Although this thread does not function under the same strict guidelines as the USPMT, it is still a general practice on TL to provide a source with an explanation on why it is relevant and what purpose it adds to the discussion. Failure to do so will result in a mod action. |

Wtf is food service managers and why are they half as likely to be killed doing a job where you wear a gun?
In fact the most disturbing thing is that retail sales workers / cashiers are "only" about 40% as likely to be murdered as a job where you might infact be expected to apprehend armed criminals.
Now that would be stressful.
If you let everyone have guns, the number of situations that can get you killed increases exponentially.

Did you even read the original post he quoted? I'm going to need to see some proof you read the exact contention I made, and why you think it fits into your description.

The South Dakota legislature has passed a bill allowing residents to carry concealed handguns without a permit, sending the measure to Gov. Kristi Noem (R) for a signature.
The state House passed the Senate legislation in a 47-23 vote on Tuesday to allow for the so-called constitutional carry, The Argus Leader reported.
Noem has vocalized support for the measure before but said she will consider the language in the bill before signing it into law.
"We are pleased to see constitutional carry pass the state Senate and House of Representatives. Hopefully Gov. Noem will see the benefit in providing law-abiding South Dakotans with the ability to better defend themselves and their families," a spokesperson for the National Rifle Association said in a statement.
The Hill
South Dakota will have constitutional carry provisions not too long from now. I think the further restriction of permitless carry to South Dakota residents of the state is fair and should be passed as well. It’s good to remember that some state politics continues to advance constitutional protections on owning and carrying guns.

I can't get over how weird everything about your post is. This is coming again from someone who actually shoots guns.
The one thing gun owners would actually care about in there you didn't mention?
I'll give you a hint:
According to a poll from the nonprofit gun safety group Everytown for Gun Safety released Tuesday., the vast majority of South Dakotans surveyed, 84 percent, said they support the state's existing concealed carry permit requirement.

Online radicalization in echo chambers of hate. It’s a sign of the times. In his manifesto he specified that he chose to use guns, rather than a bomb, in order to try to start a race war in the US because 2nd amendment something something. Probably best not to dignify the idiocy with an argument about guns, even if his plan was dumb.

Man, Christchurch can not get a break  After 2 devastating earthquakes and now this there's no wonder people are leaving the place in droves.

So he decided to shoot up a town in New Zealand because of the US 2nd amendment..? Yeah this guy seems like a healthy human being.

They can be healthier than you think! There was a huge debate on ABB's mental health during his trial, and he was considered sane in the end.

I'm not one for politics on TL usually, but this video has some good points visa vi white supremacist terror,
They are thoughtful words from a news anchor and a Muslim about how far right ideas have been mainstreamed. The music in the background is a bit sappy, but his message of unity which it ends on is worth it.
On another note,
I'm not from NZ so I can't really say how advanced the debate around gun control is there, but I don't think there are any calls currently for more legislation.
- A post script -
At the intersection of: how did this terrorist get access to so many firearms and how this person become a terrorist, the later seems to be stressed more.
Its a bit of a moot point though because you can tackle them both at the same time. The bigger complex issue is the mainsteaming of white nationalist ideals. An Australian senator blamed Muslims themselves for being murdered. When it gets to that point, white supremacy isn't being mainstreamed any more, it is mainstream!
Finally, in a world seemingly out of control, I am going to try and wrest some back. Look out for your Muslim friends and community.

People have ignored and will ignore Youtube for way longer than they should.
All of these dudes are radicalized on Youtube, by the Ben Shapiros, the Lauren Southerns, the Stefan Molyneux. Lauren Southern used this day to remind everyone that she is the worst sort of garbage and say that when the left attacks her after Christchurch, it's exactly the same as when people attack all muslims after a muslim terrorist attack, and it's therefore a bad thing. It's unbelievable how bad these people are, like, I almost legitimately can't believe it.

49 dead...and 50 more in the hospital...horrible.
Talk about mainstream, this guy is an Australian senator...who blames it on the muslims for existing. He's denounced by pretty much everyone but still he's a fucking senator.

Standing in the shower this morning, for some reason I was thinking to myself that its nice that we haven't heard about any mass shootings for a while, and maybe people are starting to calm down.
Fuck me.

Don't talk with him. He honestly believes that the right of a shooter in a mass shooting to have ease of access to the guns he used in a mass shooting is greater than the right of people shot in a mass shooting to not be shot. There's no conversation to be had with that opinion.

The post you just quoted is a month and a half old, and you're making a ridiculous assumption about his beliefs on the matter. Why did you even post here?

I woke up at 4 am, checked cricinfo.com and saw a headline for the shooting. I go back to sleep, wake up a few hours later and see it being posted about by everyone. All I could think was "wait this is newsworthy"? "People are shocked by this, surprised that it happened"? Radicalization isnt happening on the fringes, the instigators are as mainstream as they come. When so many government members around the world spew hate and bigotry, what else can be expected of our citizens? Muslims, don't take this as an opportunity to invite pity, recognize what is happening and what we are doing wrong and fix it.
