If this happens to two or three more CEOs over the next couple of months, they’ll change their position on gun control, not change their behaviors that made somebody do this. And “they’re coming for our guns” morons would find a way to not only excuse it, but fully support it, at least at first.
If this happens to multiple CEOs, companies will just implement secret-service style security for the C-suite. Wouldn’t even be a rounding error in CEO compensation.
I mean having to live in a fortress and being afraid to go into a coffee shop without armed guards is no way to live… it wouldn’t be a fun time for those poor, sociopathic bastards. But I guess having those extra digits in their bank accounts makes up for it?
It’s actually pretty easy to get a pistol in New York State as long as you get proper training and register it. Also the NYC pistol ban was struck down a couple years ago.
I’m more worried about a federal gun ban that the Trump administration can use violence like this as a justification.

Say what? Nearly every CEO who is willing to talk about firearms is already pushing for more Gun Control with both their words and their money. The obvious exceptions are of course Firearm CEOs and maybe Elon Musk.
Seriously, have you ever looked at whose funding all of the Gun Control efforts and Politicians in this country? It’s a veritable whose who of Democrat Billionaires and CEOs.
NYS already banned suppressors for the plebes. Only cops can buy them in NYS. And its highly unlikely they had a NYC permit, for carry, only cops get easy NYC permits, and also C execs like this guy who pays off the right people, in the correct amounts.
So, this means, it must have been a cop that did the shooting. Because it could have been an oligarch with the legal gun, but they couldn’t get a suppressor in NYS.
You can make a pistol suppressor from seamless tubing and steel wool, threaded barrels are not uncommon or controlled. You’ll be missing the booster needed for reliability, and it’s not going to be very good, but expansion chamber volume is expansion chamber volume. Reportedly the shooter had more than one malfunction, which lends credence to a DIY can, or a shitty gun.
If the goal is murder, another +15 years for NFA violations isn’t a big deterrent.
It’s funny you think they’re not. They’ve been dick-riding manufacturers and lifestyle companies for decades. How much “Glock” or “Mossberg” merch have you seen out there? Those are eager corpo shills.
Lol I know exactly who pays into the NRA, they’re just corporate shills now nothing more. They don’t do shit for gun rights and most gun owners want them to desolve.
They are inadvertently. Corporations say the right words and the pro2a people fall in line. Look at all of the millions of citizens that voted directly against their best interests in November because they’ve effectively been fed messages that made them disregard what actually effects them. Obviously not all pro2a people are in this camp, but there’s a lot of overlap between those folks and people getting manipulated by other rich and powerful forces.
Most pro2a people vote repub because they’re the only ones that remotely say anything pro2a even though they’re completely shit at it. Almost all gun owners are single issue voters. If the dems dropped the anti gun rhetoric they’d sweep elections.
"Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable.”
Hopefully this makes all those money grubbing assholes consider how many of the millions of people they’ve fucked over have access to firearms and their location.
There’s an interesting book called Narconomics: How to run a drug cartel that goes into detail about why there’s so much violence in the drug world. It all comes down to there not being a legal system where people can peacefully resolve disputes.
If Pepsi stole Coke’s formula and brand name, Coke would sue them. But if a rival cartel infringes on your territory, you have no choice but to get to murdering.
Now, I don’t know the motivations of why this healthcare CEO was shot - and I don’t condone violence. But I will say that I see some strong parallels where it feels hopeless from a consumer point of view when dealing with insurance companies. The whole process, including the legal system, seems tailored to take away your power. So I’m not at all surprised that violence has occurred.
CEOs have not been held accountable for their actions by the legal system. This is inevitable with the way the United States is set up

We really are just a few years away from Cyberpunk, aren’t we? I’d actually say a mix of both that, and Cloud Atlas’ last timeline.
Nah, the US will just provide secret service details to any and all C level execs.

Living in fear with constant security has to be better than just treating people better, right?
They have the money to hire a 24/7 coffee shop on their private island. I don’t think it’s so bad for them.
Sounds like the miserable existence they deserve.
Absolutely this, this is a nucleation point for disarming the citizenship. Step one for a dictatorship.
NYS has already done this, by and large.
No, I’m talking more like this https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nazi_gun_control_argument

they’ll just define “our” as “voted republican” - EZ Clap
So then just buy illegal guns to carry out your crimes. Problem solved.
Are you under the impression that pro2a people are corporate shills? Lol the fuck

Glock and Mossberg are gun manufacturers, not health care providers…the fuck
I implore you to learn about the history and funding of the NRA.
