People don't want to be exposed to fragility of life and how much irresponsibility can make it more so than it is already.
To the point that they will deny it's a problem.

does he have some insider info on the races of the shooter and victims or something?
Mass shooting story is a mass shooting story.
What story are you trying to run?
Nvm I see the implications.
Except for all the additional airplane related terrorism that never happens and we never hear about because security acts as a deterrent.
This is common sense shit.
Yep, I live in the UK and regularly work near farmyards on my ecology job. We check landowners won't be shooting foxes on our night jobs for example. People who legitimately need guns for their livelihoods still have them.
Anerica, you're sick. Please get help. It's even beyond disgusting now.
Wish I hadn't watched the video. Fuck, man. Waiting for the inevitable inaction on the part of state and federal governments.

We don't know it was because he lost. It says he lost, but motive is hard to determine. Why was he carrying a gun in the first place?
I would rather wait for more info. Sounds like I'm arguing over semantics, but I'd rather be accurate.
You want to put metal detectors in every place people can possibly enter? That's not reasonable at all.
Pretty much.I hate how relevant this is every time there is a shooting, but it is:
The way to stop this isn't rocket science. Nearly every other civilized nation in the world doesn't seem to have a problem figuring it out. The problem is that this country has fetishized guns and the 2nd amendment to such an extreme degree that you have a fairly sizable (but not near majority) population of deranged gun "enthusiasts" (really just nuts) and politicians who are too scared (because of their wallets) to not pander directly to them.
As a non-American this shit is frankly baffling as the years go by.
Pretty much everything you said is untrue, at least in the case of my country (and of course many more). I don't think we had any mass shootings in 50 years outside of a bank robbery gone violent in 2002 - and even that is absolutely different from a guy strating to shoot in a school or concert.
Edit: apparently sarcasm - I didn't get it, sorry.
The thing about Rubio is if you read between the lines when he did that Parkland special, he basically said that he's caught up in a game and has been bought and sold to represent morally and ethically flawed interests in relation to gun lobbying and that these kids are maybe our last hope in changing course.
I really do think he admitted in the least embarrassing way possible that he's a pawn and a coward.
Honestly, I disagree. Politics are shifting now and new generations rise up that are exposed to this thing frequently. Things change.
I am no longer surprised, or shocked, that this happened. Nowdays I just get angry that the coward that did this just killed himself. People like that need to live, and suffer every day for every life they took. I hope that the people that died had as much of a painless death as possible. This is horrible.
guess we're going to have to start having security guards everywhere and have your bags checked for places like supermarkets, libraries, and pretty much any common area because being able to own a firearm is a right in this country
/s
Can't wait 2nd amendment supporters to come out with their "thoughts and prayers" and the "stop politicizing this tragedy" if they haven't already. People in this country have become so desensitized to this type of thing because of how common it is.

Jup. We probably get to see first people with blaming this on videogames for sure tho... Instead of the real problem.
Every other civilized nation in the world doesn't have 300 million guns in the hands of civilians. The US seems like a lost case. If somehow, miraculously, stricter gun laws are actually enabled, how's that gonna help at this point? Seems hopeless. The saddest part is that these shootings are so commonplace that the country has learned to live with them. The state of America is absolute madness.I hate how relevant this is every time there is a shooting, but it is:

This is supposedly the shooter:

I've been at "Ban all guns from civilian use. Period." Since Sandy Hood. This incident is another tragic brick in a wall of senseless violence perpetuated in the name of enriching weapons manufacturers over the lives of the people.
The crime wasn't committed by an undocumented immigrant, so nothing but "thoughts and prayers"... when it's gun violence it "shouldn't be politicized"....

"Fake news"
"If they had guns someone could have stopped him"
"I'm a proud member of the NRA"
"Guns don't kill people, people kill people"
"I'll pray on it"
Never. There are over 500+ school shootings in the US since 1840. Guns are easier to get, semi automatics are up for grabs, guns can be modded etc. More and more school shootings are happening as decades go by. The list per decade are getting longer and longer. Nothing will happen. "Muh guns" are more important than human lives. These people will always hide behind the 2nd amendment and blame something else for the killings.
Do you want actions that actually work, or things that just make you feel better?
I lose my faith in humanity every time I see him tweet, only because I know there's hordes of scum attacking and slandering him.
Fuck our society. These people prioritize their guns so much they'll resort to going after school shooting survivors.
Lethal toys* aren't more important than these peoples' lives.
for the vast majority of Americans
They did it in Australia. It was quick and easy, because people saw that guns in civil hands are dangerous and have no benefits.

Honestly, I'm shocked you guys are so defeatist and cynical.
If you look at polls, even the majority of Republicans and registered gun owners are supportive of stricter gun laws.
The problem is the politicians don't represent people. They are bought and paid. They represent their donors. You guys are believing a lie.
I rather have both apparently. That is a sick line of thought.
If only Madden required you to stand up for the National anthem before every game played this would have never happened.
Is there really no topic on gaming side? All gamers should be aware of this happening. No one's safe and toxic gaming culture is a serious problem. It feels sanitized having it only be on this side.
