Problem is, what kind of "overhauling" could have prevented this? Or any of them? I honestly don't know where the overhaul could start because of that fact. The only thing I can see any of it doing is punishing those who own and purchase legally. And while the left feel 2nd Amendment repeal and gun owner "lists" and/or turn in and confiscation is the answer, like most of their "answers', it's completely absurd and will NEVER happen. If not a gun then a truck. If not a truck then a bomb. We have to look at the cause not the method. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And pressure cookers and fertilizer and fuel oil and...... One has to wonder if the glorification of violence in our society isn't really coming home to roost. Honestly the see something say something isn't going to work when it comes to mental health. There probably isn't one person in the country that doesn't know someone who if they went on a rampage wouldn't say "that doesn't shock me from him/her." I know 2 people that it wouldn't shock me. What possibly could be done legally to people who don't openly discuss a rampage like this? Nothing.

Moto doesn't say half the shit Ben does. He actually has come down off the "kill em all in the revolution" that he use to. Honestly Ben is all talk but no question I don't think anyone here would disagree that he seems most unhinged. What is saying something going to do any good? Should that justify a warrant to look into that person and we are kidding ourselves if we think LE has the resources to do so. Its a slippery slope because people who simply don't like someone could make shit up. Reality is threats have to have been made for action to occur and probably can't be done on someones words alone. There has to be hard evidence. Edited November 6, 2017 by Highmark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, every shit talking couch-tool spewing hate needs to be reported? See. I just don't even see that as a proper ID indicator. Honestly, I just don't see what can be done. Highmark's comments are worthy of thought. Glorification of violence has got every nut-job with a grand in his pocket dreaming of glory via Black Ops and other media. This tool is just another disenfranchised internet shut-in that finally had to show people that hs is "somebody". How do we protect against this? No idea.

Fucking loser, rot in hell. Can't believe Greg thinks "Kates Law" is a big fucking joke smh. All well and good until its your daughter shot down by a 5 time deported loser. Dude should already be dead if there was any real justice in this country. What a moron. Wants a medication registry but not a gun registry. You know that cars, drugs and fertilizers are all controlled. Talk about gun control and you dummies think hopes and prayers will solve this.

The odds are much greater that one of us will be killed by a fellow American than we will be by a Muslim terrorist. WE ARE #1 Quote It's a largely American phenomenon From 1966 to 2012, nearly a third of the world's mass shootings took place in the United States. A 2016 study looked at 292 incidents in which four or more people were killed. It found 90 of them occurred in America. Put another way: While the United States has about 5% of the world's population, it had 31% of all public mass shootings. http://www.cnn.com/2016/06/13/health/mass-shootings-in-america-in-charts-and-graphs-trnd/index.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pointing to video games because they didn't exist before is a stretch to say the least. The fact is that there are alot of people who are socially isolated and have no purpose in life.

The first video game console I had was in 2012 so we could all sit around during the duty day and play NHL 13 against each other. I was kinda a big deal with my blue line special wristers into the top shelf. To your same point about video games being new, is the same specious argument that can be made in that assault rifles are a new thing as well. Do I blame them, no. The rise of mass shootings and assault rifles appear correlated pretty closely. I think you are making a hasty generalization. Culturally we are different as a country than say 50 years ago. Video games seems too simple to me. Just my opinion of course. How many times do people get on here and rail about kids being pussies and not being raised right, yet now you are saying that’s not the case?
