"There comes a certain point in life when you have to stop blaming other people for how you feel or the misfortunes in your life."
-Hugh Jackman


Tantrums as mentioned above.

Back in the day, people did not have the luxury to have mental conditions, they were too busy trying NOT to die.
Work the fields, or end up as fertilizer.

Now, if some dipwad's iphone battery doesn't last as long as its supposed to, or they get a crack in the screen, they take out a strip mall with a bazooka.

What they need to do is start showing lots of movies, tv shows and video games where people blow their heads off when they "lose it" rather than take out a bunch of innocents...

They need to make time-released meds in an implantable device so they can't "go off" it when they feel "sane"...

i hesitate to mention this, but i'd love to know what was on this guy's computer. emails, blogs, visits to web pages, games. i'm sure he's been to some of the same web sites i've been, played some of the same games, talked with friends about the same stuff, and yet we come to completely different conclusions. i've been frustrated with the world,(or my lack of coping skills) but have never, ever contemplated killing, much less killing innocents as a solution. i guess i don't really want to understand it. just a damn shame.

"Wow, taking it out of context. Gun owner? No.. People who carry guns on themselves for "protection" or to commit crimes. Are pussys with dick envy, yes. '

...and you turn around and do the same thing again.....

You sure sound like a typical bully. Show me some stats that people with permits for self protection commit any crimes. Ive never heard of a single mass murderer that had a CCP permit. Most dont even have the gun legally. Last few reported ones used stolen guns.

This will be my only contribution to this cess pool of a thread that completely dishonors the victims of the horrific violence today...

The "last few reported" mass shootings that you are citing as evidence does not appear to take into account one of the most recent mass shootings....
While James Holmes may not have had a CCP, he DID own his guns legally. Which just threw your argument out the window.

Keep slinging **** at each other. You are acting like a bunch of monkeys.

"Which just threw your argument out the window"

no, proved my point....that mass killers are not those with CCPs. The last few were with stolen guns. Maybe this one wasnt. I havent heard one way or another yet. I have my permit to defend myself/ others and my property. I have no desire to ever fire it at all. Before a theft prob 8 years ago, I owned a gun that I had never fired at all for 20 years. My last 3 CCP guns have never been fired at all. I just traded my last one on a better one that had only been fired once...by the factory for a test cartridge. I dont even go to a gun range. I have good self restraint...i have walked away from things that could have easily escalated just because it was possible and in everyones best interest. If im cornered I wont hesitate though. Id much rather spend money on toys than guns, but this is the time we live in. Ive never been or even had the desire to go out hunting for sport like a lot of guys. Im also not going to walk around in fear either.

This is just the way it is now. These people stopped at a red light and the guy behind them thought they should have made the light before it changed.

Wanna bet the shooter didnt have a permit ?
