The left wants to ban white men. They are content to keep wusses of whatever color, but they seem to have a distinct hatred for men who are men and do manly things.

Was that school a 'gun-free zone'?

There are several issues with this case that are being ignored by the leftists. One, it takes someone with a will to kill and maim in order for them to kill and maim. The means by which they accomplish it is irrelevent. If they do not have access to the means, then with a little creativity, they can create the means or invent it. Our entertainment industry makes billions of dollars promoting violence, killing and maiming. While that is going on, our colleges and universities are bashing morals as being ancient and irrelevent, binding and religious. Without a strong moral code of living, a people will destroy themselves and each other, guns or no guns. Without a respect for each other, which comes from the internal moral code, there will continue to be this type of event. It is easy for a control-hungry president to get up on TV and focus more on controlling the means by which these events happen than the true issue. All the elitists say is that the government can be trusted more than your neighbor. We should trust the government to take care of us and protect us if we give them our guns. Manipulation is rampant that says to "remember these victims" by handing over all your freedoms to prevent it from happening again. I guess the government has the moral high ground that will always force it to "do the right thing" and respect the lives of its citizens. Sorry, I don't buy it AT ALL. As long as the government has guns, I will have a gun. There needs to be promotion of community and mutual respect. It is the heart of a person that causes that person's actions. Try changing the hearts of our people and you will see a vastly different output.

Interesting point on a morning television show: someone was trying to say white males are responsible for most mass murders, someone else chimed in that that wasn't true. The second guy was obviously correct; despite the protestations of the rabid racists on gowilkes, folks from all races have been involved in mass murders.

What was true, whiteout a doubt, is that mass murders are men. Coupled with the fact that one of the "intelligentsia" on here equate having a gun to "manhood" and "truly being alive," perhaps we're missing something as to the cause of these tragedies that has nothing to do with gun control, or the lack thereof, or video games, or violent movies.

Why do men go on these senseless rampages, while women don't?

Alek Skarlatos (U.S. hero who took down french train jihadist) went to that exact Oregon Community College - Jihad retaliation? You decide

Of course, here we go with gun control again. Keep the guns and get rid of radical Muslims.

Guns, knives, fists, bats, whatever. One on one quick random violence, very few defenses. One terrorist (coward), group of people, maybe. Most, including me, would freeze at first. Shortly thereafter would be a good time to pile on. Maybe piling on should be included in the curriculum. God's supposedly chosen people style training. It takes violence to combat senseless violence.

This is a terrible tragedy and a sad loss for many people. The loss of a loved one in any tragic way should not be taken lightly.

But these things these twisted people do are just acts of twisted people. So here listen very carefully to these little facts...

The anti gun safety people come out with the bad argument that Washington DC and Chicago have the strictest gun regulations in the US and the worst gun crime. Well, what they don't realize is that these people in these cities can cross the city lines to Virginia and Indiana respectively and buy firearms in any amount at gun shows and elsewhere without background checks. All they have to have is the $. Why do you think that foreign terrorists implore American terrorists to do just that and do lone wolf attacks in the US?

You anti gun people try to use that false argue all the time and if it were true the places where guns were easy to get would be high in crime as well. But as we can see all across the US places with strict gun control have the highest crime rates and places where it is easy to get a gun have the lowest.

People like grandydancer like to say we don't need certain types of firearms for hunting but what they don't understand is the Second Amendment is not about hunting or target shooting. The purpose of the second amendment is so that the people have the means to fight tyranny. History has shown us time and time again what happens when people can't defend themselves against Tyranny and anyone who thinks it can't happen again is foolish.

He is numb. Must be a Chicago thing.

Obama says we have all become "numb" to these mass shootings. Who is he referring to when he says "we"? I certainly have not become numb to the shootings, nor have any of my friends.

Once again Obama is clueless

Foxnews has a theory that the shooter admired other such shooters and wanted to be more famous with a higher body count. They have decided therefore not to use his name or picture in reporting on the incident.

Another one one from the left cost? You know liberal nirvana. Odd more people died in **** but who cares.

Note from GoNC: the **** above denotes a portion of this post that was removed for racism.

I think that many, if not most, health care providers have a legal duty to report. It comes down to a judgement call.

I said liable because ... What would happen if a healthcare provider failed to tell someone when they knew there was a risk!? Could they be sued or something?

btw, I am not suggesting healthcare has the power to take a gun from anyone.

I'm not sure how healthcare can be held liable...for what exactly? for telling patient's family and friends that their gun is a risk factor for their suicide or harm to others. Maybe it would make them think about where the gun is and if it's truly secure.

That link didn't work for me. I had heard that earlier but unsubstantiated. Is there a source for that?

It's a good idea boo, prevention is best. By putting the burden on healthcare, we would also add liability and that doesn't seem fair.
