Texas Church Shooting : Thread

It was in response to rickymouses comment on gun laws, I mentioned to him that guns are irrelevant as criminals don't follow laws, it makes no difference what laws they are.

I don't know which I should do... laugh or be sad at you taking 4chan's bait.

Not 4chan. Your pathetic attempt to associate everything with 4chan won't work.

Where's the Antifa flag?

See the atheist likes, the CNN likes, the picture of his gun? Hate facts do you?

I hate facts when they are bad for me or other people. I just understand that I have to accept the facts whether I hate them or not. The left are willingly ignoring facts that make them feel 'uncomfortable'. That is a formula for self destruction.

Perhaps the root cause of all of this is the continued increased price of coffee? I know that without coffee in the morning, I can be .....

From my understanding military serviceman have to pass a psych evaluation before joining ?

Yes/no ?

He was Air Force.

Yet another reason the 'nutz' argument fails.

Nope. Maybe to be an officer in charge of Nukes, that would make sense. But privates don't get that close a look. The DI does the vetting.

1 in 4 people will suffer some kind of mental illness at one point in their life time.

Mental illness is a global problem.

In the UK and many other countries there are lots of people who are living with mental illness, yet we have not reached a stage where mass shootings or killings are just a normal part of our daily lives.

When you try to make this about mental health you do two things, firstly, you are excusing the real problem, lack of gun regulations and secondly you are only compounding the stigma attached to mental health.

The problem is your dam guns.

Not mental illness.

In the UK, you treat mental illness. In the US, even most health care plans don't treat it.

I'm getting really damn close to believing there's something in the water in the US that's dumbing us down, and making us more likely to do these things.

Our health care plans do treat it. Maybe you are thinking government health care and we are not quite socialist here even with Obama Care. Most of us are on private health care and mental illness is covered.

If that's the case not nearly enough is being done, mental health issues are clearly the problem here, guns don't kill people, people kill people.

OK there's two other threads on guns and mental health on ATS PLEASE go there i would like if possible to redirect THIS thread to be about the tragedy in Texas The SHOOTER & why this particular individual did this.

Any posts relating to the incident are welcome Debating gun rights and other issues Can go over there.

this is a great but sad thread lots of participation so as the topic evolves lets post in the correct forum

Why does Facebook delete the pages of mass shooters immediately but other sites like linkedin leave their page up? Even family members or people close to the shooters pages get deleted like Marylou Danley. Why does Facebook do this?

Before I click that link, did you travel those countries for a holiday or were you deployed?

A non-Muslim person perpetrated this attack. We need to call this one what it really is folks...a home grown terrorist attack of significant magnitude.

When will the madness stop?

If and when the mental health issues are looked at on large scale.

Muslims are the scapegoats for the current fail in our civilization, it's far easier to blame than it is to accept responsibility.

Both are an issue, so to assume one is extreme Muslims or someone with mental problems ends up with the same results of a lot of people killed or hurt. Those are basically the two issues we have today, so does it really matter which one since they both have the same actions?
