So sad

Too many ****ing guns to too many ****ing dumbasses. How many other industrialized countries have this problem? When Turning around in the wrong driveway when search a friend’s house can be a deadly affair.

This and the kid who got shot because he knocked on a door where he thought his siblings were at is "good guy with a gun" prime examples.

We've popularized the notion of heroic vigilantism at the same time that the pro-gun community has moved away from responsible and disciplined ownership in favor of hyper-vigilance and activism.

Being a vigilante is trash. "The Punisher" is not a hero. The "Taken" movies feature a ****ing criminal who should be in prison. The good guys don't take matters into their own hands, they follow the process. Taking them out behind the woodshed and killing them is the ultimate "thug" mentality. If that's something you get your rocks off on, then you are the one who needs to be taken behind the woodshed, because you're sick, you're broken and you are not good for the people around you.

No one values law and order anymore in favor of fantasies of good guys vs bad guys and then they go out and get a half-dozen guns and are convinced they are the "good guy with a gun" and wait for their ****ing doorbell to ring so they can blow away some thug... who turns out to be a nice teenage kid who plays in band and his mom sent him to go get his younger brothers because it was ****ing dinner time.

They were just standing their ground. Its what any red blooded patriot would have done for the crime of someone accidentally touching their property.

2 cheerleaders shot in supermarket parking lot after 1 opened door to wrong vehicle

Authorities have arrested the man they say shot two teenage cheerleaders after one said she mistook the suspect's vehicle as her own in a supermarket parking lot near Texas' capital — at least the third incident this week in which young people who'd made an apparent mistake were met with gunfire.

I've personally known so many people who say **** about shooting people in ways that they present as being justified but clearly isn't and is just part of their gun fetish and murder fantasy. I swear a lot of these people are walking around half-cocked salivating for an opportunity to shoot someone.

How do you propose we deal with the cultural issues you are referring to? What do you think should be done to repress the culture you see as the problem behind gun violence in the United States?

The same way we dealt with smoking. It's a long haul.
