Sadly, yet again, we have had yet another massacre resulting in 17th children being killed and another 15 wounded. The shooter was 19. He bought an ar 15 semi auto rifle, legally, and walked in to the high school he was expelled from and killed 17 kids. Awful.

I think we all know this and get our news elsewhere so we don't really need to post about it here in a forum for guitar players as it will most probably end up being another political argument thread which I thought we were going to abandon here. Thanks.
Maybe you meant to post this on your Facebook page?

We've all had plenty of access to all the news and analysis for this. I appreciate you wanting to share it but I think we all know by now, based on past experience, that GMC is not an appropriate place for a post like this.

Just sharing it. Not making political statements. Mostly for GMCers in europe who don't get our news feed. Just a simple share of yet another one of these awful incidents. Don't read to much into it. I have not seen your name recently in the forum, glad to see you back smile.gif

Just sharing a news clip.I'm curious to know if this kind of news makes it way to europe actually. Anyone on in Europe been seeing this on the news where you live? or on your social media? Please do refrain from making any political type responses if at alll possible smile.gif That usually goes bad.

In my experience, Europe gets our news as quickly as we do and stuff that happens in the middle of the night here, they read it before we do.

In answer to your question, politicians are bribed to keep the assault weapons on the street, here is a list of of who gets the most money, every single one of them a Republican, the party of Trump. But they all offer their prayers to the dead kids, very touching.

https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2017/10...g-senators.html

Here is a report on raffle of an AR-15 by 3rd graders in Red State Missouri to raise some money for their baseball team. Republican's running for congress in both Missouri and Red State Kansas are also raffling assault weapons to support their campaigns.

Yes....This is what we basically agreed to almost unanimously with those who were involved in the past but somehow this thread has been allowed to continue even after it was requested by Kris that these types of discussions are disallowed. But if they are to be posted, they must be cleared through him first before posting.
In my view Todd knew exactly where a post of this nature would lead when he posted it and should stop playing dumb about it by claiming he was just sharing news that he knows fully well was received by the vast majority of the world and would lead to a highly charged political arguement like the ones we have already been through in the past.

So what's the deal Kris? Was this thread cleared through you and are you allowing it to continue or what?

We got the news here but it wasn't headline. Tragic and sad but not surprise/shocking for us living on the other side of the world.

These violences started and continued through both parties presidencies as far as I remember, I see it as part of USA's personality more than political debate.

If this thread steps out of line it will be shut down. Simple as that. I am sad that the news didn't reach greece but they are having their own troubles so I guess it makes sense that our problems would be secondary. I didn't know our news reached the UK so quickly and france as well it seems. We don't get tons of International news here in the states in my experience unless we watch BBC America news which is different than standard u.s. news broadcasts as anyone whose seen both knows.

Surely we can't resolve political differences in a guitar forum so let's just not approach them. Doing so is fruitless and none of us much want to get stuck in and endless loop.

I do hope that we can share things in an open way without having it devolve in to a political rant. I have been extra careful to avoid political discussion in this thread and in general. I did want to share this event as our membership is global. I understand now that our news is the worlds news for the most part. Folks outside the states will get the news of these things probably before we get it ourselves.

Now it seems clear we all do see the same news as I was about to share this very same post. Evidently a man simply refused to stop farting and the plane
was forced to land in Austria and police with dogs came on and pulled the man off the flight. The article mentioned that humans far 1.7 times per hour
and it's a 7.5 hour flight in this case. That's a lot of wind on one plane. The article is hilarious btw and worth a read. Good pull!

I am indeed closing this one - it quickly went into political territory.

My thoughts go these kids and their families.
