Thanks for copy pasting this article from Washingtonpost of all sites, yet again. I had no idea of what happened and now i am completely informed. And i'm sure everyone else in here is handicapped and unable to use the internet for anything other than being on NB so thank you. We are all well informed now.
Another shooting at a local community and Elementary School.

Wow...
you took a story about a mass shooting,took attention away from this story, and started plugging in your own self-entitled argument, making this about yourself.That was very opportunistic, buddy.
I'm honestly questioning if some of the people posting and commenting on these threads are genuinely concerned about the mass shooting, rather than using these stories as opportunities to act like charlatans...

That's what I meant when I said "posting".
Yes, you noticed him.
These stories are beyond negative, not only that, there's little to nothing we can do about it, and posting these kind of threads on NB doesn't do much of anything...so it's very questionable as to why these people are posting such threads and using them as an opportunity to just validate their views.
"mass shooting takes place", then people start talking about themselves and their self-entitled issues,pretending to care... that's an opportunist and an attention seeker.
The perfect disguise for an enemy is the "good samaritan" or the "victim", that way, no one would suspect them of their true hidden agenda.

It seems this random mad shooting is going to become a trend or it's already is, and soon this will create new market. PMC: Private Military Company.

Weren't you complaining about me not posting stories about leftist violence? So your sarcasm doesn't work.
And the fact that you're crying over me posting a story about another shooting over the shooting itself shows how childish you are.
So where do you get your news from? Breitbart?

It's called voting and protesting. If you knew anything about American history, then you'd know it goes a long way.
If people aren't aware of the problem, then they wouldn't know of the solution; and as we're seeing now, people are starting to finally wake up to the reality.
Now I'm eagerly awaiting for an irrelevant edgy comeback of you calling me foolish and deceptive with a perfectionist-complex.

Lol called it. You're really transparent.
You don't know how to make a cohesive argument, so you resort to pseudo-analytical remarks about me. You say it's not about me, yet you make it about me. You're not a psychologist, so stop pretending to be one.
You can't seem to list any data or facts to support your argument. Give me a reason why I'm wrong? You can't even do that. Saying my comment is inhumane and shallow is a deflection, not a rebuttal. You haven't actually refuted anything I said.
I have talked about it many times and made threads on it.
You only suggest that we stop talking about it and that there's nothing we can do; which is regressive and wholly untrue.

Don't take what I said so literally. I'm not saying that we should be glad that people died, I'm saying that we should be glad that more people didn't end up dead. If that school didn't go into lock down like it did and wasn't warned beforehead about the shooter then it could've turned into something much more chaotic. The shooter even ran his vehicle through the school gate or something and started shooting through the windows. If any kids were playing outside or near those windows then there could have been a lot more victims.
Obviously this will happen again if we don't do something about the security and safety of our current laws. The way things are going now, it seems like nobody even cares or bothers to check people with guns who have had a history of being violent, which is the key to stopping some of these shootings.
Honestly, I keep reading your posts in threads and can't help but facepalm at every single one. What you're basically saying is that since we all have other forms of internet and news outlets that we are not allowed to post threads about the news on NB, or any other trending topics in the world. Last I checked this was a discussion board, which means we are given the ability to talk about anything, as long as it is in the realms of reasonable. What Lightbringer is doing is simply posting about an incident in the world and sharing it with NB. The incident itself is negative, but these threads are in no way negative, which brings me to clown #2 below.
Obviously stuff involving shootings are negative. Did you expect them to be positive?
[SARCASM]Yes, because never talking about an issue always fixes the issue.. It's always best to never talk about anything and just ignore it instead of coming up with ways for incidents like this to cease so we won't have mass shootings like the one in Texas or Las Vegas. Yes, makes perfect sense.[/SARCASM]
You're on a DISCUSSION BOARD complaining about people making threads about general news and discussions.. wow.
You have a very ignorant way of seeing things. Posting a thread about a shooting is not selfish. It is to inform the people here about what is going on and to possibly talk about why the incident happened. If no one posted this thread then we wouldn't be talking about this, and you would just pop into another thread complaining about someone "validating their views" on the topic.
Thanks for giving me the attention and validation you think I'm seeking. Replying to my "self serving comment" isn't counter intuitive in anyway. Well done sperg.
I'm desensitized, if you find me slightly apathic, or find my reaction problematic, then you agree with the sentiment of my comment. Something is indeed wrong with me when I can't feel for the victims of mass shootings anymore.
Im not going to fake being an altruistic moral arbiter who feels endless sorrow, because unfortunately that's not what I feel. And I'm not going to grandstand to anyone else who's feeling apathic either.

While people may be the ultimate cause of gun violence, the guns themselves are still the proximate cause of those deaths, as it's much easier for someone to kill people with guns, and in greater numbers too, which is why people who go on murder spree's usually don't carry knifes or bats with them because they know it won't be as effective. They would obviously choose the weapon that is designed for such actions.
I am actually tired of hearing this argument, because yes, while it may be someone who is pulling the trigger, the actual weapon that was made for harming people is also part of the equation.

If not guns there will be knives, if not knives, bats, if not bats, sticks, if not sticks, rocks, if not rocks, dirt, if not dirt then hands, if not hands then bones, if not bones then teeth, and if not teeth then it will be some other thing that can be used for assault... everything is a weapon, that's the number 1 rule you learn first when being taught self defense either it be karate or Taekwondo or anything else. Gun restrictions wont stop violence, it would probably increase the death ratio because now people cant defend against illegal gun owners.

Yeah, but mass shootings aren't accidents, they're premeditated.
A somewhat relevant statistic shows that people who think about committing suicide tend to go through with it if they have access to a gun as opposed to those who don't. That's because it's quick and easy. The same applies to mass murders.
The access to a weapon that can easily kill dozens of people gives those who were thinking about killing others the opportunity to do so. If that same person couldn't get a gun, the chance of him carrying out a killing spree with a knife, for instance, is less likely than him doing so with the means to a gun.

Yeah, whatever, not convinced.
Anywho, Lightbringer...you want me to make this into some kind of college debate, only so I can provide you an "opening", so you can come up with some rebuttal for a social climb.You are, like the others, an opportunist.
I read your post, and I see nothing but self-entitled men with tons of excuses.
"Called it, you're really transparent"...lmao, so?That's, yet, another excuse of yours.There you go with that better-than attitude, you just can't help yourself. "Called it", meaning, you want credit for saying something that another eager jealous vindictive person has already stated.And, like before, it was dismissed.
Honestly, where you guys stand, and where I stand, is absolutely self-explanatory.Regardless of how hard you try to distort and displace things.There isn't a need to provide you with the convenience of me giving you this so called "proof" that you wish to convince me that I think I need.It's clearly just a trap, because like I said...you're just an opportunist that has personal gain syndrome. Even in a moment like this, you still think about yourself...me giving you information that'll give you an opportunity for you to start with the self-entitled genius responses.
Say whatever you want, use all the verbiage in the world...it's set in stone.You can write tons of text, and make it look like you have it together, but a facade is just a facade.A public displayer, is just a public displayer.
This is clearly just a game, of who's better, to all of you...you're narcissists. You all have disingenuous intent, and use information to simply cover your true intentions.It's pathetic.What I see is just a bunch of pathetic people.

Be upfront.
you guys care about your ego, more than the incident. You use threads like these,specifically, for debates and draw attention to yourselves, just using the topic for a climb. That's the deception behind it.No better understanding of the value of a human...just rights, protests, laws,the "structure" of a rebuttal rather than the point and truth behind it, etc...incredibly materialistic and self-important.You're for show purposes.I'm disgusted.
And it's utterly materialistic.
Lmao, again, you're not doing anything significant but servicing your sense of entitlement.No good.
