Which is awful. But there are people on Reddit currently making it seem like this is a bigger deal than the actual event its self.

Well, they can't bring 50 dead people back to life or turn back time and stop the guy from shooting them. But they probably figure if they make enough of a stink they can at least get something done about Reddit, on Reddit. So the focus on that issue is not that surprising, imo.

That's not totally unfair, but really it's subs like the_donald making the biggest stink. And while I agree with them, that this is censorship of the worst kind, I disagree with their goals for making a stink about it.

Are gay and lesbian bars separate or can they be in the same bar?

Do you have to be gay to work in a gay bar?

At the end of the day guns are designed for one purpose, and then you get offshoots.

Guns are designed to kill, that's it period and end of story. The fact that people use them for sport and target practice to me is completely irrelevant, that's not their primary design. In terms of target shooting, its realistically there to make you a better killer if you are so inclined and have a gun.

We have bans and should have bans on things that have a primary design based around lethality, its just that easy, and guns are the most lethal weapon out there. They can fire a projectile at speeds that allow you to be hit and be dead before you would even hear the sound of it firing.

And gun manufacturers spend their day designing guns, not to be better recreational toys, but to be better at killing. More bullets faster, more accurate, quicker to reload and quicker to put bullets accurately on target.

So why in the blue f%%k are these available for sale?

We're putting guns in the hands of 13 year old kids who roam the streets with gangs killing each other.

We're putting guns into the hands of angry and sick and demented individuals without a sober thought about it, and yes I'm Canadian, but we're seeing gun violence in Canada too.

What the hell are we doing?

We. we the voting public and the citizens that are supposed to have a say in the laws that rule the land.

Chances are some person no matter how much he trains and takes courses, will one night wake up to a sound in his house and ventilate his 5 year old kid who made the mistake of taking a piss.

Some fat idiot in walmart bought cammo and a suspicious nature, no matter how well armed he is with a fully automatic weapon and a laser site is going to stop an armored battalion with air support no matter what country or government sent the soldiers.

And they're talking about arming teachers and security guards in schools and public places, because that's a preventative measure. And it sounds great until you realize that the teacher who's allowed to be armed nearly pisses his pants and panics and ends up putting holes in a half dozen kids.

The whole thing is so fricken stupid, but there's no hope because nobody will go against the lobbies out there who have bought and paid for the political system.

And somebody talked about pressure cookers and box cutters, devices that have been used for terrorist attacks. But the bottom line is a pressure cooker, or box cutter, or SUV are not designed based on killing and leathility. Banning firearms or making them far more difficult to get won't stop the killing. People are animals and a$$holes and our darker nation is violent and stubborn, but it might make the killing more difficult and less effective.

Even as a former soldier who loved nothing better then firing his rifle or pistol, and knew that I might be called upon to use it again a person and accepted it I don't want to see guns in the hands of gangs and criminals and psychos. I think guns are stupid when it comes to home defense, when you hear a noise go the other way. With a gun your tempted to go towards it. Teach your family an escape plan, have cellphones to call 9-11. Whatever.

But its absolutely past time to get these guns out of the streets, its absolutely time to harshly crack down on people that use guns dangerously or with bad intentions. Its time to realize that we don't need these things in the hands of citizens.

Oh and also

F%%K!!!!

Ive heard of straight guys working at gay bars and making a #### ton of money. I guess if 100% of the people you're serving are horny dudes you would probably make good tips.

Some are separate, but they can be together as well and no you don't have to be gay to work there.

Not only do you not need to be gay to work at one (I knew a bouncer who worked at one who was straight), but you don't have to be gay to go to one. You just have to be tolerant.

For the life of me I can't understand why people ever cared who someone else is attracted to, kisses or chooses to spend their life with.

Gay bars have a tonne of girls who frequent them as well. Gay bars aren't just for gay people either and definitely not just for men.
