Tech leaders join gun control push after YouTube shooting

Message added by Crunchy Dragon

Keep this civil and non-political.

Unsurprising as it is, thought I'd just leave this here:

Quote

Several Silicon Valley leaders called for increased gun control on Tuesday afternoon after a woman at the headquarters of YouTube shot and wounded  three people before taking her own life.

As I said, very unsurprising stuff. It's no secret that gun control at the moment is lax and quite frankly it's a very touchy subject upon many. Maybe the influence of Silicon Valley can turn this around, make gun control a less touchy subject  and more tight like the UK's gun control laws, with mental health checks, criminal record checks and annual checks to ensure your weapon is safely stored. 

To back this up:

Quote

Tech companies have largely avoided the topic of gun control in the United States, but they have previously pushed for progressive stances on other hot-topic issues, ranging from climate change to same-sex marriage and comprehensive immigration reform.

Tech companies are basically trying to help end all of the crap that makes the world well... crap I suppose. Then again, I suppose that as a result of the big tech companies' uprising against these serious global issues, it shouldn't come as a surprise that almost immediately this happened:

Quote

At least three major chief executives took up gun control after the shooting.

What's your opinions on all this folks? Leave your opinions down in the comments below!

May our thoughts go out to those who were injured and their families.

Never took into account the death of the scumbag. Not personally anyway.

If I were a particular unhinged radio host I would probably say “it’s all a conspiracy” 

 

But a normal person would know that once something affects you, you tend to care about it a lot more.

Impossible for it to be a conspiracy anyway. There were witnesses, people physically in the building and probably CCTV footage too.

'Truckload's Of Evidence To The Contrary' has never REALLY stopped conspiracy theorists.  There are literally people in the United States who had to face criminal charges and restraining orders after refusing to stop harassing the parents of children murdered at Sandy Hook, accusing them of being 'Crisis Actors' who's dead children never existed in the first place.

She went missing when I was 5. That's why you haven't heard of it, it was 11 years ago. Cops are still out there trying to find her. Conspiracy theorists keep saying that her parents killed her or some shit.

Yep, more laws will work.

 

Because the excessively strict laws currently in place that affect SV aren't enough.

Come Bloody Angel

Break off your chains

And look what I've found in the dirt.

 

Pale battered body

Seems she was struggling

Something is wrong with this world.

 

Fierce Bloody Angel

The blood is on your hands

Why did you come to this world?

 

Everybody turns to dust.

Here's a non-account-walled article on it: https://www.dailydot.com/debug/tech-leaders-gun-control-youtube-shooting/

 

From all the tweets tied in, I see none pushing for gun control, at least not directly. Dara Khosrowshahi (Uber) was the only one that said anything about guns, and that was only "#EndGunViolence".

 

I'm not sure if your article has some others though (since it's behind an account wall and I don't want to make an account on there).

That's an ugly, ugly case, even before the UK Tabloids went nuts over it.

 

As for the topic, and who exactly is going to enforce the removal of guns from people that shouldn't have them? The local sheriff's office? Like the ones that respond to a person calling in to ask for help because they might shoot someone, then ignores the issue completely because it'd look bad on some government stats? 

 

This road never ends because huge chunks of the debate can't accept the "Who watches the watchmen?" problem makes all of their desires mute.

Thanks, I'll add that to the sources in the original post for people to see.

That's because police in the UK do their jobs, mostly, and because the population is small enough and condensed enough for fast response times.

'Truckload's Of Evidence To The Contrary' has never REALLY stopped conspiracy theorists.  There are literally people in the United States who had to face criminal charges and restraining orders after refusing to stop harassing the parents of children murdered at Sandy Hook, accusing them of being 'Crisis Actors' who's dead children never existed in the first place.

...

That moment where being crazy to get away from the crazies makes sense.

Story time:

I have some family in the states, more specifically Texas. One of my aunts married an American (Latin origin but born and raised in Texas) and sadly he passed away a few weeks ago.

My dad went over there to help my aunt move from Tyler, TX. to be with the rest of the family on McAllen, TX since she doesn't wants to be by herself up there now plus I'd be nice she has company and all.

 

Long story short my dad was packing the stuff to move and sell and he was quite shocked at the amount of Firearms my late uncle owned. We're talking multiple high powered rifles including an M14, several shotguns and a backpack filled with hand guns includying several .50 cals and not to mention what he described as enough ammunition to use them all simultaneously for days.

I always thought this was mostly a stereotype and not really indicative of your average rural American men to have a small arsenal, a chopper bike, etc. Just stored away but well someone in my immediate family turned out to have quite the arsenal. Of course he's what you'd call a responsible gun owner: Had his own restaurant, paid all his taxes, happily married until he unfortunately died of a heart attack.

But that still means that all of those guns that my aunt of course wants nothing to do with will be sold....private owner to private owner so no regulations, no background checks, etc.

Is it a problem that I say that shouldn't be so? It seems to be seeing how so many respond to even the slightest attempt to introduce gun control.
