Guess which form of nuttery primarily exists in white middle class suburbia and which form of nuttery primarily exists amongst brown people?

And they shot even greater numbers.

Not hard to imagine that the mom's survivalist midset and the presence of all these weapons playeed a role...maybe the main one.

and the killing done in the name of Islam, then, at least, there would be some meaning to it all.
As it is, it looks like an absurd act committed for no reason by a man with no spirit.
If he were an Islamist, then there would be some coherency to it all, even if the pain remained great for decades.

The fact that he was muslim was the subject of commentary immediately although it didn't have anythiing to do with it

I'm being barraged by replies that this is some disease that he had.

I say it was the raising.


And I feel that this is an extremely important distinction. One that we really ought to discuss. And without name calling. It feels as if even as we try to make the world a better place, people are having a hard time being clear and open about this.

I'm calling out parenting, if I need to be more clear.

Buy would this have happened as a result? Honestly, I don't think so, guns and mental illness are a deadlly combination

His mommy probably kept him in a paranoid mind-fuck. Probably. We will see.

But we're aiming in the right direction. All of this "rugged individual" crap that we've all grown up with. It's time for sensitivity.

Maybe, just maybe we can work together and build a better world. It's why I came to this forum.

...

These aren't mutually exclusive claims.

That screams survivalist.

They are available *everywhere*

We managed to keep the focus on the weapons in those cases, even as the Ft Hood shooter injected religion into it...

White American conservatives would be perfectly fine with limiting gun ownership to only white Christians if they had their druthers.

A rich guy in Manhattan can get a gun, a poor woman in the Bronx doesn't stand a chance.

this survivalist gun culture is just as radical as the jihadists.

Surprise! Use guns to solve (whatever) problems (they happen to have).

People who aren't taught that guns solve problems rarely consider guns as problem solving devices.

This is a big shock to anyone who is a fucking moron.

People who know a gun can solve SOME problems are the smart ones...those who think they can never be useful are the "fucking morons".
