Just watched the Lib Media, and they said that this guy played violent video games that gives points for killing people but then said not everyone who plays video games kills people. Then said it was easy to get guns and then said that people have learned to find anything they can use as a weapon to defend them-self like that is a good policy. Libs keeping America dumb for over 75 years.

Comis were the reason. Then rock and roll. Then rap. Now video games. Numerous studies have proven, violent video games don't breed violence. This was a 33 year old man. Younger then me by a year. I play call of duty and modern warfare, and I have no desire to go out to commit mass murder. Shooting 1s and 0s with other 1s and 0s isn't reality, and in no way does it blur that line.

You forgot about violent TV shows and movies.

They are blaming guns again.... From the initial reports the gunman started his attack using Joe Bidens approved firearm (aka a shotgun) and finished his attack with an AR-15 he took off the body of a D.C. policeman he had killed (along with his handgun).

12 Victims Killed, 8 Wounded in Shooting at D.C. Navy Yard, Suspected Gunman Killed | NBC4 Washington

I KNOW the media will ignore this and report that the evil assault rifle did it.....

Why Gun Control?

Because incompetent government can appear to be doing “SOMETHING” while avoiding responsibility for failure to vigorously prosecute crimes committed after the fact. You can never prove or disprove how much crime was prevented by a prohibition on liberty. The only death you can be sure of is the death of liberty.

Disarmament, even partially, only benefits the predators, armed or not. Frankly, no government can guarantee your safety. Nor can you sue them for failure to protect. Since your security is ultimately your responsibility, one can only question the real motive for government’s insistence on making the law abiding people helpless.

This guy was a nutcase who was being treated by the VA for "hearing voices". That should have stripped him from his clearance immediately. This is not about guns or videogames.

Violent video games in the United States are the cause while the same violent video games in Japan don't have the same effect.

Makes one wonder if it really is the obsession with guns in the United States. Nah, that couldn't be the problem. Just ask the NRA

Didn't this guy also have a concealed carry permit from the state of Texas. How in the world did he get thru the thorough background check that's performed before being issued a CCW?

I believe the root of most gun violence is ENTITLEMENTS... why? because most of them are angry they didn't get what they deserve... the culture of entitlement is rampant and destroying the country... we can thank liberals for that...
