Thread: Interesting clip on gun/public safety

Had a couple of young kids (14 and 8) camping, they saw my rifle and were calling it a sniper rifle, they play games on their phone killing people, I think that is why any nutter with a chip on their shoulder thinks is o k to shoot people, the police need to licence people to play these computer games, stop the immature and mentally challenged, see what the general population thinks about that.

Ive played those games a little bit.
Not much though...
And they do have age restrictions, but enforcing that is a joke.

I agree in part.

Yeah nah. Mass shootings started way before computer games existed. There are lots of countries where shooting is not a common method of solving ones grievances, the shootings that occur in the USA are complex... but mostly boil down to social issues + poverty + lack of mental health care + easy availability of handguns. And it's worth noting in the USA you are TWO HUNDRED times as likely to be shot by a handgun than by a long rifle.
