Hurray, nationalistic back-and-forth bitching! *walks out of ruined topic*
I heard about this . . . it's really sad.

I can't really add much past that!

I like enjoy ruining worthless topics.


Get out.

If we're going to blame things that aren't the guy himself, we can look at the inflated importance of sex in society. There's many 48 year olds who have never had sex, and they're doing just fine. Why did he think sex is so important? Maybe because every media outlet inflates its importance?


Well, yeah, I can agree with that. However also because a lack of sex (for years and years and years), especially when you desire it is generally unhealthy to the human psyche. The libido and the IMPORTANCE of sexual fulfillment is not to be underestimated! However I do agree with the overblowing of sex.

Also, hatred of women. Being angry for not having sex with girls so shooting them? That's basic misogyny. Does he feel that women are fuck machines (thanks Vonnegut), and if they don't fulfill his desires then he gets angry at them? What perpetuated such sexist demeaning attitudes?


Yeah, dude definitely had some misogyny issues going on. I have to wonder what kind of relationship he DID have with the little females he knew, most notably his mother. She is the last person he called right before he did what he did (and he told her everything as well).

Gameovergames:

A rant over gun control? How about looking at this realistically and placing the fault ENTIRELY on this disturbed individual's actions? A killer is a killer, guns or not, and we are all given the choice in life... handle things responsibly, or handle things by going on a murdering spree, and this nut chose the latter.
To clarify: over how gun control needs to be less strict and someone should have shot the guy before three people died

I place the fault on the killer, but there's no reasons to let a killer do what he wants to now is there?
I see what you're saying GOG.

Also, I read the man's blog...that guy's more than a little loopy.

This sounds like an idea fostered by violent-hero video game and hollywood stories. I don't think a Wild West America would turn out the way gun nuts think it would.

Have you ever been mad enough to throw something or scream? . . . what do you think would happen if everyone carried a gun?

Works just fine where I live, except for when some idiot tries to bring one into a bar. I'm also pretty sure our roots go back way before video games and hollywood.

That doesn't even make sense. There are far more serious consequences to shooting somebody as opposed to screaming and throwing shit which I'm sure everyone who isn't a sociopath would know which to choose when they're pissed off.
It's awesome that Americans want to fight the massive amount of gun violence they have by good law abiding citizens shooting the people doing the gun violence.
Good law abiding citizens should not be stopped from defending themselves by the law. The criminals aren't going to follow it whether it does or not.

Wait, never mind, the laws that don't allow guns on school campuses certainly stopped all those shooters from bringing guns on campus and shooting weaponless individuals. Just ignore all of this since criminals comply with gun control.

If I had a carrier's permit and I saw somebody shooting up a gym I'd put a few in his head, would you call that gun violence or heroism?

yes, we get it, you hate Americans.

The point is that this guy was nuts. He was going to find a way to kill people whether or not he had access to a gun. And no, more violence does not solve the problem. Judge not lest ye be judged and what not.
The point is why are there so many people who are nuts in America compared to other first world countries and does America's attitude towards guns and violence in general have anything to do with it.

I don't hate Americans, I just disagree with some mainstream American opinions. Gun control happens to be up there.
Your just jealous of our country's mafia F-G.

Even if there had been laws in place that would have made it illegal for him to have a gun, he still would have ended up with one. Just like all those addicts who still end up with drugs despite all the laws against them.
I think instead of focusing on whether he could have access to guns or not, I think the focus should be on the underlying psychological issues that presses someone to do this in the first place.
