Happens all the time. Media just covers them and more and it seems like it has never happened before.

If we disagree, it's nothing personal, opinions are opinions.
Antagonizing me to build a false sense of worth is so damn cute.

Brighten your day with science.

It's what happens when psychopaths have access to guns.

Shots shots shots shots shots.

Shots shots shots shots shots.

And when responsible citizens DON'T have access to guns to protect themselves from the psychopaths who DO have them.

Touche, but there would still be a shooting.

They happen all the time. It's just media coverage that's increasing.


Bingo. Just like earthquakes and other natural disasters.

Yes, but laws only affect those who obey them. Even with the strictest gun laws, the psychopath who wants to shoot up a mall will always find a way to do it. In my opinion, the safest place to be (taking what I just said into consideration) is one in which everyone has the ability to defend themselves.

Now, in a perfect world, criminals would not have access to guns. But obviously that's not the case.

Studies show that men think about sex every 7 seconds. I do my best to eat hotdogs in under 6, just so things don't get weird.

"You want to know why. This may sound cynical, but here's why.

It's because of the way the media reports it. Flip on the news and watch how we treat the Batman theater shooter and the Oregon mall shooter like celebrities. Dylan Klebold and Eric Harris are household names, but do you know the name of a single *victim* of Columbine? Disturbed
people who would otherwise just off themselves in their basements see the news and want to top it by doing something worse, and going out in a memorable way. Why a grade school? Why children? Because he'll be remembered as a horrible monster, instead of a sad nobody.

CNN's article says that if the body count "holds up", this will rank as the second deadliest shooting behind Virginia Tech, as if statistics somehow make one shooting worse than another. Then they post a video interview of third-graders for all the details of what they saw and heard while the shootings were happening. Fox News has plastered the killer's face on all their reports for hours. Any articles or news stories yet that focus on the victims and ignore the killer's identity? None that I've seen yet. Because they don't sell. So congratulations, sensationalist media, you've just lit the fire for someone to top this and knock off a day care center or a maternity ward next.

You can help by forgetting you ever read this man's name, and remembering the name of at least one victim. You can help by donating to mental health research instead of pointing to gun control as the problem. You can help by turning off the news."


Wanna stop them?

Here's where you start.

It's already been proven that it's not the number of mass shooting that went up. Just more coverage.

If I ever get AIDS, I'm going to sleep with another AIDS person so my AIDS cancel each other out, or I'm going to make the AIDS I already have worse.

That's actually my hometown, and I know some of the people they interviewed (heads up, the name was "Cora" not "Coral"). I'll admit that our community is usually pretty peaceful with minimal crime (our neighboring city of Costa Mesa usually has most of it), but it's scary that this stuff is even happening here.

shoot outs happen everyday in my city. Is it citizens with gun permit? No, it's gangsters with illegal Russian and German guns

They call me graland.

There are these things called "copy-cat crimes."

Most of these people are just looking for attention/infamy.

That's the thing. Newport Beach doesn't have "gangsters". The closest we have are rich white kids trying to be tough. I believe the last murder we had was several years ago, when a guy drowned two people offshore. It was huge news, but that was a long time ago. That's why this is so unusual for us.

I'll be the first to say we live in a pretty sheltered area,.
