The US is falling behind in the Gun Rights Category

This is bad. Gun Loving Pakistan is showing  that they value freedom, especially gun rights, far more than the US.
The similarity might not be intentional, but its far too obvious.

Pakistan's gun culture has been mentioned before--and they love their guns as much, if not more, than people in the US.  Pakistan even has an equivalent of the Second Amendment as gun loons envision it in their Constitution!

Well, they weren't gonna be outdone in the mass shooting department by the US of A.

No way.

The Pakistanis, especially the Taliban, had to show that they were freedom loving people like their US counterparts with a massive school shooting.

At least 126 people, most of them children, have been killed in a Taliban assault on an army-run

school in the Pakistani city of Peshawar.


Peshawar--sound familiar?  Yeah, it's the home of the Darra Gun Bazaar!  It's Pakistani Gun Loon Central!

Let's toss in that the School was run by the Army. 

I don't give a shit what you clowns think, but there were probably more "good guys with guns" on the spot than you could count.

I also doubt there will be much of a movement to try and ban guns in this part of the world as well.

But, this definitely changes the dialogue.

The Taliban know the real meaning of FREEDOM!
Live with it!

The internal flaw of the gun conspiracy theorists

Or as David Aaronovitch's pointed out about Alex Jones: if he knows all this top secret truth, and is still alive, does that mean that it's all bollocks, or is Jones part of the conspiracy?


"You are the worst person I've ever interviewed...We have an idiot on the programme today,"

Anyway, like the idiot above, your premise contains an internal flaw:
"Mass shootings, in particular, are staged by the government to enable the swift enactment of draconian gun laws."
The US sees far more mass shootings, and gun violence in general, than any other DEVELOPED nation, yet gun laws have gotten weaker for the most part if anything.  Sure, there have been some gains in some states, but nothing like what happened in Australia, which is what you assert should have happened.  In fact, the laws enacted in Australia would be mild according to what you claim.

Instead, what we see is reality denial, with above idiot being one of the worst offenders.

I'll offer a counterquestion to your statement:  why should we give a fuck about your rights if you don't care about others?

You have given up your place at the table when you can walk up to a victim's family member and assert that their pain is somehow "false" or "fake".

You are the person who is unreal.

The Mediæval Bæbes: Coventry Carol

A carol where a mother (teacher) sings to a small child to be quiet so as not to be killed seems particularly appropriate in a society where school lock down drills have become common.



Lully, lullay, Thou little tiny Child,
Bye, bye, lully, lullay.
Lullay, thou little tiny Child,
Bye, bye, lully, lullay.
O sisters too, how may we do,
For to preserve this day
This poor youngling for whom we do sing
Bye, bye, lully, lullay.
Herod, the king, in his raging,
Charged he hath this day
His men of might, in his owne sight,
All young children to slay.

In Brooklyn Gun Cases, Suspicion Turns to the Police

The tip comes from a confidential informer: Someone has a gun. Ten or more minutes later, police officers find a man matching the informer’s detailed description at the reported location. A gun is discovered; an arrest is made. 

That narrative describes how Jeffrey Herring was arrested last year by police officers in the 67th Precinct in East Flatbush, Brooklyn. It also describes the arrests of at least two other men, Eugene Moore and John Hooper, by some of the same officers. The suspects said the guns were planted by the police. 

There were other similarities: Each gun was found in a plastic bag or a handkerchief, with no traces of the suspect’s fingerprints. Prosecutors and the police did not mention a confidential informer until months after the arrests. None of the informers have come forward, even when defense lawyers and judges have requested they appear in court. 

Taken individually, the cases seem to be routine examples of differences between the police account of an arrest and that of the person arrested. But taken together, the cases — along with other gun arrests made in the precinct by these officers — suggest a pattern of questionable police conduct and tactics.
