverty, I expect more of this stuff to take place.

Its a sad day in America, and actions like this school shooting has become normalized, which is the first step to a crumbling immoral society where people have lost hope.
What if all of these problems arise from a sense of entitlement and ego, the loss of phony pride that is there as a substitute for real rely respect?

What if self respect is a natural characteristic of people who have not had it beaten out of them. That would mean there IS a cure for the human race, but it would require real humility that leads to the death of ego, a recognition of the sanctity of life and the joy of being.

Oh, hell no to that. No way I am ever going to feel how the pain again that made me sick in the first place, right…. Better to stay dead than to see iM already dead emotionally.

It’s not like we don’t know how to solve the problem, plenty of other countries have.

We choose not to solve the problem. If people think the routine massacre of children is an acceptable price to pay they should just come out and say it.

You are not disagreeing with me. You are disagreeing with Greg Abbott.

North Carolina Senator and top NRA gun welfare queen Thom Tillis is warning against "knee jerk reactions" by Democrats--seemingly oblivious that Sandy Hook was almost a decade ago and nothing meaningful (outside of Connecticut) has changed.

These events are so frequent there is never a "good time" to talk about them according to the NRA and their boot lickers.

Prediction: Now that we know the shooter is Hispanic Republicans will try to frame this as an ordinary criminal act and blame Biden because crime is up. Remember that the guy who drove hundreds of miles looking for black people to kill in Buffalo was just mentally ill. No terrorism or white supremacy to see.

This guy who shot his own grandmother before killing all those kids shows obvious signs of mental illness but because he isn't white they will frame it as crime up in Biden's America.

Wait for it in the next few days/weeks, likely on right wing media first to generate talking points.

This is how evil and heinous Republicans are.
