There is a perverse gun culture in the USA. A unhealthy obsession with guns, reeking in paranoia, disrespect and hand waving. It's looking like this kid was obsessed with guns. I wonder if his social media is filled with gun obsessed, paranoid, violent and hateful content. Will there be law enforcement just tasked with scanning social media for people with this type of content and creating watch lists?.

We do, which is why there's extensive regulation of cigarettes, far-ranging research into their effects and marketing campaigns discouraging use. Imagine if we applied that to guns!

You have to be 18 to buy cigarettes.

You have to be 21 to buy guns. And a non-felon. And not determined to be mentally incompetent. And show two forms of ID and pass a background check each and every time you buy a gun.

Of course, cigarettes are much cheaper AND you can buy them everywhere. But then you need to spend a LOT more money on them before you die. And they're addicting, so theres that.

Both come with warning labels that are usually ignored.

So the question is really, what should the answer be? And right now, at least, that's an impossible question to answer.

1: We need to lock the second amendment behind reasonable restrictions, in a way that will impact gun ownership nationwide.
2: We need to radically re-engineer the social decay that has been wrought from trickle down. Too many people are out there to backstab and cannibalize one another instead of treat each other like human beings deserve. Hell, look at how people drive on the roads. They'd kill you if they could just for being in their way, cause +10 over the limit isn't fast enough. We end the rat race, we end the stress and the killings that result from it.

This is a sick society loaded with semi-automatic weapons.

Private sellers now require background checks and ID's? That's news to me!

Thoughts and prayers, that's all I've got because that's all we can do.

Ugh this is terrible. My younger siblings competed against that school in soccer I think. I can't bring myself to listen to the audio.

In addition to bringing 5.56 and plenty of it, they're saying this evil fuck positioned himself and hit the fire alarm, bringing columns of kids into his waiting field of fire.

I'm guessing it's another guy that girls want nothing to do with, and his 'media presence' involves certain beliefs very much in vogue with a certain segment of Dump supporters. Probably another mass killing conservative white guy that joined ranks with the others and still somehow doesn't represent the same kind of threat as a fleeing unarmed black guy.

Well, we all know your golden rule: whenever guns are involved, absolutely nothing must ever be done.

Seemed like the kid was a known threat but nobody did anything preemptively about him. Maybe he should have spoken negatively about Muslims or refused to bake a cake and that would have gotten him on somebody's radar for sure.

They want to ban guns as part of their agenda. The partisan left is spoon fed what to think.

They want to ban guns as part of their agenda is not a reason. I understand that banning guns is part of the agenda. Why is it part of their agenda? You already asserted without evidence that they don't care about reducing gun violence. If that is not the reason banning guns is part of their agenda, what is the reason? They want to kill conservatives in their homes? They want to commit genocide? Give us the "real" reason.

The Senators speech and commentary about it basically mirror what I stated earlier, but here it is again...

wow, you're clever, and funny and so deeply insightful, you should write a blog.

I guess it's a step ahead of Libtards posting on here about "thoughts and prayers". Once again, the Progreesheviks go off on more guns laws because that will do little but everybody feels great that we made it doubly illegal. Roll up your sleeves, address the real problems, and then create real solutions. That won't get headlines or photo ops with everyone backslapping each other and yelling "More laws.... beotches!!!!!!!!".

Oh for shits and giggles.

What are the "real problems" and potential "real solutions" as you see them? Might be a more meaningful line of discussion than slow's smoking BS.
