I'd blame the mother first before blaming guns TBH. She knew her son has issues yet still didn't do anything about it.
Yet one reason is illegal, while the other is justifiable.....

Kevlar, helmets, and shields are designed for protection, not self-defense....
why does any civilian need a fully auto?
Doesn't change what guns are designed for.
i see your point but I just see everything as a tradeoff, like equal measures good and bad. with the internet, i've been able to find more info on how certain operations work, how the media likes to twist things, learn more about the political process and corruption etc...and I'm sure the net has hurt with some of my more destructive tendencies as well.
ultimately it's just a tool, like a gun, and like Uncle Ben says, with great power comes great responsibility. unfortunately, people are turning into irresponsible heads.
That's tough though as a parent I would think. Here your kid is in school for his PHD and you think he's doing fine and then this.
Just speculating though, this kid could very well have always been ed up.
Either way, he needs to be hurt, badly, and then hung.
If you study history, the founding fathers put the gun provision into the bill of rights as a protective measure that we'd never become enslaved ever again. The bill of rights has served us well for this long and now all I see in the media these days is demonization of it.
stuff like this pops up all the time

in my opinion, the quote isn't taken out of context at all. the founding fathers fully intended for us to be armed to the teeth.
This map is mostly pointless without populations included too.out of all developed, civilized nations we lead the pack
the vast majority of those crimes are committed without a gun too
U.S. population = about 311 million / 11.8 mil crimes = 3.8% crime rate
U.K. population = about 62 million / 6.5 mil crimes = 10.5% crime rate
And U.K. has banned guns????
Absolutely.....but I think when you are speaking of the general masses, particularly in America, there are far more dumb people than there are intelligent people.....
Having said that, this dude doesn't sound "dumb", so I'm certainly not arguing that the internet made him do it....just an observation on the internet as a whole and how it may or may not effect the mentality of others.
for protection against anything and everything. foreign invasion, a corrupted government that needs to go, or an assault by an individual. the founding fathers wanted it this way specifically so that no other group or body would hold us down ever again.
the reason is to kill.
I think it sucks that a civilian like Zimmerman killed an unarmed kid and might get off scot free in the guise of self defense.
Stupid post because there will still be guns even if they were illegal.
banning guns usually leads to more victimization and crime. criminals look for people to victimize, so a gun is definitely a deterrent. it at least makes it harder to find easy pickings. i'm not sure if anyone actually read the chicago tribune link i posted, but it talks about how criminologist studies show time and time again that guns save lives.And U.K. has banned guns????
To which well regulated militia do you belong?
It's too bad nobody there had a handgun. If I had been there, that wouldn't have been the case (because of something that happened earlier in life where a guy was shot right in front of my eyes at a mall, I carry a .357 at all times) and this crazy mother er would have been dead on sight.
Mav Krew. Oh you said "Well regulated"...nvm carry on
I didn't think you were pointing the blame at the kids.
My point was that the level of violence in movies/TV/video games is less of a concern when the kid watching them is otherwise well adjusted.
It was only a matter of time before Paul Kersey checked in.
Bad guys already have their weapons drawn when they assault you or come into your house. He may be alone but usually there's 2 or more. They can have automatic rifles or not. They may be hyped up on drugs. They already planned their attack and is already at full alert while you sleep in your pajamas.
Homeowners like me are already at a disadvantage, it's nice to have an option on what kind of weapon you can use to protect yourself.
Other countries close to the freedom to own guns as Americans are. You see a lot of deaths if the government decides to go around and take guns from people.
After all that criminals would still have guns.
Nice plan.
Cool story bro, you should tell it at parties.
Not saying you can't, but do you think you could take down a shooter with 4 semi automatic weapons, with body armor on, with tear gas in your face, people screaming and panicking everywhere, in the dark?
robbery prevented because of an armed citizen. this happened just recently
