The incident happened just after 3 p.m. near the intersection of 3rd Ave. West and West Nickerson Street. Police report two victims were at Otto Miller Hall. [/quote]
What's going on recently? I've heard about 4-5 incidents like this in the past two weeks alone. Three of them in the last two days.
US really needs to do something about these school shootings Edit: Yes, helping out these mentally unstable people would be a good start
WTF. It seems like all the nut-jobs coming out of the garage as they hear on TV that, there are more like them.

[QUOTE=Blazedol;45010851]Easier said than done[/QUOTE] Like anything is easy to do without idiots stirring shit up. If US government lacks the courage to do something about all these years of kids dying because they don't want people protesting against their decisions then I feel sorry for the future of your country. And if you have a bunch of gun nuts that threaten using weaponry if some gun laws are implemented, then you should really do something about that because those aren't the type of people you should entrust weapons with. Edit: Sorry it's dumb to not want to give weapons to people who'll kill you because they don't share your opinion.
looks like america has a new past time now

You've got the people who go shove their AR-15 and bubba'd guns down peoples throats in fast food joints and Toys'R'us, and then on the other side you got anti-gun people who go out and deliberately lie to people to try to get them to ban guns.
[QUOTE=Winner;45010868]better gun laws[/QUOTE] Considering that guns are basically written all over your constitution, that's.. Impossible said than done.
[QUOTE=Winner;45010868]better gun laws[/QUOTE] Yeah, but even if tighter restrictions where enacted stuff like this would still happen - just not on as large as a scale. I mean, look at that kid in Pennsylvania, he stabbed 20+ kids with a knife. The problem isn't the weapons, it's the people who have (and use) them.
[QUOTE=Winner;45010868]better gun laws[/QUOTE] like what
fucking white people
[QUOTE=Bat-shit;45010969]Considering that guns are basically written all over your constitution, that's.. Impossible said than done.[/QUOTE] Not really. The constitution has changed for the better of the country in the past (the Prohibition was amended out after being amended in if I recall). It's not impossible, but when you combine a fairly young country with the weird gun culture it's certainly a uphill struggle.

All of the major news networks sensationalize and blast xyz shootings on 24 hour marathons, which is the problem. Then you get mentally unstable people that see the news about said gunner shooting someplace up and they get the idea to do the same thing or worse. HIPPA is another big problem because it prevents mentally unstable or challenged people from getting proper care because they must give consent to another party for their treatment, which is difficult or impossible in most cases. Gun advocates have every right to protest skewed and "feel good" laws from being passed, like gamers had the right to protest Jack Thompson from introducing legislation to ban violent video games because a few people went on a shooting spree after playing them.
So I might be talking out my ass here, but with 4 victims, this seems like it was personal. Not like Columbine killing spree shootings.
[QUOTE=JoeSkylynx;45010999]like what[/QUOTE] The solution is simple, no citizen should be allowed to own guns. Fuck the 2nd amendment, it was written for a world that doesn't exist now. Just look at Australia. Give people a year to hand in all of their weapons or else face imprisonment or other harsh punishments. Of course that's never going to happen because the average pro-gun american values their weekend hobby more than people's lives.

The bastion of great works when it comes to gun control! Oh wait. They had a spike in normal crimes, have made laws to prevent bikers from having trade jobs, and the laws have hardly stopped people from getting firearms. It has actually opened up a new underground industry that manufactures far more dangerous weapons such as homemade bombs and automatic weapons. How about China! Wait, they actually have the same issue as Australia... People are producing illegal firearms in a "gun smuggling region" and multiple events to show the success of gun control have had incidents in which mafia families organize mass-shootings inside of the events to terrorize the local population as well as the Police. I fail to see any success. When people begin manufacturing items that are far more dangerous to the standard semi-auto or bolt-action, gun control has failed.

[QUOTE=ccg;45011278]When Australia did that people who didn't want to give their guns up just buried them in their backyards or something.[/QUOTE] Didn't they recently find a farming community that had a stash of like 60 to 100 firearms and a few hand grenades? Can't remember exactly where it was, but supposedly the farmers buried their firearms in some old unused barn house on someone's land, and everyone kept their mouths shut until the police came looking a few years later.

Removing our guns would cause more of a problem than keeping them because anyway you look at it a criminal is going to have one anyway, leaving a lot of people to be sitting ducks. and don't say leave it to the cops because the cops are lazy and sometimes corrupted pieces of shit(i've almost been arrested for the most ludicrous shit. But i know my rights so that saves my ass), that takes 25 - 30 minutes to even respond.

[QUOTE=seano12;45011108]Mental health reform.[/QUOTE] Can someone please tell me what "mental health reform" means. Cause whenever anyone talks about gun control being part of a solution people always pile on them and say "no fix mental healthcare instead. Never ever talk critically about guns" but then none of those people actually elaborate on how, exactly, they'd treat the abstract problem of "mental illness." Mandatory mental health screenings for every American once a year? Prozac and Thorazine in the water supply? Correct me if I'm wrong but Elliot Rodger was seeing a therapist and that didn't magically inhibit his shooting. There are a number of things we can do, as a society, to help the mentally ill and keep some of them from turning to violence but shouting "mental healthcare" and then walking away whenever anyone talks about gun control won't help anything. "Whatever it is, it has nothing to do with guns" isn't actually any kind of solution...
