488 murders in Chicago alone this year. Virtually ignored by the media. Similar numbers in other big cities.

The school shooting is a great tragedy. But we have daily tragedy in our big cities, usually involving young people, and the media ignores it.

Totally agree with you. It is a very sad problem that is constantly pushed under the rug.

[Jeffrey H.]

So sad and sorry for those parents whose children have been murdered. Nothing can ever be said or done about it to make it any better. I wish I had been there somehow and been able to try to stop things somehow. Or at least to have saved a few lives somehow.

[Perturabo]

Banning guns would be pretty bad because police can almost never arrive on time to stop the crime and policemen are much more likely to kill random innocent people during intervention.

The main reason mass shooting happen is that the perpetrators are ready to end their lives. I don't think lack of coverage would help because I don't think the perpetrators are motivated by wanting to be famous. And the main reason why they are mass killings is that schools don't provide proper protection to kids (armed teachers for example).

3000 people were killed Sept 11th 2001 and not a single shot was fired. So when are we going to regulate personal flying of planes? All this is silliness about gun control. Guns don't kill people, people who use them do. Fix the people and the guns will take care of themselves. Stop making first person shooters video games and showing these kids as they grow up how to do it and making them indifferent and insensitive to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Make more wargames with hexes and they won't be able to relate that kind of interaction with life.

Not really. Military history teaches one to look at life from perspective of a military conflicts. Wargames teach one that individual life is worthless and is to be a sacrificed in such a conflict.

See what I did there?

Well no matter what every time it happens it's a shock and every time a tragedy. Every time it's in the news I think to myself "is it ever gonna stop?" Probably not.
 
(Personally I feel a bit uneasy with weapons around but that's my cultural background, not used seeing them in public places see?. I'm not pro or con)

What really kills.

Good call. Any other edicts?


I think all threads here should be closed. Or perhaps you should be consulted, if it meets your approval. Whoever the ... you think you are.

It's sad that so many people can't into responsible use of alcohol or quitting using alcohol if they can't use it responsibly.
One think that annoys me is that it's really hard to get people to meet sober nowadays. It's like people in my age meet only to drink together.

[SLAAKMAN]

YOU TELL 'EM MISTACHICKEN!! U TELL 'EM! DONT TAKE THAT FRIED EGG LAYING DOWN! IF THEY DONT COOK IT SCRAMBLED THEN SEND IT BACK!! [:-]

[t001001001]

If my neighbor drinks too much it doesn't matter to me.

What matters is the gobmint now looking at my 401, w/ ignorant and envious eyes. They're kicking their feet around looking at such a pretty girl

STOP DOING THAT!

They'll kick a few stones about, trying to look so cute while they're doing it. Bottom line: money!@!11

The gobmint is going to take my 401k. Money I've set aside will be stolen it's simple. So much money unused is unacceptable, so much wealth gobmint eyes bleed looking at it. They wants it.

They're going to have to do it overnight. Everyone w/ a stem will protect what they earned..

It's going to be done. A federal gobmint preaching relief to the "middle class" will suck every penny.

The problem is not guns but a moral crisis in this country. We are raising up a generation of psychopaths who feel entitled and have no empathy for anyone else.

I agree. In any population there will be a small percentage of "crazies". If the population is low, that small percentage might be zero actual people, but in a very large population, the EXACT SAME small percentage might be quite a few individuals. It's just simple math.
