I guess there was a lot of pride and honor to be found in the sticky white flour pastry's coating of colored icing.
Different worlds I guess. I own a gun, but I would never think to bring it to most social gatherings.I have several family members who pretty much always carry a gun. So yeah, at my wedding, my side of the aisle was almost certainly packing. FWIW, the worst incidents at toddler birthday parties are limited to things like toddlers having tantrums and almost always resolved without gunfire.

The benefits of allowing the masses to have limited access to firearms outweigh the negatives of it.Sure and as I said I'm not saying incidents like these justify gun control. But you can't pretend allowing people access to firearms won't result in something like this. Remove the firearms from this situation and things would've turned out very differently.
Guess you've never been to South Texas. AKA little Mexico. I grew up there. Whites are becoming a minority in the area.Texas shooting? I would have guessed white.
Lol. As you're one of those I consider to be in the careful use of language club I got a chuckle out of "most social gatherings". Other than farm parties and camping I can't think of a social gatherings around here where people bring their firearms. And even that would appear strange and maybe disturbing to most Euros. Sometimes I forget how different things can be just a few hours south of here, nevermind globally.I also own a gun and do not bring it to most social gatherings. What with the increasing prevalence of concealed carry across the US in the past decade or two, I wonder if it isn't different worlds. It's quite possible people are carrying at the same social gatherings you attend without your knowledge.
Why were guns present in the first place? It was a birthday party at a private residence. Do people really carry their pistols around everywhere regardless of the setting?
Might just need more details, but it's weird as hell to me that somebody would have a gun on his person in that scenario.
People like to mock the idea of toxic masculinity, but the idea that insults and other damage to one’s honor must be met with violence fits right in.Well, when you have a kid at 17 and don't teach them how to deal with conflict, they may grow up to be a piece of shit that shoots up a bday party.
That sucks. I tend to support gun rights but there's no doubt that stuff like this is the collateral damage resulting from that. Not saying this incident justifies gun control necessarily, just that when you support gun ownership in general that means dumb fucks like these guys get to have them too.

I’m talking about the psychology behind it. I’ve seen plenty of people get in trouble because they felt the need to be ‘manly’ in a situation.Come on. It's one incident in a Country of over 300 million.
Shitty stuff is going to happen.

Freedom demands an armed populace. Marxist utopian atheist elites slaughtered untold millions in under one century turning whole nations into slave states. EVERY communist authoritarian society was enforced with absolute gun control disarmament of the people.
And before you say it could never happen in America realize that authoritarian secular leftists have completely gained control in American culture.
Secular atheists tend to flock to collectivist utopian thought (Marxism) instead of free market capitalism and individualism.
Marxists in power have proven time and time again to rule with absolute Orwellian totalitarianism. People in power are still flawed human beings and will resort to violence to achieve lofty utopian goals.
A civilian with a gun can cause death and destruction to a limited degree.
People with power in charge of the state can cause unlimited amounts of death and destruction.
Understand these things..

I won't fret over that. The psychology of men engaging in violent behavior because they feel offended. You can call it what you want.What psychology are you talking about?
Please don't say "toxic masculinity"
I'll lose all respect for you.

Jesus Christ Texas.
Why did they have to pull guns out? That would ruin my birthday.
Before people race bait they were Hispanic and not blacks.
Texas shooting? I would have guessed white.
I am shocked at how they still believe almost anyone should just be able to get one.
