We have a COWARD problem. Whether we're talking mass-murder or street violence, these acts are committed by COWARDS. COWARDS with guns.

That's silly. The shooter undoubtedly had mental issues but why use the word "coward?" To go in and start killing until they stop you almost always ends with a dead shooter.

They kept calling the 9-11 highjackers "Cowards" as well, apparently just because "Coward" is an insulting word, as suicide missions are crazy in many more ways than cowardly

So see a movie these days. I doubted the number of depicted killings in any theater is less than a few dozen on any given day

we don't know how the shooter died in this incident...

OMG, I'm going to have to turn on the TV and stay glued until they find out. I can't wait to know... I need to know... OMG, how did it all end? I can go on until I find out... oh the suspense!

Anastasia, ^^^ THAT is what your parents were NOT exposed to.

I'm going to give up here, because I can't even follow the twists in that logic.

Kos, go to Peshawar and watch them make a machine gun out of used truck parts in an outdoor stall.

The genie is out of the bottle and you can't legislate it back in.
Yes, we need more love. That will fix it. Let's pass some legislation mandating more love
although that is the liberal's answer to everything.

Dean, IMO, it's both parenting and accessibility to firearms.

Kind of a perfect storm of terrible.

you don't need a AK to kill a deer.

I agree with your other points...this country is really messed up socially.

This is a SOCIETY problem....and ours is a society in freefall in terms of moral responsibility.

If this is the root problem then please explain the record low rate of crime in America, including murder.

although that is the liberal's answer to everything.

you complain of over simplification, and yet resort to it. I know that one can't legislate this problem out of existence, but one can perhaps moderate it. Just because some people can build machine guns doesn't mean that every crazy person will. Most likely most won't, because they just won't have the mechanical ability to. So reducing access ( if that really is possible, and I don't' fully believe that it is ) could possibly reduce this problem. there is a difference between reducing and eliminating a problem.

Gun control is simply a method of reducing access. It will not eliminate the problem.

Wow 28 dead- that's almost as bad as say A HALF MILLION dead civilians in Iraq.

Seriously, the people that are harping about "accessibility" of guns, how would you address that without compromising the rights of responsible citizens?

And please don't start spewing folk tales about imaginary "gun show loopholes".




kennyt thinks he is being facetious but the truth is garage builds ARE possible.

Yeah, and if the shooter didn't have easy access to guns he could have made a machine gun in his garage from chevy parts.

ok, if a "liberal" response is to "do something about the problem"


then guilty

but also true is a "conservative" response is to do "nothing" about the problem

and then bleat and moan about their "rights" being "threatened"

which is better, do something or do nothing?

Surely more hate and guns are a much better answer Toker?

Looks like the L word has really got some people up in arms!



survival,
you read my original post?
I don't blame the tool but rather the lack of guidance, i.e. loving parenting.

Ron: how would you address that without compromising the rights of responsible citizens?

I personally wouldn't worry about it - I'd savagely abridge and severely restrict any such 'rights'.
