Perhaps you could stop giving the shooters the attention that they crave by obsessing over random acts of violence.
werent you the same one going on and on about knockout game and saying how there is a media bias for not bringing it up, yet you dont want this reported.
Who cares? Apparently school shootings are Americas preferred method of population control considering how no one is going to do a damn thing about it expect to blame guns, claim guns are that answer; drugs are bad drugs are great; the mentally unstable need treatment, banning guns from the mentally unstable is a blow against freedom or some variation on all the above.
School shootings are just an American right(sic) of passage, just like Bar Mitzvahs, quinceaneras, and sweet sixteen parties, just like fraternity hazing and date rape.
I rode a greyhound bus from Colorado 3 weeks ago and passengers were smoking pot at the station stops. I kid you not. Same passengers didn't do that when we got to New Mexico.
Awful lot of those green plus signs. It seems pot must be the best thing going for a headache or stubbed toe.
I live in the safest city in the whole world and drugs are illegal here --- guns however are quite legal. Many people claim that it's only the drug laws that make for violence.
Which city would that be? Really? Safest city in the whole world?
El Paso -- one of the most impoverished cities in the USA, legal guns but drugs aren't legal in Texas. Ironically our sister city is one of the more violent cities and drugs are decriminalized there and guns are illegal.

Yeah except Libs aren't focusing on random acts of violence. They only focus on the shootings that happen in schools or in wealthy neighborhoods. They pay no mind to the druggies and gang thugs that get shot and killed on street corners every hour in this country.
Their Faux outrage should be dismissed for what it is.... a farce.

There is nowhere in the US (that I know of) where guns are illegal.

It's not "The Safest City in the World."

By email, Vogt pointed out a Feb. 5, 2013, press release from the city of El Paso stating that for the third straight year, El Paso had the lowest crime-rate ranking among U.S. cities with populations over 500,000, according to the 2013 CQ Press report.
A single report by a single entity compared to US cities of a certain size. Drugs are no more legal in El Paso in 2011 than in any other city in 2011 in the list. Guns were not illegal in any of the cities on the list.
Overgeneralization like this is a form of lying to oneself, and shows a lack of integrity.
i dont blame guns either. everybody has a gun in switzerland, its required for military service which all people are required to do as the swiss do not have a standing army.
the problem is that it's so easy to acquire a gun here. you dont have to prove you are a responsible person to own one.
americans are also more violent in general then other people, particularly young white males that you always see being the shooters in these instances.

Just not a felon. You don't have to 'prove you're a responsible person' to exercise your other constitutional rights, either.
