A libtard goes on a killing spree with a handgun, car and knife in a state with strict gun rights restrictions.
No story here. Doesn't fit the narrative.
The kid wasn't institutionalized... so there's a problem there...
Manifesto - woa twisted is correct.

I don't know. bradly1101's hijacking of this tragedy to further his anti-gun political agenda is a pretty disgusting, depressing display of narcissistic douchebaggery.
It's particularly unfortunate because it derails discussion about real issues, like the United States' hopelessly broken mental health and judicial systems. This isn't the first mass murder where family/friends/doctors expected the assailant to snap but had effectively no legal way to intervene. And as long as partisan imbeciles focus the discussion on "durr gunz r bad," it likely won't be the last.
Only 11k? Wow, that's a pretty good safety record, considering how many firearms we have.
It's a stat from 1980. Way for the anti-gun nuts to be up-to-date.You have in posters that aren't probably 25+ years old?
Note the reference to West Germany?

The 2013 number was around 6,000 handgun deaths. So- our population has gone up in 34 years, but the number of handgun deaths has dropped off quite a bit.
***CRISIS!!!!***
Where are you getting that number? According to CDC there were roughly 32,000 gun deaths in the US in 2010, and I would expect the majority of those were handgun related. I don't believe the number could possibly have dropped that dramatically in the last 3 years.

Data for 2012. Handguns accounted for 6,371 homicides. Granted the number gets bigger when you throw in suicides, but suicidal people are suicidal in my book. If they didn't have a handgun they'd hang themselves or take a car exhaust induced nap.
The phrase we are talking about is "handgun deaths," to compare apples to apples (that is what that poster is talking about). It's meaningless to say that there are "only" 6,371 handgun homicides in the context of what the poster is referring to, because it's including only a smaller subset of a larger number. Apparently nearly 20,000 people killed themselves with guns in 2010 - http://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2013/05/24/suicides-account-for-most-gun-deaths/ - and I would have to assume the significant majority of these involved handguns. My point is that it's misleading to compare homicide-only numbers for recent years to "handgun deaths" numbers from the 1980s and argue that the number has gone down - in fact it has risen considerably.
I am not anti-gun - I am a gun owner myself - but this kind of fast-and-loose-with-the-facts argument inhibits real productive discussion in my view.
(Also, as an aside, I do think it's fair to include suicides in overall gun mortality numbers, since guns are so much more effective as a means of committing suicide than other methods - this is why the success rate of suicides among men is so much higher than it is among women.)

Only thing I could find with for 2013 - It has gone down but that seemed low.
No, actually that's just homicides. But they changed the wording so it's no longer just "handguns", but all guns (including long guns and shotguns).Lol at how it's gone up everywhere else and gone down in the US. Although to be clear, that number now includes suicides and homicides whereas the previous flier was clearly only talking about homicides.
When the deaths from homicides got too low to shock people enough, they had to move the goal posts.

With suicides, it's somewhere north of 30,000. But as I said before, 11k isn't much in the grand scheme of things. I know every life is precious...yadayadayada...but it's really not.
I don't think I've ever seen a more disgusting, more depressing display of narcissistic douchbaggery. I hope there is a line of people ready to piss on that fuckers grave.
The three found in his apartment were stabbed, just fyi.
I blame white privilege. He clearly had it. Now is the time to combat white privilege and gun violence.
Notice how the original poster said specifically handgun deaths, now it's 'Gun deaths' on that.Only thing I could find with for 2013 - It has gone down but that seemed low.
Actually he sounds a lot like you class-envy whining dipshits. Just substitute his jealousy over anyone successful with women, and your ilk whining about anyone successful at making money, and the whiny, entitled, shitbagness sounds a lot the same.Certainly whines like a self-entitled white Christian conservatard.

That was a very unkind thing to say.
You're one of the queens of whiny, revenge-fantasy, class-envy bullshit.PS. If all that doesn't work, kill the rich and pillage their motherfucking estates.
