This was before twitter, I can imagine them all sitting around the crime desk on their phones constantly searching for gory keywords now.

Absolutely true!

I used to have a big satellite dish and receiver and back in the 90's you could generally tune in the transmissions from the reporting news trucks and see everything that went on that was not broadcast to the general viewing public. Somewhere I have a tape I rolled when Columbine happened. There were reporters nearly getting into fistfights because they wanted their shot to be closest to the growing mound of memorial flowers. It was disgusting.

Nothing's going to change because people need guns to defend themselves in rural areas from coyotes and hogs and the like, but this means that people also think that they need a rail gun to protect their homes. That, combined with severely lacking mental health services, coping behaviors, social pariah leanings towards those who seek assistance and the world generally sucking means poo poo ain't gonna change even if someone literally vomits guns on babies live on tv.

Yeah I lived in small town Oregon. There are places in the east where if you are running any kind of business you need a gun, no exceptions. It can be literally a hundred miles to the nearest police station. I've probably seen three cops or state troopers east of Bend in my entire life. There's not much dangerous wildlife out there however. A gun will scare off a bunch of coyotes or a snake, but so will a rock or a thrown stick since they are skittish as gently caress. But even then I don't really see a reason why we let people buy guns that aren't long arms. I've done a fair amount of trick shooting, and I own ~10-15 grand of handguns but even then I'd much prefer if we had a system where I had to register all them with a gun club like in the UK or if I had to keep them in a safe at the range like in some Euro states.

that system ain't gonna work because the average range is in the middle of loving nowhere and when you fill it with things someone really wants to steal, that poo poo is going to get stolen and the cops won't respond in time

it's why that sort of centralized storage is little more than busywork for a whole bunch of feel-good security theater

The /r9k/ community is most well-known for its greentext stories that antagonize social norms and celebrate singledom.The board is famous for its stories of social awkwardness and nostalgia of the simpler times, as well as discussion of abnormal social behaviour. It is heavily used by NEETs[4] (Not in Education, Employment, or Training) who regret their life decisions and hold anger and disdain over males with active social and sexual lifes.
