Pieces of Truth Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 He said that the US is the most powerful country in the world. Well, I already knew that but I wanted to exactly know why so I did some research on google. ":We have enough nuclear bombs to blow up the world easily, which in all honesty won't happen but its nice to say we can" Jeez. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
It's Splash Time Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 I agree completely with what Mike is saying there, I'm so glad right now that we have idols that understand important issues like this and will bring them up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tubbie Head Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 Just coppying and pasting a few of Mike's comments: "There's a difference between the right to bear arms and the right to own multi person killing machines! If people need assault rifles to defend themselves that's pretty sad! As for collectors, should we be able I collect bombs?" "@jesuzofsuburbia 20 years ago, nobody recycled from home, now we all do. Change has to start somewhere and I've seen the difference gun laws make in other countries, they work. It's nice to walk the streets of other countries and know your reasonably safe." "I just don't see how owning a gun can make you feel safer! Hunting yes, I get it, but a good dog and a baseball bat will work wonders in a home invasion!" "@elizabethclaireparris what's the statistic killed by gun vs saved by gun per year? Just a thought." So right! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Femme Gauche Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 I am not seeing them, either. I am not too concerned about that. He is being very straightforward in the comments to the other photograph. As for the photos of Billie and Mike, Ithought as well that it didn't look necessarily like someone's home. Maybe not a studio... who knows? Wherever they are, they are together, which is an encouraging sign . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

farley drexel hatcher Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 this was the first photo he posted, then he posted it again but tagging lots of famous people to try and spread the word. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeysturkeyhead Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 I couldn't do anything else than agree with Mike. If people weren't allowed to have guns in their homes then no one would be shot, if someone broke into your house without a gun you could just hit the person in the head with something so he pass out then call the police. If the guy's got a knife you could just get into a locked room. Even though you're not allowed to own a gun in Sweden, you can still import guns, drugs or whatever you want because we don't have any tollgates, if you wanna get in you just show your passport, they don't check if you have drugs in your pockets or a gun hidden in your shoe. Fuck that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IsaGreenDay Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 Mike will be at the StopTheNRA thing tonight... There he goes, that's why I love him, when him ( and the whole band ) doesn't like something, they just go away and try to solve the wrong thing. Classic Green Day attitude, in my opinion. And I wish him much luck, and for whoever is going with him. Guns are dangerous objects and not everyone is ready to carry one. Just pull the trigger and... It's done, you can't look back. The easiest way to do shit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see that it wasn't what you meant because of the rest of your post, but the way you said, "Trying to solve the wrong thing" made it seem like you don't agree with him; that you think that guns aren't the problem (I realize English likely isn't your first language and it is easy to get confused, I'm just... hoping to clarify) Mike has deleted his post...

Femme Gauche Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 I am not sure if it is a physical event or an online thing. He just said stopthenra.com that's where I'll be tonight, or something to that effect. The picture is gone so I can't confirm the exact wording.

Femme Gauche Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 No problem. With all the international members here I am sure there is a lot of language confusion (though everyone speaks English better than I speak any other language, so...).

Trina Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 I wonder why Mike deleted that one? There were a ton of comments!

Ritz Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 I love you Mike, for this. I am so glad to see that the people we look up to are so responsible. makes me feel happy that I am a IDIOT! Billie posted When is enough enough? The right to bear arms was written 300 years ago from the revolutionary war. War on drugs? How about a war on guns??

Hero_Of_The_Hour Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 Ugh I shouldn't get so sucked into instagram arguments. everyone pisses me off lol Tell me about it! I can't fathom anyone who supports the current gun laws in America...if the gazillion previous catastrophic school/mall shootings weren't enough to make people wake up then surely todays dead baby carnage should do the trick no? Living practically on the border to Northerrn Ireland (my sister and baby niece live in Belfast) I have experienced my fair share of horror regarding guns etc and enough to know that the logic that owning a gun is protection creates a snowball effect whereby everyone must carry one...and guns are manufactured to kill...they injure, spill blood and kill innocent people. The time for debate is over when baby body bags are required. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schlappy Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 If this doesnt lead to stricter gun control then we have a serious problem. It sucks that things have to get so bad before stubborn people are willing to change, and even then some wont. tears for the victims and families.

Femme Gauche Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 People want to take it to the other extreme. Some asshole was like, "Your an idiot" and went on this long spiel to Billie, saying how he didn't care about anything he was just looking for Instagram fame. Cause it's not like he has 50,000 Instagram followers or anything. *checks* Sorry. 90,000. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
