gun laws are for law abiding citizens not criminals. Murder is illegal but still happens.

This isn't the thread for this argument but this is just a terrible cop out.

The media/social media that gives these shooters instant fame is part of the problem, but I don't think there's a solution

Not in Florida!

They can only ask you to leave. Pretty sure LA is the same.

I'm listening/watching the KATC live online feed. This is what I just heard.

Older white male 60ish yeasts old. Committed suicide.

This was just a guy talking to a reporter.

I agree with stout except that I do think these things are more common because of the 24 hour news coverage. That and the fact that these guys become somewhat Internet infamous. Would-be criminals can read about every little minutia of these guys on the Internet after the coverage by the major news outlets turn of their cameras.

Scruffy debunked this years ago on the PT Board using FBI statistics.

We live in a time that is the most peaceful in probably 50+ years.

You just believe this is the case since news is more readily accessible.

I'm not trying to say that the world is going to shite or whatever the popular narrative is. I'm saying there needs to be something better done about gun violence in this country, I don't know the answer, but there has to be something.



I agree. I carry every day and think that good, law abiding citizens should have the right. But I also think that they should be trained.

That said, it will do nothing to stop violent people from doing violent things.

Honestly the only way to get rid of GUN violence is to remove GUNS.

But that won't happen.
