Now let’s see how quickly gun regulation gets pushed through…
Punishment will be a fine, and if you don't pay the fine, you go to prison.
It will be known as the "Only Rich Kids Get To Be Mass Shooters Act of 2025"
That would backfire so horribly when explosives become the weapon of choice. It'll be Oklahoma City for every shitty company.
Edit: Had the wrong damn city
You weren't around for the preceding "going postal" era..,
Fun fact: my old boss was on the team who wrote the code for the time clock that was so granular and cruel that it drove the first dood to go haywire and shooty.
Learning it was a punch clock and micro-management behind it, you're not surprised a bit.
This whole thing is great but jump to 1:11 for the reference
More Oklahoma City if you're talking explosives.
Shit you're right, I got my american tragedies mixed up!
There are so many to choose from.
Funny enough, it took them until 2011 to finally have any real regulation on ammonium nitrate!
And the rockets' red glare, the bombs bursting in air...
Brought plainly to light
Rancid fetish laid bare
Tap for spoiler
I've always found it a bit odd that it's the only national anthem venerating explosives. Reap what you sow I guess.Speaking of that "anthem"...
lol if only. We're just going to see more fences around neighborhoods, more police in the "nice" parts of town, more general segregation between the upper and middle class, and if the CEOs are actually scared they'll just spend all their time in other countries that are more safe.
