Nicely worded I didn't connect all those points.

Guns make killing easier, regardless of whether it's due to poor mental health or to protect. We can't prevent mental health problems.
ratfinkfuck
or you know... solve the root of the problem and shoot the kids while they're all unarmed still.

you can make a lot of money posting this all day

I'd take his perspective more seriously if he didn't launch it using a snotty insult. Be civil and be constructive to engage w/opponents.

Also, I personally hate when people (on any side) throw around the term "child". He was a minor, yes, but 17 isn't exactly a "child".

Or the parents failed to secure the gun in the first place. Why is this not mentioned?

"The child was able to get a gun & bring it to school" Pro tip: your replies will be more effective if you read the post you're replying to
gbray0700360
Maybe your reading comprehension is... lacking? The gun was not his. Why are his parents not being held accountable for not securing the gun
asmasm
Um. Okay. "We need to focus on how the child got the gun!" You: "why isn't anyone asking how the child got the gun??" Keep it up I guess?

Don't trust Snopes
RawSuger
i couldnt find a snopes on this
ratfaceddog
Nah, trust the fabricated nonsense they debunk, instead.
Thisusernameisalreadyinusealso
They don't debunk, they fabricate more nonsense. Do the research yourself.
ratfaceddog
The only people who say that shit are the ones with an interest in perpetuating the bullshit. It’s not like you’ve provided any examples.
Thisusernameisalreadyinusealso
You're looking for a fight. I'm not interested in it. I simply invited people to research and think for themselves. You have broken rhetoric

Calling someone a fantasizing fetishist is not exactly civilized or calm. Either way, the good guy with a gun won and it was already illegal
asmasm
"The good guy with the gun won" is answered by the points above. 1, why was that necessary; 2, deterrence (a common argument) didn't work
Thisusernameisalreadyinusealso
Violence isn't always the answer but it's always relevant. You don't know what it did deter until now. Evil can't be legislated away.
TakWriterOfWorlds
A fetishist is different from a hobbyist or an enthusiast.
Thisusernameisalreadyinusealso
I think we all know this, what is your point?
TakWriterOfWorlds
Calling someone a fetishist is perfectly civilized and calm. It’s a pretty accurate description for some people.
Thisusernameisalreadyinusealso
Some, but not the majority. Stereotyping is bad for good discourse. Either way it's immaterial. Liberty is at stake, not recreation
ratfaceddog
What PC term for a fantasizing fetishist do you suggest?
Thisusernameisalreadyinusealso
I'm as politically incorrect as they come. That is not relevant. It is a backhanded attempt at demonizing the opposition. Which should stop.
bumpusfrancus
I agree.
darynu
Its a joke? He's using satire to emphasize a point, he doesn't literally think (most) pro gun people beat their meat to their guns
Thisusernameisalreadyinusealso
This isn't a joking matter. Today's society bases ethos on humor. Ergo the rise of comedy based news sources. It's dangerous
ratfaceddog
Haha, you’re as “politically incorrect as they come,” until you’re offended by somebody else’s words. That’s the point I was making. Thanks!
Thisusernameisalreadyinusealso
I don't think you understand anything. I suggest spending less time being argumentative on the internet.
ratfaceddog
It’s totally different when you’re the one whining about somebody’s words, isn’t it?
