Niagara Bill Posted April 19, 2021 Posted April 19, 2021 As reported in the NY Post, a teen who was caught in the Times Square subway station with an AK 47 was defended by his lawyer who said " he was confused about the NY gun laws". Hmmmmmm. Somehow I think the point was missed.

Expand Actually, I think that there's some evidence that connects the amount of violent realistic video games as well as violent movie/tv content individuals play or watch to their likelihood for violence. Notice I said "connects" not "causes". It may be that people who are prone to violence are drawn to violent entertainment content.

Expand In the case of the fedex killer I believe there is liability. The Feds knew this kids was so disturbed his weapon was confiscated. His mother knew he was suicidal. Then he allegedly purchased the guns used afterwards. in this case the families should absolutely have the right and I hope they do sue the federal and local government agency that allowed this to happen. If there were negligent acts along the way that allowed this to happen, there should be firings and perhaps charges brought.

Boatdrinks Posted April 19, 2021 Posted April 19, 2021 Thousands of murders per year in the US, most committed with a gun of some type. We don’t need a pause on legal gun owners, but rather a crackdown on crime with strict sentences. We need to get tougher on crime, not softer. Libs have pushed wimpy crime policies and violent crime is not surprisingly on the upswing. In addition, guns are legal and they are used to kill. The manufacturer is not at fault, but rather their shooter and then possibly the family was negligent. It was probably clear before this kid was 18 that he should be placed in a mental health facility. Of course, with libs it’s always everyone else’s fault except the individual and possibly their family. The government or a corporation failed and the perp is the victim. 1

muppy Posted April 24, 2021 Posted April 24, 2021 the proliferation of gun violence in this country is untenable. I don't have any answers as to how to help reduce them really. While I agree that a gun cannot pull its own trigger, it indeed is a person responsible for the actual act of violence. The fact that there are such strong lobbies for gun advocate rights and the rabid defense of near any attempt to reduce the availability of rapid fire weapons that are used in a lot of these mass shootings does in my opinion put the country and public in general at more risk. Risk vs reward ratio, personal right to bear arms vs the right for joe public to not be shot while at their grocery store or school. Mental illness clearly is at play and the guns aren't choosing to be owned or handled by mentally sick or otherwise disturbed individuals. I wish I knew how to reduce gun violence, and alleviate mental illness, identify it and attempt to keep guns out of those peoples hands.....It almost seems to me like a chicken vs the egg type scenario. Circle logic and reasoning going round and round over and over......I don't know the answer. All I do know is the world we live in seems to be getting more perilous rather than less with all our technological advances. Ultimately as a Christian at least I have the security of knowing where I will be going to spend eternity if I should ever be a victim of such violence. Come Lord Jesus come. This word needs you desperately. 1

Expand Amazing that the NYC shooter was arrested without incident ie he was taken alive. I thought that only happened with white suspects. Also amazing how many times the lamestream media stressed that he “ meant “ to shoot his brother. That makes the whole thing acceptable, ya know? I never once heard him referred to as a “ black man”. 98% of the media are an outright fraud. Just propaganda. 1
