Crazy people are going to do what crazy people do. It sucks we'll probably never know this guy's issues before he pulled the trigger. I wonder if improving mental healthcare is more promising than trying to control guns.

The problem is our country decided decades ago we don't want to pay for mental health anymore. Maybe we'll see the light. It won't just help gun violence, but drug epidemic too.

justincredible;1874371 wrote:Yep. Feel free to start a thread in the politics forum if you want to discuss the merits of gun control.

And thank you for removing that moron.

Lets now discuss how it was able to happen. Let isadore back in for that conversation.

BoatShoes;1874398 wrote:IMHO this simply a matter of hysterical left-wing whataboutism. Rather than focus on the tragedy at hand. Elements of the left want to play gotcha with those on the right who they perceive as demanding everything involving a Muslim mass shooter be referred to as terrorism vs. the claim that the right appeals to "lone wolves" or "mental health" when the shooter is white.

A good example,might have been constant complaints from the right that Obama referred to the fort hood shooting as workplace violence or would say "act of terror" vs. "Radical Islamic Terrorism."

Frankly IMHO the whole semantic dispute is pretty much public discourse at its very worst.

Heretic;1874446 wrote:Yeah, especially reading how they figured it out -- from smoke detector recordings due to the smoke coming off his guns from firing them. That's impressive, because this nut apparently had the guns and ammo to keep going a long time if no one get to him first. 4-5 minutes (what I heard recorded) had to be a hell of a long time for anyone stuck there, but that kind of response is pretty incredible, all things considered.

I doubt he shot 515 people
