No I just wondered what kind of crap was being said that caused all the deletion. Most of them just were not on topic, but some were really out there.

Off topic like having a FedEx thread in UPS Discussions?

Gun control and SSRIs

The shooter was able to legally purchase 2 rifles after his mental health hold had expired.

No. Guns definitely kill people. If the wackos had only wood clubs or knives, many fewer would die.

A gun is just a more efficient killing tool, but it's just a tool. The problem is wackos. A gun can't kill someone without wacko directing it to do so.

The point is this: There are many insane people walking about freely. If they get a gun it makes it much easier to kill more people faster. If they can’t get a gun, their targets will probably have a better chance of surviving.

Yes so make it so that the many insane people are not eligible to get a gun. That won't interfere with those other sane people exercising their rights.

The problem with that is it could be used as a tool to ban and/or take away guns from people who don't have mental issues. It runs into Constitutional issues of violating their due rights.

If everyone with emotional or mental health issues weren’t allowed to have guns, that could mean the majority of Americans.

The fact that you can legally buy assault rifles at the age of 18 and not alcohol or tobacco is quite troublesome.

Another far right white nationalists using an assault rifle to kill people. It's a shame so many adolescents prefer playing soldier with semi auto rifles, and were not man enough to join the real military.

 

[watdaflock?]

Owing to the nature of the Workplaces at UPS,FEDEX,USPS etc I'm surprised this doesn't happen more often

Especially considering how easy it is for nutjobs to purchase assault rifles.

 

[Fred's Myth]

Assault rifles are a type of machine gun - that is, according to the ATF, a gun that fires more than one round each time the trigger is pulled.

Posted for the edification of the ignorant.

Gun guys need to get ahead on this stuff. None of it is fair for responsible people. These mad/crazy/macho dudes need an outlet to vent. Be proactive and reach out to these guys no matter their background. Use your podium $ wisely. It’ll save you down the road. Technology (WILL) catch everyone.... get on it.

Have to agree 100 percent. Unless there is a secure outer perimeter around a facility, anyone could enter with the right timing. As in am or pm sorts. My FedEx location is pretty secure if all the overhead doors in the warehouse are closed. Then, the only unimpeded entry is the customer counter. But there have been at least two times where customers walked right into pm operation because the overheads were open. Apparently, the Closed sign at the outside customer entrance didn’t apply to them.

I know a local UPS center where it’s quite easy to walk right in. Others are more fortified.

My station is surrounded by barbed wire fence. Only the customer entrance isn't inside the fence, and have to scan ID to get past there. Only managers and CSA's can scan that door. UPS station a mile away can just be walked right in to.
