FUck this fucking horrible world.

No it's not.
He said it's not economically viable. Yet that doesn't stop other economically viable things like pouring trillions into failed wars.
I.e. It's not a good argument.
it's horrible thinking of all the young lives lost
all those peoples' futures stolen from them :(
[QUOTE=verynicelady;38830231]Weapons don't cause violence. But if a mentally ill person has access to a semi-automatic weapon it does tend to mean more people are killed in the incident than if all he can find is a chef's knife, an ornamental sword or a baseball bat.[/QUOTE]
depends on the will of the person I'd say. It does aid them but I wouldn't say this is true 100% of the time.
Dr. Park Dietz's guide for news coverage is particularly relevant. Sadly news networks are making the same mistakes time and time again, purely for the sake of dramatization and narrative.

What % would you put it at?
"CBS News also reporting the suspect's name is 20-year-old Ryan Lanza, and that his mother -- a teacher at the school -- was among the dead."
What. The. FLYING FUCK.
I feel sick. I can't wrap my head around this.
" An official with knowledge of a shooting at a Connecticut elementary school says 27 people are dead, including 18 children. Sources have told ABC News that one shooter was 24 years old, was armed with four weapons, and was wearing a bullet proof vest. Police continued to look for an additional shooter, sources said. State police have confirmed to ABC News that two shooters were initially believed involved in the mass shooting"

There's a difference between a country paying for a war and paying to take citizen's property away from them.
You brought that in out of nowhere.

haha you just torpedoed your own argument because you lazily linked a wiki article and didn't bother reading it.

I never suggested such a thing.
Take that up with Atlascore and his brilliantly bad strawmanning

Many school shooters and for example Anders Breivik as we all know, they weren't total strangers to the Internet and the video games.
And what am I implying with this? Nothing, except that it's definitely notable.
New reports say he might have inflicted damage at multiple locations.
EDIT:
[B]2:28 p.m.[/B] The gunman in the Newtown, Conn., school shooting has been identified as Ryan Lanza, 24, of New Jersey. A dead body has also been found in his parents’ home, officials said. Lanza’s body was found in the school.

[QUOTE=Atlascore;38830323]Comparing the confiscation of firearms to multiple wars is just being stupid.
Not only will it cost a lot of money, it would cause massive riots, American's love their guns.[/QUOTE]
It'll never happen anyway, any political party who promises to bring guns back will win any future election straight off.

[QUOTE=soccerskyman;38830188]Arming and training every single citizen in the US to the point of perfection. Totally feasible.[/QUOTE]
You're taking someone's exaggeration which was done for EMPHASIS and understood it LITERALLY. Allowing people to buy guns =/= EVERYONE having guns.
People who want guns will go through the licensing process which definitely requires some base training and extensive background checks. Did you think he suggested that EVERYONE IN THE US should be "armed and trained" to the point of perfection? You don't have to be perfect at shooting to know that pulling out your gun and randomly shooting is stupid.

In all seriousness though, I fucking hate this world.
It seems like he killed his father at home, then went to the school to kill his mother
