the school in question was located in a Gun Free School Zone...this means absolutely nothing to a gunman looking to kill.
It means everything to a law abiding citizen who was unarmed at the time of the shooting.

the average response time for the police in Parkland Fl, according to their own web page documentation which I’ve included in the link is 5-6 minutes. This leaves the gunman 5-6 minutes of shooting with repercussion

if anyone in the proximity of this shooter had been allowed to carry a firearm this gunman would have been dead before killing so many students.

It absolutely is a result of the de-Christianization of this country. Even if you didn't personally believe, the overall morality of society kept most people in check. You can find rare instances of psychopaths and sociopaths committing mass murders like these, but mostly people understood that there were consequences to their actions. If you didn't believe in eternal punishment, there was swift corporal punishment. You didn't get 25 years of appeal after appeal from your free hippie legal team while you wasted away in prison corresponding with your groupies and watching MSNBC like mass murderers do now. Look up how quickly the Lindbergh baby kidnappers were brought to justice or the killers of Lincoln. Beyond that, there was also the shame that you brought upon your family and friends. Does that even exist now? I don't think so.

Not sure why you brought up the Catholic Church. America has always been Protestant, with a small Catholic minority. Just another typical strawman from people like you - atheists. A discussion of the ****/pederast scandal is a separate issue.

The Crusades were a just response to centuries of rape, murder, and banditry committed against Christians journeying to the holy land. I'm not surprised you don't know this. It fits with your lack of knowledge in many other areas (as you display here on the Misc). ISIS has nothing to do with God. We're talking about the USA. Islam is as foreign to our culture as toothbrushes are to yours.

Now, why don't you fuk off, you Scottish fairy.

yep all these 15 yr olds calling fox, cnn, nbc, like calm down, stop trying to get,fame, thats part of the reason people keep doing mass shootings, for the fame because they think they were losers their whole life, which they werent but society brainwashed them into it. The IRONY

Yup those Buddhists are suffering so much with out that Christianity.

I think its a relevant factor. faith, family, and a positive future. Basically whats happening is a certain subset of men, that dont have these things going for them and are otherwise just crazy with little to lose are prone to doing these acts of violence.

We were absolutely better off in these ways before, its never been worse for men to feel hopeless and worthless today, without family and religous guidance and a positive future.

However, my point is that it is precisely because of this fact that we cant allow our rights to be abused. We cant just ignore the fact that as things currently stand too many of these shootings are occuring for our tastes in 2018 so we need some changes

The US should study violent mass shooting statistics in other highly developed countries around the world. Compile the data and see why some highly developed countries in the EU for example have significantly lower mass shooting events. Then try to figure out why and mirror whatever it is that country does to minimize this all too frequent chitty event.

Oh wait, we already know. It's called gun control.

But keep herp derpin idiots. That AR15 is totally necessary to protect your ****ty studio apartment or gaming room in your parents suburban basement.

No civilian needs to own an assault rifle...Hand guns, hunting weapons (bows, shotguns, bolt action rifles, should be allowed only)

The UK is in the midst of an epidemic of stabbings and acid attacks. Humans adapt. Without guns, they'll find something else to use.

1. Other countries dont have a right to gun ownership embedded in their foundation

2. It's not about access to guns. It's about the kinds of people living in your country. Unless you honestly believe tons of people are just itching commit mass murder in other countries but since no guns they just play xbox instead. I mean get real.

So this kid wouldn't have shot up the school if he didn't have that evil "assault rifle?" A couple handguns would have been just as effective.

1. The amendment you so conveniently refer to is in reference to fukin muzzle loaded single shot muskets. You think the founding fathers would want any anxiety ridden, issue coping with reality, snotty sleeve 18 year old being capable of owning an assault rifle?

Dude speculated on doing this months ago... read the youtube comments under this video. Disturbing.

I never said that, do you think Stephen Paddock would've injured over 500 and killed 58 with a couple handguns spraying from that hotel room window though? What's more likely to cause mass casualties a weapon capable of shooting off 150 rounds a minute or a handgun capable of shooting off 30 or 40?

Why does the average civilian need to own an assault rifle? I'm genuinely asking this question

How about we first compare the number of lawful defensive gun uses, and figure out what we can do to increase those in other countries?

Citizens in other countries seem pretty satisfied that their kids arent getting shot up at school

Horrible stuff, hoping the best for everyone effected.

Cringe at the idiots who think belief or non-belief in religion makes any significant changes to one's character.

dude was a complete FA loser psychopath. Brutal instagram. Dunno why people wouldn't have reported this guy based on his instagram alone. Gotta be more vigilant with people who display these flags. Horrible tragedy.

I have no problem letting the other countries decide their own laws

He was a known threat, not to be allowed on campus wearing a backpack.

Knowing the guy might show up and kill everybody does you no good when you are a "gun free" criminal empowerment zone. Stop or I'll yell loudly!
