lol. I would say you've missed pretty much 1/2 the story. And his name was Rodger. No "s".

Doncha just love it when people say they are basically unaware of the story because they've been travelling, but then jump into a discussion without a clue?

Irrelevant and tangent comment. That is what happens to fanatics when facts do not fit their view.

No I don't know that. Show us that statistic and how it is measured.

How many could he have killed with the knives or even his car before it came to an end?
Why'd he stop shooting since he had so much ammo? Did his trigger finger get tired? What prompted him to stop his murderous spree? Anything? Someone?

Why does "what they were killed with" have to do with anything? People were killed...how they were killed seems to matter to the left. If it's by knife...bahhhh who cares....

Just like saying...30,000+ people last year were killed with guns....yep...but half were self inflicted...
You think the left doesn't care about gang related killings? You do realized that innocent bystanders get caught in those statistics.

That's it in a nutshell. Examples of the resgrictive was already on the books have been given, insofar as guns, the fact that these laws are applied more to average citizens, not true criminals , is a fact. Present things like this for consideration, and the insults and non sequitur rhetoric flow like wine at an Italian wedding, you are called a moron or backwoods philosopher, which is a nice excuse to not answer the bloody questions!!! It has been said , here, that it is impossible to discuss issues like this with firearms owners ( gun nuts all) and the frothing, rabid spew directed at us is ignored. Perfectly rational stuff I guess.
This kid was the product of the society that liberal coddlers are building. The entitlement mentality. Rewarding failure and teaching young people that there is no such thing as failure. Propping them up, until their own legs won't hold them.
You start giving a strange dog treats, them one day you don't have any, dog gets mad and bites you. This kid expected that EVERYTHING would be spread out for him, to sample at his leisure. Even relationships with women. But, he was in the real world now. With nobody there to prop him up and powder his azz, telling him that his failures were not his fault, he lost it. Young people today are taught this way. That they need not work for the things in life they want. Others should be there who DO have these things, and should share their success with them.
Be had no strength of character, no drive to succeed, no will or desire to do for himself. There are millions more out there, just like him. They even come up with catchy new "diseases" to hang on this. "Affluenza"?! With no sense of independence, no will to deal with making mistakes and pulling themselves through, they are sent into the world with a pat on the rear and a box of baby wipes. And the rabbit breed minds that created them, true to form, blame someone else. In this case, gun owners. Amazing. What a cycle of reconstituted dung....

If nobody in the store was armed, probably a lot of people could be killed by swinging a machete.

I'm not sure what that has to do with anything, but since you asked...............

They were all killed with iron.

Maybe it's time to shut down Iron Mountain.

Just throw everything in the air to loft in a cloud.

Watch out for chemtrails, though.

Of course they do, but what is the left going to do about those gang related shooting?

Add more laws for the law abiding gun owner?

Don't you see a flaw in that thinking?
