  anyone in the usa following this morning's shooting "on-air" live tv will know what i'm talking about.

  bryce williams (not real name, but on-air name) shot and killed 2 people on live television this morning in roanoke, va. he was wearing a go-pro camera, and uploaded his first-person video onto his social media accounts.

  i've seen his twitter feed (before it was taken down), and not very far down he mentions being raised a jw.

  I am going to extricate myself from this thread. It's a very sad emotional thing that happened. But some of the accusation now flying are also emotional in nature. The discussion of gun control was not started by a pro gun "nut". Also saying things like "gun nuts" and American shoot each other all the time show this is not a thread of logical discussion but purely emotional.

  I own a gun. I don't give a rats ars about the nra, Charlton Heston, or any of the debate. I'm not pro gun I'm not anti gun. I hear a lot of people who I'm sure have no history with firearms or dealing with law enforcement preaching a lot of "knowledge". No I won't use my firearm to go on one of our infamous American rampages. But I will say this. If a wacko like Vester Flanagan breaks into my home and intends to hurt my family, and I have a gun in one hand and a phone in the other. I'm using the gun. Police in America are good at three things. Writing reports. Writing tickets. And shooting unarmed kids. An insane person looking to harm you isn't going to sit around for 45 minutes for the police to show up that you just called. Let's be real.

  That being said my condolences to the friends and families of these premeditated horrors that were broadcast to the world. It's incredibly tragic.

  Not true. Statisticaly developed European countries have worse stats and they have more restrictive policies. Those numbers are available with a quick Google search.

  Again America is huge 320 million people. Don't let the scale scew the facts

  I am not advocating for guns.

  I don't care either way. But when people make statements in a bias manner that is not based on rational logical information, I want to support reality. They can ban guns, I could care less. Hopefully nothing I say is taken as such. I advocate for only me, and not some broad sweeping platform. I just see a biased pattern here.

  Someone does something so heinous and despicable and immediately it is eluded to that america is still the wild west.

  I have read and looked at statistics and I will agree there is problem with murder and gun violence. However is america #1 as everyone implies? America has the most guns per capita of any country. thats a fact. They are not #1 when it comes to gun deaths, or even mass shooting statistics based on population and such.

  The gun issue does not begin with any pro gun person. Some WILL say well americans walk around shooting each other, thats just what they do. NOT REALLY. I am not supporting right to bare arms, I am supporting if you are going to protest it, use facts please.

  It is of note to that the idiot that shot the news team expressed admiration for Eric Harris & Dylan Klebold of columbine fame, and Seung-Hui Cho, of the virginia tech shooting.

  So this does lend to what I said earlier about how columbine changed everything, think about it.

  After that, gun violence has declined (statistically) in america, however copy cat rampages have increased a great deal.

  It's not a gun problem. It has three parts

  Country full of guns (you can't unring that bell)

  Mental Health problems

  and Media creating evil superstars out of mass shooters.

  The guns amplified his capacity to harm others.

  
  ok... take away the guns, would that have changed anything?

  when you say "easy access" that has 100% nothing to do with law. its about determination.

  I could drive into Canada from america and i guarantee you within 24 hours I could purchase a gun on the street illegally. technically access wouldn't be easy. Easy access is an illusion.

  none of you think like criminals, and thats a good thing I suppose. But they love prohibitions. banning things does not make things "harder" for black markets. It makes people richer.

  My experience was with a lot of people who didn't even have jobs living on the streets.
