Obstinance_Works: Broken dreams I expect play a part, too. You're told to dream big in middle class America, but the American dream is dead, and therefore when you don't achieve your dreams you feel like a spectacular failure. Or you begin to feel that it's not even worth trying in the world and you start to hate that world for making you feel so insignificant.
Americans put too much pressure on their kids ignorant to the reality that the world is no longer a walk in the park.

A materialistic culture of plastic self-interest and egoism works when you have a bountiful frontier of opportunities before you. But without the frontier and all the possibilities for life that brings many people get left behind. Without the easy money and easy opportunity you need to look to your fellow man for some sense of purpose in life. Yet finding purpose in other people as opposed to raw self-interest is not a thing the Americans are good it.

I know many Americans believe in Jesus but that's an intellectual topping which means nothing. They don't behave at all spiritually and Americans come with a functional atheism of self-interest unequalled in any secular state.
This is the culture which merges Jesus Christ with Ayn Rand for political ends. If you know anything about either then you know how completely false and duplicitous it is to do this. It does come anymore plastic and unreal than this. And if these are you so-called spiritual people then what hope is there?

galrads: I will always understand that guns don't kill, people do. The actual subject is not guns. The subject is always overlooked. MENTAL HEALTH is the root cause of the issue.
I wonder, did our president offer any thoughts or prayers for victims and families effected by this NUT CASE or did he just take another opportunity to attack our 2nd amendment rights?

President Obama said, "May God bless the memories of those who were killed today. May he bring comfort to their families and courage to the injured as they fight their way back. And may he give us the strength to come together and find the courage to change"

mollybaby: Could it because society is more medicated, and full of unnatural chemicals than before?
In a world where children are medicated for behaving like children, sadness is treated with drugs, etc. Etc. Is it not surprising that people are acting contrary to what we consider normal behaviour to be?

Enforced normality is a police state of mind.

ooby_dooby: ... A picture of Mr. Mercer holding a rifle appeared on a MySpace page with a post expressing a deep interest in the Irish Republican Army. It included footage from the conflict in Northern Ireland set to “The Men Behind the Wire,” an Irish republican song, and several pictures of gunmen in black balaclavas. Another picture showed the front page of "An Phoblacht", the party newspaper of Sinn Fein, the former political wing of the I.R.A.
Reminds me of Lee Harvey Oswald. They managed to come up with a photo of him holding a many months old copy of Pravda, carrying his Garcano rifle with a scope that officially had not yet been mounted on the gun and standing at an angle that defies gravity (provided that the fence posts and house were indeed vertical).
The obviously faked photo was used as "proof" that Oswald was a commie gun nut. Important in establishing the lone-nut theory of the assassination.
Photos that "say it all" are very suspect when it comes to political agendas like presidential assassinations or the nullification of constitutional rights.
This school shooting may very well be another Sandy Hoax.

An horrific unnecessary tragedy...

The question was "Do you believe a person with mental disorders like Mr Mercer should be allowed to own a gun?" Yes or No?
Instead of answering the question you evade the question with another question. Why am I not surprised?
Conrad73: so,how come the mandatory Background-Checks in Oregon didn't suss him out?

I'll answer it. No. Mentally unstable people have no business owning guns. Owning a gun is a great responsibility. It is a privilege not a right.

The Second Amendment of the United States Constitution reads: "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed."
Nowhere does it state to be a Privilege,always refers to a Right,which Government is not to infringe on!
