Guns are the real issue. Without the gun, no one would have been shot.

There were school shootings 40 years ago too. Crime rates are lower today than they were 40 years ago as well. So looks like all those things you listed are actually making the US safer..

List of school shootings in the United States - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Relative Morality, outdated 10 Commandments, Abortion, and Evolution in Schools, and Atheism evidently has cut the violent crime rate by more than half.

If you read Freakonomics they attribute much of the reduction in crime due to Roe v Wade. They back it up, not just opinion.
 
Re: School shooting in Maryville, Washington

Another senseless tragedy. There's been a lot of that going around. :(

Honest answer? Most people won't like it.


We've spent close to 40 years teaching children....

... that they're super-special snowflakes who are entitled to everything good...

... that they're just highly evolved animals, not immortal souls...

... that there is no God, or if there is there is no judgment by him...

... that it is okay to kill innocent babies in the womb if they are inconvenient...

.... that things like the 10 Commandments are outdated and all morality is relative....


... and then we wonder why stuff like this happens?

Well, lots of other societies have trended toward atheism without schools becoming battlegrounds. In fact, I'd go so far as to say it's only happening in the US. I mean, the entire Western world is predominately atheist, except for nominally Catholic countries, and it's not a problem.

...it's ok to resort to violence to make things fair.

So throwing out Thou shall not kill and performing abortions have made things safer?? Interesting take to say the least, and what is weird is im approaching 50 and I personally dont recall all these school massacres that are taking place now. So im assuming what you're actually saying is things are getting better so dont sweat these massacres? You have to crack a few eggs to reach this vision of a atheistic utopia?? I would say give me your solution but you don't seem to think there's a problem.

I posted a list of school shootings, they go all the way back to the founding of the country. The reason why you don't recall them years ago is that 40 years ago we didn't have the internet, 24/7 news, blogs, and so on. A shooting a generation ago would make local news, but not always national news.

As to the rest of your post, I was responding to a post that blamed these shootings on abortion, moral relativism, taking God out of the society and so on. I merely pointed out the entire premise is flawed being violent crime has plummeted over the last 40 years. Point being, that lack of correlation always disproves causation. Moreover, I am pretty sure that people know murder is wrong regardless of whether we have a ten commandments monument in the town square or not.

There are 40 million gun owners in the United States. Your statement cripples under logic alone. A WARNING SIGN is something like a known inability to cope with heart break. Congratulations though. Way to dance of the graves of the dead. Instead of taking time to learn about this you want to score political points against the NRA. Good job.

Why the **** is this happening? Why the **** is this happening? Why the **** is the happening? Instead of partisan bull****, why aren't we collectively asking, why the **** is this happening, and then honestly and openly seeking an answer, no matter where it leads us?


Is it a prevalence of guns? Nonsense. Guns were more prevalent per capita in past eras, and this **** was not common.

Is it video games? I think no, but I don't really know? I mean, I play video games. And I've never shot up a school.

Is it bullying? Is bullying something new? Has bullying gotten worse? Is it because it's all online now?

Is it copy catting? Like, gee wiz, my life sucks, I'm gonna go all columbine on someone? Had this latest shooter even heard of columbine?

What are we doing wrong as parents? How are we erring so badly that are kids are homicidal maniacs?

Wait a while and find out.

Until then it's conjecture and a whole lot of bull****.

The sole purpose of guns is killing. Everyone who owns a gun voluntarily (without a reasonable need) wants to kill someone with it, even if it's in self-defense. Gun possession always is a sign of a dangerous individual.

Everyone that is 'known to have guns?'

ROFLMAO....we're gonna need a lot more government lackeys.

I prefer to pray for those in pain today and to not wish the same ill on others.

Sounds like you dont have to be a gun owner to have 'blood lust.'

Aside from that being some of the saddest lunacy I've read online ever, who should decide which Americans have a 'reasonable need' to exercise their 2nd Amendment Right?

btw, I own guns for self-defense and recreation. The last thing I EVER EVER want to do is kill anyone. I just dont want to be harmed or killed. Are you suggesting I should allow someone to do so to me? Or wait for the cops, when they are more than 10 minutes away? (Presuming I can even call them.)

So....wrong again.

Probably because knee jerks posts like the following #44 prove me right as rain

in many cases, like Aurora or Newtown, the body count would have been much lower

You see Stonewall - I make a smartass comment - an intentional in your face smartass comment - about everybody having an uzi and I did so because I am so sick of the normal "gun free zone" diarrhea that you inevitably see in these threads that I thought I would make a pre-emptive strike. But even with that there are those on the right who cannot contain themselves.

So I was proved correct.

So save your advice for somebody else.

post 44 proved me right . The old saw is true- give them enough rope and they will hang themselves. They really can't help it.

One case of Ebola and quarantine imposed on free individuals. Another school shooting, and dead children are scorned. Just another day in paradise.

If you really believed the crap you spew you'd be afraid to spew it lest some gun owner would shoot you

that you constantly insult gun owners means you really don't believe the vast majority of them are anywhere near as dangerous as you pretend we are.

I know target shooters who ONLY own guns for target shooting. SO you again are WRONG
