Sikh community calls for gun reforms

[calamity]

Another ally joins the gun control movement. And, since they are brown-skinned peoples wearing turbans, I expect them to receive much hate from the racist element within the pro-gun crowd.

At a vigil attended by more than 200 at an Indianapolis park Saturday evening, Aasees Kaur, who represented the Sikh Coalition, spoke out alongside the city's mayor and other elected officials to demand action that would prevent such attacks from happening again.

"We must support one another, not just in grief, but in calling our policymakers and elected officials to make meaningful change," Kaur said. "The time to act is not later, but now. We are far too many tragedies, too late, in doing so."

Indianapolis Sikh community calls for gun reforms after FedEx shooting

Members of Indianapolis’ tight-knit Sikh community joined with city officials to call for gun reforms Saturday as they mourned the deaths of four Sikhs who were among the eight people killed in a mass shooting at a FedEx warehouse.

"While we don’t yet know the motive of the shooter, he targeted a facility known to be heavily populated by Sikh employees," Kaur said.

Likely not a coincidence.

on the flip side if the entire Sikh community decided to arm itself and demonstrate in the streets can you imagine how fast they would be shitting ignorant bricks about the rise of terrorism in America

They'd ban open carry just as fast as they did when the Panthers did it in the 60's.

Perhaps if the people in the FedEx facility were armed then there wouldn't have been as many people murdered. It amuses me how anti-2nd amendment trash want to use a situation were people were forced to be disarmed end up being prey to some mass murderer as an excuse to disarm other Americans.

there is virtually no police force in the country that wishes everyone was shooting at each other when they pull up

Police can take minutes to arrive and longer to stop whats going on all while the mass murderer is having a field day of shooting defenseless victims.

That's stupid. Know why? Because the shooter was a lawful gun owner. So, your solution to fill the place up with more good guys with guns who can go bad is foolish.

Indianapolis FedEx shooter bought two weapons used in killings legally last year despite FBI concerns | CNN

The 19-year-old who killed eight people at a FedEx facility in Indianapolis late Thursday night purchased the two assault rifles used in the attack legally months after being investigated by the FBI due to his potential for violence, according to the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department.

in a movie starring Bruce Willis, maybe yes. A dude could take out would be assailants. In reality, people are liable to mistakes even with good intentions.

the best thing to do is either have security foil the plot itself, or run and hide. Don’t try and be a hero. That’s for the movies

So your solution is to disarm the lawful gun owners so that thye can be victims of the nutjobs and other criminals?

The reality is it can actually take minutes for the police to show up and longer to stop whats going on all while the mass murderer is going around shooting defenseless people to death. You might be fine trying to hide from a former co-worker who probably knows where all the hiding spots since he or she takes the same "what to do during a mass shooting" classes that you did. You might be fine hoping that the security guard can do something other than call 911(Fed-Ex ground does not allow its package handlers/loaders to have cellphones on them while at work). However many people would rather have the chance to defend themselves if the need arises. I am sure if someone stormed Bruce Willis's mansion and his guards were nowhere to be found then he would want a gun to defend himself and others.

We're seeing a lot of "lawful" gun owners shoot masses of people. Are you paying attention?

The bigger risk is the "good guy" with the gun goes bad when someone pisses him off, as we see in the case discussed above and in the Kenosha shooting last night.

I was unaware but not surprised at the Kenosha incident. will have to look into it a bit more. I can’t wait to hear how indifferent gun nuts are to more bloodshed

Likely not a coincidence.

All the bigots are leftist filth, everyone knows that. Leftists are the only ones who practice identity politics, the politics of bigotry.

I fail to see how someone's religious belief has anything to do with my constitutionally protected right to keep and bear arms. There are many pacifist Hindu and Buddhist sects, just like there are the Christian Quaker pacifists.

Religious belief has no bearing on whether not someone has the right to keep and bear arms.

They might be. Americans can follow any religious belief they want. Religious belief is still irrelevant when it concerns my constitutionally protected rights that cannot be infringed upon.

Every "right" has limits. Look into it.

That limit is when it is used to cause harm. As the adage goes, "your rights end at the tip of my nose." That is why we have liable and slander laws, and laws against murder and assault with a deadly weapon. Individual rights cannot be used to cause harm to another, either physically or financially. That is the ONLY limit. Government is prohibited from infringing on ANY constitutionally protected right, not just the Second Amendment, but all of them.

Not everyone within the borders of the US is a US citizen. Some are permanent residents, others are on legal VISAs or visiting tourists, and others are here illegally. How or why they are within the borders of the US does not make any difference. Once they are within the borders of the US they have the exact same constitutionally protected right to keep and bear arms, just as any US citizen.

The Second Amendment says "the right of the people to keep and bear arms." It does not say "the right of only US citizens to keep and bear arms."

Yep, and armed assholes shooting up public spaces infringes on the rights of others to enjoy them. It's time to limit this "bear arms" thing.

What makes you think any of those people are not US citizens?

Would you use the same language if they didn't look the way they do?

Are you questioning the 19 year old volleyball player's citizenship?

Still not able to comprehend "shall not be infringed" I see. Or is it your inability to comprehend that "limit" and "restrict" are synonymous with "infringe?"
