Last thing i'd want is a nut job to NOT be able to get a gun and have start thinking creatively on how to get the most social impact from planned attacks... I don't even see it as a gun problem as much as a culture problem. I think this social media and all this new connectedness over sharing is really fucking with peoples systems of values. I think it's just going to be the new norm in a culture of FOMO and oversharing. Cultural life as been redefined as a perpetual round of entertainment, the people the audience, and their public business a vaudeville act. So many people find the necessity to share their lives with a world that doesn't really care, why wouldn't people also want to share some bullets while they perform their last act.

- *material goods, and fame. these morally empty, desensitized young men get thier 15 minutes of fame and we give it to them because it suits the agendas of the agilgamush
- alarmists who want to strip you of your rights, and it suits our own purposes because it serves as a needed distraction from the real evils going on behind thegilgamush
