Another Mass Shooting - New Year's Eve, Old Town Sacramento, CA

[SugarD]

No, I'm sorry because let me tell you: there's a direct causal link between violent culture and increased aggression and violence in adults and teenagers, so it flies in the face of all the culture and all the politics. Bellicist culture infact may get adolescents and teens more aggressive. You're saying that those mass shootings are ''people being stupid'', but that, that ain't the whole deal.

More than half of those mass-shootings were sparked by mentally-ill people who have nearly no understanding of the country's political structure, so that argument is completely null.

First you agreed with the idea that violent culture is the problem, now you are saying they were mentally ill? And yes you have a degree of politics (or ideology, whatever you want to call it) involved, as in a country where liberalism is probably the thing people are most proud of, you end up getting yourself a problem above an already existing problem...

Culture =/= politics. The two may have influence on one another, but they do not directly control each other.

How did they get the weapons in first place then?

I don't think being mentally-ill means hanging around with automatic rifles.

Illegally. Mentally-ill people aren't supposed to have access to them.

You still can't deny the system let him get them easily.

"The system" didn't give anyone illegal weapons. They illegally obtained them.

They spawned them. Right.

You've never heard of a black market, have you?

[Matt Murdock]

You're being sarcastic, right?

Not really, look at it, Harvard, Stanford. All are there!

Ever heard about legal weapons being sold illegally?

[Matt Murdock]

It's too late to ban guns. They are already swarmed all over the country. Airsoft weapons can be easily converted to lethal ones by an expert so that won't stop it at all. What needs to be done is to educate people about weapons which will take over 50 years. Though you can't totally blame the American people as the past governments wars against Korea, Vietnam, Iraq and elsewhere have altered the mind of the people, thus the current generation aswell.

According to this post, America can barely last 3 more years ^

Not in California, considering they thrive on restricting them. Either way, that still makes them illegal.

They were legal before though..
