I'm certain not one of these people has ever admitted to doing what they did for publicity, if they were doing it for publicity they wouldn't off themselves after killing.

There was a report posted in the main thread that talked about motivations. That may not be the case here, but becoming infamous is a major motivating factor with these mass shootings.

Anyone that uses a tragedy like this to gain political leverage is a piece of shite.

this doesn't happen in other first world countries. I'm sorry, but we need to start the gun control process.

I'm aware that rednecks LOOOOVE THEIR GUNS but the British landowners LOOOOOVED THEIR HUNTING and that has come and gone. It's time to get rid of the guns.



Learn from the LEGEND Ricky Gervais, mates. If Britain can end the hunts we can end the "LUV AWER GUNNNZZZZ YEEEHAWWWWW!!!!"

Humans want to be remembered and this is an easy way for depressed, suicidal people.

There are studies on this.

Humans have committed mass murder for centuries; it's not the media.



You're delusional if you don't think the media is a primary contributor. Tons of people seek glory, and it's now more easy to achieve fame than ever before. If you're a complete psychopath that doesn't really give a frick about dying or going to jail, then why not shoot up a theater or a church when you're going to get true power and glory after going through with it? I mean seriously, if I want to be particularly notorious and scare the shite out of everyone to where they'll be afraid to go to a fricking movie theater, why wouldn't I go kill people there?

If you let these people know they're truly powerless in the end and what they're doing is a waste of time, then they wouldn't go murder strangers in mass numbers. Yeah, we'll have the occasional Jeffrey Dahmer, but in the course of a month, we've had 3 mass murders. 1 I think was for Allah, but 2 were for glory. Something has to change, and the fact that mass murders have taken a large upturn since Columbine, and the way the media covered that, I think there's a pretty good chance that the exposure these murderers get is pretty correlated.

What kind of stupid post is this? We have no idea what happened yet. Worse, people are hanging on for their lives right now and you make a moronic post like this?

DUDE it has to start somewhere.

If we had started the process after the Lennon or Reagan assassinations/attempts in the early 1980's we'd be there by now.

Yes, it sounds ludicrous to say that "gun control" can work in 2015. But as Steven Tyler says, "ya have to learn ta crawwwwwwel before ya learn to wallllllk".

I'm quite certain all the gangs we have to live with in the cities would gladly comply with stricter gun control.

Rural rednecks aren't the only people who value the 2nd.

I agree 100%. It shows a 100% if it's a white on black crime mass. They put what you want to hear instead of what you need to hear

Zimmerman case was a great example.

The Colorado shooter started shooting the second Batman showed up on screen, rigged his apartment to blow the second the cops showed up, and took on a personification of the Joker. Not one of these people did it for publicity?!?! Really?!??! I guarantee that that is the primary motive for murdering people in a public place in mass numbers. They are all smart enough to know that they're not getting away with it and they'll either be in jail or get immediately kill. Glory is the only thing these frickers care about.
