Another mass shooting...

You know the drill. 

It's too soon to talk about gun control.

Let's blame it on violent video games.

inb4 D1 claims it's a false flag.

Thoughts and prayers from all of our politicians.

I like how the people commenting on the article are already assuming the political inclination of the perpetrator based on nothing.
Math is the language of the universe.

The inability to explain something is not proof of something else.

We don't speak for reality - we only observe it. An observation can have any cause, but it is still no more than just an observation.

When in doubt; sources!

I'm glad they got the shooter. I've been trying to find new information, but I guess it's just not out there yet.
I'm sorry. Am I to understand that when you have a boner you like to imagine punching the shit out of Tom Bishop? That's disgusting.

I don't know enough about this incident to say. But we're losing more people to random lunatics with guns than to Islamic terror by an order of magnitude. I think some stronger measures are in order. But I'm sure nothing will be done.

Well, if you're going to complain about people who say it's too soon to talk about gun control, it doesn't help your case if you don't have details to even make a gun law preposal.

My complaint is that conservative politicians often use the excuse of "it's insensitive to the victims to talk about this" as a tactic to deflect from even having the conversation.

There's no need for us to deflect. The facts are on our side. We just think standing on the yet to be cold bodies  to promote your (not you specifically but in the general sense) political agenda is a bit insensitive.

It would be right to say it is insensitive to talk about gun control soon after the events. Also policy should never be driven by people who are emotional charged. Instead it should be by cool level headed people who can look at everything objectively

I guess the issue is, we know they will NEVER look into it with any seriousness. I guess people aren't calling out for gun control just because of this event. They are calling for it still since the 'Sandy Hook massacre' and even prior.

But these mass shootings are pretty small scale

Today, 100odd people will die by a gun in the US (self inflicted or not). Yesterday was no different and tomorrow will be the same story. That's 100 different families grieving every day for someone's loss before their time. Nothing enlightened about that

Why would that be inciting terrorism?  Lorddave was merely describing a type of shop we have here in the US, a bomb-gun shop.  A shop that sells bomb-guns.

I see that my country has over twenty times the amount of fire arms related homicides than yours does. If it were up to you would you like to see the same level of access to guns in your country as I have in mine?

Very true. But it isn't absolute. You wouldn't want a citizen to have his own icbm program and you wouldn't want to declare butter knives illegal. So where is it reasonable to draw the line?

You are never truly "free". Not in any society that has ever functioned. In every society compromises have to be made to keep its people safe and to aid progress. Frankly the US situation is silly. It's pretty obvious that very few people would give a shit were it not for the gun companies that would lose their greatest market.

I agree.
Also, the 'muricans are not free in the sense of them getting hardcore propaganda and influence from the gun companies, so most of the 'muricans are not willing to accept stricter gun control, although most of them would only profit from it.

Which countries are you talking about?

We not only have the constitutional right--we, like everyone, have the human right.  All our Constitution does is recognize this right and explicitly prohibit its infringement.

Australia and the UK.  In fact pick any country other than the USA.

Presumably the "we" you are referring to is the USA?  You might not have noticed, but people from other countries also post on the interwebs, and they might have different ideas to you about what rights people possess.

Either way, human rights are just rights that groups of humans have agreed amongst themselves and then enshrined in law.  Nobody is born with the right to posses a particular weapon.

Do you think you are born with the right to posses (and use) a Abrams tank, a cruise missile system or a thermonuclear weapon?  If you don't (and you'd be a lunatic if you did) then we both agree that a civilisation should restrict which weapons it's citizenry should use, we just disagree on which weapons.  Nothing to do with fundamental rights.

Replace cnn with MSM and Facebook and you probably are close. Something to the effect of "there is so much Christian bashing on aethiest, MSM, and Facebook sites that it led him to this." That's obviously wring as it was an inside job in order to sow discord in peoples' faith organizations and make them question whether they should attend church or not.  Or it was an inside job to drum up evangelical support by uniting Christians behind the boogeyman of atheism.
