Germanwings Plane Crash Was No Accident

hcs_$reboot writes The Germanwings plane crash takes a scary turn. After a couple of days investigation, it appears that the co-pilot requested control of the aircraft about 20 minutes into the flight. The pilot then left the cockpit, leaving the co-pilot in full control of the plane. Then, the co-pilot manually and "intentionally" set the plane on the descent that drove it into the mountainside in the southern French Alps. Co-pilot Andreas Lubitz, a 28-year-old German national, could be heard breathing throughout the plane's descent and was alive at the point of impact, according to the prosecutor.

crazy shooters are everywhere, but they are few rarer in countries that do the bare minimum to keep guns out of the hands of nutbags. the usa seems to think handing out guns is completely ok. and so we have much more crazy shooters and homicides than our social and economic peers

i really don't understand how someone can say they are for *responsible* gun use but have no problem with laws that promote *irresponsible* gun use. the second amendment even says a "well-regulated" militia (meaning "well-trained"). so train the fuckers. before they get a gun, like we do with cars. that's not "evil gun grabber denying guns." that's simply insisting on responsible gun use. as written in the fucking second amendment!: "a well-regulated militia". well-regulated = well-trained. the founding fathers, when writing the second amendment, were aware of the need for *responsible* gun use, they use the fucking language. and somehow the second amendment means "hand out guns to any mouth breathing moron who asks for one" today. it doesn't. disgusting. a gun is dangerous and requires responsible training. or otherwise you have sky high homicide rates. which we have. how can anyone defend this pathetic status quo in the usa? how can someone who is a responsible gun owner defend this status quo?

you would think gun owners would know more than anyone the need for responsible training first
