    Attitudes towards guns is the issue, yet again. Step one: get mad at something. Step two: shoot it. *sigh*
    Never really developed a taste for tequila. Kind of hard to understand how you make a drink out of something that sharp, inhospitable. Now, bourbon is easy to understand.

      I'm sure he was a well adjusted lad but had some problems and people around him either didn't know about the gun or didn't think having the gun could potentially be a problem.

        Wasn't there a step where he actually got the gun? You don't shoot people if you're mad with no gun.

        Step one: get mad at something. Step two: get gun. Step three: shoot it.

          You can still acquire a gun if you're determined enough. Legally or otherwise. It still boils down to your attitude, and thinking that shooting something solves anything.

              Is it confirmed that the shooter was a participant in the Madden tourney? I'm just not seeing any official comment regarding the shooter other than he was a white male and was killed (no mention if it was suicide or police involved). The Mayor of Jacksonville along with the PD will make a statement later this evening...

                I'm just pretending this didn't happen. Too much other Scheiße going down today.

                    The Twitch.tv clip has a moment where one of the players has a laser spot on his chest.

                    He’s apparently one of the people who died.

                          It is. I hate to resort to this, but the Mollie case, it was blame the attitude, not the tools/illegal immigrant. Now it's blame the tools in this shooting? How about blame the attitude? That's what drove this nut to kill.

                          Edit: NOTE: I do blame the attitude in the Mollie case, just to be clear.

                            But without the tool, you can't do much, no matter what the attitude is.

                              He still would have found a way to hurt/kill/etc.

                              I dunno if he was clinically unstable, but there's a checkmark that needs to be improved upon re: gun laws.

                              Stop with the narrative that changes to one's desires. Be consistent. That's the point of my previous post.
