I doubt the family and friends of the 4 dead people in this tragic shooting agree with the "beauty of it".

Freedom gives you the ability to shoot back. Or you can march like sheep to the slaughter.

Shooter was angry that he lost a video game competition. We're creating homicidal snowflakes with the asinine "everyone gets a trophy" mentality. /SMH

Its sad and unfortunate, but until our tyrannical govts gets public opinion changed enough to support a major crackdown on gun ownership, these things are going to continue to happen.

Its exactly what methodical conditioning is, the more shootings like this, the more people that change their mind and support tough control, its also very clever, its the only way to accomplish something like this without the risk of a major public uprising or revolution.

Who is going to slaughter me? Again, what freedom am I losing by not having guns around me?

I'm offering nothing other than people should arm themselves better, in order to possibly prevent the next one of these. You're not taking away my gun.

Never happen. 3D guns are coming soon, meaning folks can even make their own.

Guns are not complex to make.

We already have several hundred million in circulation, btw.
