Ontopic The Shooting Thread

Definitely couldn't have anything to do with that person's easy access to the weapon, nosiree.

How easy was it for Tim McVey to build a building killer bomb?

In the end, it doesn't matter how easy the access is. If someone wants to kill a ton of people in the US, it's easy, and it doesn't take a gun to do it. Guns just make it easier, but it doesn't change the fact we have random people walking around the country looking to kill ever increasing scores of random people. You don't see this elsewhere outside of sectarian violence or terrorism. It's not the guns, it's something inherently wrong with American Society that creates people like this.

Who am I kidding: Newton was when it became clear that there is no level at which we as a country have had enough.

Columbine set that mark long before. The CT shooting just reaffirmed that.

If seeing bloodied children killed in a school wasn't enough to set America straight 20 years ago, then not a god damn image is going to do it now. Not even a FPV from a shooter being livestreamed of him killing preschooolers would change the minds of so many Americans.

We're fucked as a country. Best just to go mercenary and get as much as you can while the getting is still good.

After OKC we made it harder to get bunches of ammonium nitrate.

Yes there is something flawed with the US's culture of violence, part of that is our guns.

So you're saying guns kill people... All by themselves. Pew pew pew, fuck ya, got another human. High five guys!

Humans have access to kill others with a wide variety of household items. Going to ban/restrict them all?

when's the last time someone killed 50 people and injured 200 with a corkscrew you dolt?
 
Yep. People with clinically diagnosed mental illness should not be allowed to purchase guns. But you know, patients rights and all...
It's a double edged sword, if people think they will lose their guns, they won't seek mental health treatment. I think we need to encourage them to get help instead of making them afraid too.

Also who decides someone has a mental illness and what it is? Will temporary depression because your dog died lose you your second amendment rights forever?
