I guess the Clinton story got conveniently buried. and its gone.
- I'm fairly sure people had stopped giving a shit about that before all this happened. Perhaps even years ago.detritus
- or that other thing, you know .. Ben-gay-zeeRamanisky2
- Please stay on topic. This isn't the politics thread.DRIFTMONKEY

- the gun issue is 100% politics nowmoldero
- I always relay on the media to be my conscious, the establishment my Shepard, my eyes to world because they would never lie and always tell me what to focus onyurimon
- yUr-gay-zeeRamanisky2
- seriously, yuri, can't you leave the deliberate political baiting in the political thread?monospaced
- even though the gun issue is politically related, it's not related to the presidential campaign, nor your obsession with the Clinton storymonospaced
- *flaggedmonospaced
- ^ good point monomoldero
- what occupies the airwaves is related in how news baits your attentions. where focus goes, especially in an election year.yurimon
- fucking yuri, please, I'm asking nicely that you please don't redirect toward the political issue of your choice here, just because it's on your mindmonospaced
- wrong-on mono, if the Dems make more gun laws right now, Trump will win the election in Nov. So the Dems will do nothing about this. it's very political.robotron3k
- hahaha, that's delusional, robomonospaced
- you do realize the Dems can't just make more gun laws, right? The Repubs would just shut them down like they did a few weeks ago anywaymonospaced
- anyway, stricter gun lawsmonospaced
- I dont think you understand the relationship between policies and the current problems. the smoke screen is too look somewhere else and embrace the disfunctionyurimon

Some stunning info on shooters and their obsession with first person shooter games... Of course nobody wants to admit "entertainment" plays s big part in this.
...
Nick Cruz, of the Stoneman Douglass shooting, spent 12 to 15 hours a day playing video games where he was killing people and blowing things up. Adam Lanza, of the Sandy Hook shooting, had killed racked up over 83,000 kills in “Combat Arms”, his favorite video game.
There is some evidence that Cho Seung-Hui, who killed 32 people at Virginia Tech, was an avid counter strike player, but it’s hard to get accurate information about it because it was a while ago, and it looks like the video game industry leaned on the media to remove references to it. (Many outlets repeated arguments that “no video games were found with his belongings” but counter strike is an online game, not a console game meaning there doesn’t have to be a physical copy.)
Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold, of the Columbine shooting, were avid video game players — and actually went on their shooting spree after their video game privileges had been revoked.
- Cho Seug-Hui had heavy mental illness, the video games didnt made him kill people. Vid games are just a thin layer in a very complex matter.Bennn
- there's just as much violence in those superhero movies targeting kids as there is in FPS games, but god forbid they show kids a pair of tits.LMFAO
- Of course no one wants to admit a false correlation borne of flawed fuckwit reasoning. Even psychos consume media just as the rest of us do.detritus
- oh robofadein11

- I've been playing violent video games since I was 10 and I turned into a pacifist/ anti-war/ anti-NRA.M01XXX

Germany is out of control. Needs stronger gun laws.
- Gunman dead. NO other casualties.Morning_star
- I read it was somekind of airsoft gun/gas gun, no casualty yet. Tear gas did more damage.elektro
- hopefully no other casualties. you never know until they full check the place... but also with 25 people injured, you never know if anyone will dieslinky
- from injuries... hopefully notslinky

the gov't should at least repeal the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act. allow victims to sue dealers and manufacturers
- robthelad-7
Governments arm the police and the military with every kind of weapon - while at the same time depriving citizens of the basic means of defending themselves.
Are you so afraid? That you'll give up your rights in the hope that your government will keep you safe?
"That rifle hanging on the wall of the working-class flat or labourer's cottage is the symbol of democracy. It is our job to see that it stays there." George Orwell
- Defend from what? other people with guns. Idiotic.Morning_star
- Look past the trees and you'll see the woods.robthelad
- You don't need protection from anything if you think and act exactly how you're expected to.robthelad
- Laws help dictate that expectation in a society.monospaced
- When laws remove human rights it becomes a dictatorship. We're being sold a future without human rights, and we're buying it.robthelad
- what human right are you talking about?monospaced
- Life, liberty, and property. How can a man protect himself against a government who can lock you up for an indefinite time for literally no reason.robthelad
- lol, you're fucking serious that automatic weapons are the thing that would prevent being imprisoned for crime?monospaced
- if so, then you're a lost causemonospaced
- No that's not what I said, try not to focus on the little things. Why would the government disarm its citizens? To keep good people safe from bad people...?robthelad
- Robthelad: He how talks in maxims....sounds smart.twentyfive
- I felt like you made the argument that we should have guns to protect ourselves from government and to protect our human rights, actuallymonospaced
- Guns are just the McGuffin. If you don't agree with me that's fine. I have no qualms.robthelad

The plot thickens...
Vegas Shooter Used Hotel Freight Elevator, His Reno Home Was Broken Into

Hopefully soon everyone can realise that guns are not the problem in America, psychiatric drugs are. How many shooters have been on meds? Go and have a look for yourself.
Drugs that are allowed, encouraged and profited on by the same people that will lock someone up for cannabis. Guns ain't the issue folks...
- why make it one or the other? Guns are clearly part of the issue, even if opioids / societal issues are the driving cause.Fax_Benson
- Well you're right, they're both an issue, but drugs is a thousand times more important...set
- But no one needs a fucking gun. Certainly not a machine gun or assault rifle.set
- Drugs is = the drugs issue is*set
- The point being the drug issue is far more important yet not being talked about. All focus is on the gun problem, which is merely a symptom of a greater cause.set
- As ever I'm probably not the most eloquent or diplomatic in my delivery. I don't want to argue, let's talk...set
- i agree that drugs are the problem.
i also agree that guns are the problem.
furthermore, i agree that set is a problem.kona - :)kona
- That's pretty much what I just did, right..set
- you're right but saying access to guns isn't issue starts the thing off on the wrong foot and you get an 80-note shitfest, and no discussion of drugs issueFax_Benson
- Yupfadein11
- set, you mix drugs, mental illness or whatever the fuck else with a semi automatic weapon and you're fucked. So guns ARE a massive part of the problem.BusterBoy
- ^ indeedRamanisky2
- amenfadein11
- Sure, but if it weren't for drugged up mentally unstable people most of these shootings would never have happened.set
- It's wrong of me to say guns aren't the issue, but if there were no guns in America horrific things would still happen through a different methodset
- The main issue that's not being talked about or focused on anywhere near enough is that these people are on medication that takes away the...set
- ... the emotions and feelings that usually stop humans from doing these things.set
- I live in the UK, of course I agree that no one should have guns, but it's a distraction from bigger issuesset
- I’m curious. Are there like no meds in Australia, Japan and the UK? If meds are the issue you’d think this would happen in more places more oftenmonospaced
- Honestly I’d rather people have to resort to other methods of killing than having access to killing machines, bombs and billet proof gear.monospaced
- I do understand it’s not guns alone. But can’t we just start somewhere at least to TRY to get guns out of their hands???monospaced
- The fact that I could buy an arsenal at a whim is so fucking stupid. Even worse and easier than my access to meds.monospaced
- I agree, guns should be banned. Regardless, an example, read this and tell me which is the more important issue?set
- http://www.bbc.co.uk…set
- Ban guns but talk about why the guns were used in the way they were.set
- As much as i want to disagree with set... nearly every mass shooter in recent decades used anti-depressant drugs prior to or during their acts of violencewagshaft
- It's clearly an issue based on many factors not one yet doesn't seem to be getting any better post Obamafadein11
- And still unique to your countryfadein11
- upvoted to make you feel better about your ludicrous original statement anyway.fadein11
- It's very clear to all what the main issue that needs addressing is. The only thing ridiculous here is the need to disagree with me, just because it's me.set
- Your way is to nanny a population and take away dangerous things, which you can never do completely. The better angle is to improve and care for our people...set
- ...and that includes not getting kids drugged up on psychiatric medication. Which is ultimately what makes them do these things.set
- Ultimately no one needs a fucking gun. Ideally they would not exist. Obviously. But people are missing the point to who's using these guns and why...set
- "guns are not the problem" bizarre black and white thinking big brain. I do understand why you had to showboat mid tragedy again though, we all get you nowfadein11
- I really don't believe it's the medication that causes people to kill. The correlation might be because medicated people are already on edge, but the causationmonospaced
- is simply not there in my opinion.monospaced
- Yep. Its clearly a situation based on many factors. Legal military grade assault rifles being an easy delivery mechanism of a poisoned society. Knives dont killfadein11
- 17 innocent beautiful lives. Like i said get your fucking shit together America :(fadein11
- but let's not hurt Set's likkle feelingsfadein11
- Mono, these drugs take away feelings of empathy and compassion. Consequence and rational thought process.set
- Almost every single mass shooter has been on them. Come on, man.... Come on.set
- Did you read properly the link I provided? That kid descended in to the emotionless killer be became because of the drugs he's on. It's clearly documented.set
- No drugs, no killing spree.set
- The larger issue is pharmaceutical companies profiting on getting kids(everyone) hooked on these drugsset
- and then placing focus on gun problems, the symptom, rather than the cause. Disagree with me all you like, it's futile.set
- I'm making a new one sans your real nameset
- But there is a reason they are on drugs. I agree with you set, but there is issues to what lead people to the drugs in the first place.mugwart
- That's true dudeset
- I hear you loud and clear. But correlation isn't causation. Meds aren't the case in EVERY situation either, despite your insistence they are.monospaced
- one could argue that being male is the causation, considering all of these are committed by men, but nobody's doing that specifically :)monospaced
