7 dead, 7 wounded in Santa Barbara shooting rampage

Why? You're the one who needs to be educated.

 

Once again resorting to personal attacks due to your inability to counter anything posted on topic.

 

As the investigation unfolds, it is becoming clear that the young man who did the shooting had some deep-seated issues. Seems like we see this trend over and over with mass shootings and other such events.

Society needs to learn that these individuals need help, not to tossed aside in the corner someplace as misfits who don't meet some artificial standard. If these people can be helped before reaching the point of no return, then maybe these incidents won't happen as often.

 

Now you're just lying and trolling. And the personal attacks? Tsk, tsk ...

 

Because guns aren't necessary.

 

Yeah Dr. Crane. Tsk, Tsk.

 

“I don’t care about your sympathy. I don’t give a s--- that you feel sorry for me,” Richard Martinez said during an extensive interview, his face flushed as tears rolled down his face. “Get to work and do something. I’ll tell the president the same thing if he calls me. Getting a call from a politician doesn’t impress me.”

Hottie "Lit the fuse" ...

Bullshit, says Slate.

 

It was a fair point and part of the discussion. It is not my fault that you made that unclear by editing out the valid parts when you quoted me.

You are still claiming there is no comparison in YankeeFan's argument, so you clearly need to be educated on the manner. That is not a personal attack. That is very much on topic.

You could also use some help in understanding what trolling is and in judging when another poster is lying. In this case, you were 0-for-2.

YankeeFan is comparing the First and Second Amendments. More importantly, and far more ridiculous, is his comparison of the ability to kill with a gun and the ability to kill by reporting a story.

 

Name one coherent and/or supported point you've made on this thread.
No one cares you're unhappy a useless entertainer like Seth Rogen is even offhandedly under attack for lousy movies he has made.

 

I find it astounding that you, in front of this entire forum, continue to pose as if you believe that he actually did that. It's an OOP-esque trilemma ... you're either lying, trolling or incredibly, mind-bendingly, teeth-achingly stupid.

 

I wish I could tell Mr. Martinez that he ain't pissing in the wind. But I've observed how it actually works for far too long. To the extent this motivates anyone to push for stricter gun laws, it will only counter-motivate the NRA and pro-gun lobbyists to throw more money at politicians and we'll see, if anything, only the opposite results.

It makes no rational sense, but it seems to be how it works, every time there's a Sandy Hook type moment that people think will be the "tipping point" on the gun control issue, not only are they wrong but the opposite usually happens: gun laws are further loosened instead of tightened. Don't look for logic in it, there is none. But it is how it works.
