Exactly, the guys crazy, you cant explain what he did.
And since we didnt capture him alive we will never have a chance to find out.
Shit, we've had Manson in jail for like 40 years and we still dont know exactly whats wrong with him. He's always screwing with the prison psychologists and any reporter that talks with him.

Why is it when things like this come up, people are so quick to want to blame some mental illness? Why can't people realize there are just evil people in this world that want to do harm to others?

His "mental illness" had him kill his mom, then drive to a school to start killing adults then go on to killing little kids then take his own life? I can't wrap my mind around this. What "mental illness" is this anyways?

Why did he not kill himself after his mom? Why did he not kill neighbors after his mom then himself? Why did he not just kill himself? Why did he have to kill 20+ people then himself?

Because he had guns and bullets and it was easy to do for him. If he didn't have them he would have just did himself in and that would have been the end. Everyone that opposes a ban on guns has blood on their hands today. There is no need for people to own guns.

Let's see how well banning video games goes over.

All this looking for blame rather than realize evil is just evil.
 
We need bans and harsh restrictions on violent video games. We also need to start rating movies as Adult Only again, especially all the Quentin Tarantino movies. Those are nothing but snuff films. Orgies of murder for people to masturbate to.

Part of my ownership is to defend myself. Am I worried about this happening, not really. But it is my right. I don't understand why this is a difficult concept to grasp.

Makes sense. More often than not they are seeking attention. Thats why they do it in public places in the middle of the day.

It's not difficult to grasp. You just shouldn't have that particular right, it's not necessary in this day and age. If you are in trouble just call 911.

That's a great way to teach personal responsibility to children.

There is no need for people to own guns.

Sure there is. People target shoot for fun, compete, train, carry, collect, build, hunt, and defend with guns.

and gun control is telling the hunter, home defender, and average enthusiast or collector he can't have the gun because the crazy nutcase can't be responsible with one.
 
Well over 100,000 citizens a year defend themselves with handguns (95 of cases don't have any shots fired), and these are only the reported cases. Facts continually point toward the effects of ownership which is why laws are moving in the right direction recently. Anyone wanting to ban all guns... how well does that work with illegal drugs? So only criminals will own firearms in your stupid little world.

.22 long is much smaller and less powerful.

Its also the most popular round for kids rifles. I've got a single shot Remington thats practically a toy.

Yep. I grew up shooting 22 since I was 9.

Now we're talking about how scary a gun looks. Evil black rifle with zero concept of what a rifle is.

Very ignorant post.

You really believe this kid wouldn't have been able to get a hold of a gun if guns were banned?

You realize it would mean guns only banned for ordinary law abiding citizens.

Nut jobs and outlaws would be the only ones with the guns.

Not sure. If guns were banned and I was selling illicit weapons I sure as shit wouldn't sell them to some psycho that was guaranteed to bring massive amounts of law enforcement my way.

So you'd expect a grey market dealer to have higher standards than the FBI?

You are confusing need with want. People don't need to do the things you listed but they want to do them "for fun". Wanting to have "fun" is not a legitimate reason to have guns and have all these people dead.
It's not the wild west anymore. We should take example from the British ban all guns except for the military. Have severe prison sentances for enyone who has any sort of weapon or bullets.

Sure it is. Do people NEED alcohol? No. Do people WANT it? Sure.

But banning alcohol would prevent 11,000 drunk driving fatalities every year.

Are you fine with punishing all the responsible alcohol drinkers out there to save some lives?
