Why School Shootings: Not Enough God, Not Enough Guns

You are an idiot to think this is about guys.
You are an idiot to think that this is about mental health.In this doc "Murder By Proxy: How America Went Postal" mentally stables employees sympathise with the gunners ON THE RECORD saying "i know why he did it" and "i was that close to do it too."
It's about the dehumanization of a person in modern times.

Seems that gun lobbyists are devious organisations in any country, as we discovered in Australia today:

Who said that tighter gun controls remove the rights of the many for the sake of the few?
- it seems more of UN treaty synchronization thing once you have the Aussies tinkeringyurimon
- Yurimon, you can't even compose a sentence; so why do you think anyone of even moderate intelligence would think you have something noteworthy to impart?eoin
- you might have anything noteworthy to impart?eoin
- Facts Yurimon?bobkat

- Yes, I see the issue. As the USA is the predominate exporter of arms, a treaty would be an issue...Pffft. Get over the conspiracies Yurimon.bobkat

It is actually the disgusting worm of racism coming from the pro-gun-ists at the end of the day, isn't it? 'We need guns because the minorities who we've been killing /enslaving/degrading/exploiting since we came here as a colonial/cultural white luftwaffe will kill us if we don't have guns to defend ourselves.' Nothing has changed. And that goes for the global US colonialism too.
- And, as always, I am NOT lumping all Americans, most of whom are wonderful, in with that summary.eoin
- Classic case of urban vs. rural perception problems. Nearly everyone I know is a gun owner. I know only a few racists (and some don't own a gun).melq
- ...and some of those (racists) don't own a gun.melq
- Room, you're the first person I've read that proposed such nonsensealbums

It's crazy how tv wants you to accept that there's nothing we can do about these random shootings. Jon Stewart once again, a comedian giving an honest perspective of what is going on...
isn't that CRAZY? a comedy show is more trust worthy than the actual news.. THAT BLOWS MY MINDJump to 2:20

As a Father (15 month old) and an owner of multiple firearms I don't honestly think the answer is less guns.
The real answer is educating people about firearm safety and violence. The reality of our sad world is that guns are going to get into the hands who have no business handling them. Also, If you believe we live in a utopia where there are no crazy people and they don't have access to firearms then i feel sorry for you.
I think that part of the problem starts with education people about firearms safety and gun violence in our culture. Educate your child on how to use and intelligently defend themselves with a firearm, the effects of gun violence, and etc.
While this is by no means a definitive answer I think it's imperative we start to discourse about firearms intelligently with the understanding that firearms are pervasive and easily obtained in western cultures (particularly America). You can't just say "ban all firearms" or "ban all ammo" or whatever... because I truly believe it's not going to solve the problem.

So yurimon says he thinks these shootings are staged by the government...strange how you can argue for pages and pages over this issue and leave out that rather important "fact"
- I love how people just casually say these things are false flags...if the government was really staging mass killings you'd think it would be time to riot in the streets or somethingqoob
- you'd think it would be time to riot in the streets or somethingqoob
- Can't he be banned for illiteracy at the very least? Please QBN, for the sake of civilisation.eoin
- There are facts. You can substantiate anything on your own other then CNN news?yurimon
- Jury still out in this case. let you know if something comes up.yurimon

this thread has grown.
has there been any intelligent pro-gun arguments made yet?
i.e. not complaining about video games or daft whataboutery with spurious correlations towards anything else that is dangerous
- nah.ebertzjaw
- There has actually. But you're against firearms, so you cant see the other sides point.CygnusZero4

- fyi: this was a student workers protest ..plash
- ... in a totalitarian regime. It's not a totalitarian regime because people don't have guns.eoin
- you're right, this has nothing to do with gun control. take a moment to see what the message is.plash
- The message is China has a long and complicated history and is only recently coming out of an era backwards totalitarianism.eoin
- no, that's the obvious.plash

Let's give the gun nuts what they want: you can keep and bear arms so long as you are a part of an active and regulated militia: as in you have to sign up for active duty in the army. Only then.
- How about, everyone who cheer lead for a war should sign up to go fight in it?GeorgesII

Mass shooting at Highland Park Fourth of July parade, multiple people shot.
The Highland Park Fourth of July parade ended in panic when shots were fired about 10 minutes after the parade kicked off at 10 a.m. Monday, striking an unknown number of parade-goers and sending hundreds of people running for safety.
some are now saying that the suspect has barricades in a grocery store holding people hostage.
