Yes, hmmmmmm. Why are there so many school shootings? It must be a complex series of orchestrated events to distract from President Obama's scandals.

Not SedanChair, and the fact is I loving agree with Reid. I just thought it was odd to call it a mass shooting given the numbers involved.

People are dead and you think that whether or not to call it a "mass" shooting is the most important thing about this? No, seriously, get out.

ReidRansom posted:

Exactly. Maybe it shouldn't be is the thing, though. Someone (gun show, freedom-minded patriot, guy on the street corner) sold him some guns when he wasn't legally able to own any, and that's a problem.

Yeah, but there really isn't a practical way to stop those kinda of sales, if that's even how he got the guns. He could have bought them legally and never had them confiscated, or if some of his guns were confiscated, he could have his them. The man was obviously unhinged so who knows?

What if someone killed a single person at a Catholic church during services? Would that be a mass shooting?

He didn't say anywhere that was the most important thing, he just asked if that was the right term to use. Calm down.

I don't think it is the most important. What I think is most important is how the kid got the gun in the first place, why it happened, etc. However, the person I quoted, much like everyone else in this thread at the moment, is not able to answer those questions. I found the phrasing odd, and since Reid was able to answer that question, I asked to sate my curiosity.

#8: Those who encourage homosexuals to practice that behavior are the ones who hate them, since they’re the ones encouraging them to die early. Those who discourage them are the ones who are actually caring for them.

I see a contradiction here that's so blatant, Stevie Wonder blindfolded can see it. The libs tell us we should stay away from, if not outlaw genetically modified foods, after all, as the old advertising slogan goes "It's not nice to fool Mother Nature". Yet it's perfectly positive, healthy, empowering, natural for not only supposedly mature adults, but kids to screw up their own basic biological makeup through sex changes, gender "reassignments", or whatever PC label they put on it. Dr. Ben Carson, and any other competent responsible doctor would say that any type of surgery should not be taken lightly and should only be performed if it's absolutely necessary. And whenever a parent puts their kid through this, I scream out where the BLEEP are children's services when they're really needed?
