Totally agree. Quit putting dope heads and mentally ill people in jail for misdemeanor crimes and start putting them through rehab/treatment

Well shite went down and all these frickin' dirty harry types, with their glocks and shite ran and hid just like the rest of us would've.




Well, they were out gunned for one. That doesn't mean they can't hide and protect several people if he decides to come in their direction. Being armed also means being responsible.

So because this situation wouldn’t have been ideal for someone who was concealed carrying, it's pointless? 


Look man I'm pro concealed carry. I'm just not gonna pretend it fricking matters, because it doesn't.

If folks need the psychological comfort of walking around town with a fricking pistola, fine by me.

All 3 certainly contribute to mental illness


Or maybe the mental illness is triggered by those 3 as well as a host of other things in society.

If people are going to make the argument that you’re born gay, which is a mental illness, then that’s no different than saying you’re born with a mental illness and society triggers actions that cause you to act on those tendencies

So have methods of communication and transmission of information.

We can talk about my guns when CNN, NYT/WAPO, Google and Facebook submit themselves to government censorship





What website has the real truth of this shooting?

None of what you stated was a fact. It’s your opinion.

Yeesh, you mental midgets. I'll let you poors lay. Have a great night.

Prayers to all the dead and wounded, maybe one day this country will get it's head out of the sand and take action.

I was in target today when I first read about this. It was packed with back to school shoppers as were a few other stores.

This I agree 100%

Problem is, we don’t have enough mental institutions or qualified people to deal with the amount of the mentally ill population

Yea let’s find some other innocent person to get mad at!!!


It's difficult to ignore what appears to be a person on the scene of a fresh mass shooting walking around filming while others lie dying and seemingly one small lady tries to get bystanders to help turn victims over and help with compressions.

Hopefully the critical needs of your loved ones are never ignored in favor of documenting his or her tragedy to post on social media.

This is not a Rebulican or Democrat thing.

It's not a black or white thing.

It's not a gun control thing.

It may not even be a parenting thing.

Some people are just bat shite crazy. Are they more crazy than 25 years ago?

I have no idea.


Everyone tries to lay blame in these situations to one thing. When in reality, it’s a series of misfortunes, failures, and oversight in their life that led to this.

It’s basically the “swiss cheese effect”. Where if you stacked 20 slices of Swiss cheese on top of each other, the chances of you seeing the table through overlapping holes is very slim. But it’s still possible.

Those 20 slices are all factors that bring someone to commit mass murder and you need all 20 to click...otherwise it never happens.

Gladwell talks about this in one of his books.

I never once said that.

I just was just curious as to what political affiliation he and his family were. I was just gathering information

Get ready, the media will end up tying this to trump. It's disgusting really. If I lost a loved one due to this fricking sicko and all they can do is politicize it, I would be pissed off.

Everyone was acting professionally until they handed the microphone to the Congresswoman.

And the belief that a ban would “do something about this” is your opinion.
