Democrat run cities man. Very sadThere's been over a dozen mass shootings in Colorado since Columbine at schools, church groups, night clubs, Planned Parenthood, movie theaters, grocery stores, etc...
Why so many there?
So shooting up schools, theaters and grocery stores is political?Democrat run cities man. Very sad
Name something the left hasn't destroyed.
Nope Grizz, the fact is that the Dems enable mental illness, drug addiction, don’t back the police and then make it so folks don’t have to work. Oh wait, and the justice system is a joke in most of these Dem run cities.So shooting up schools, theaters and grocery stores is political?
Is it that Jared Polis is so horrible that people who voted against him feel the need to kill kids in their classroom or young people watching Batman at a movie theater or those attending New Life Church?
I can connect the dots as to an abortion clinic being political and some people see a gay nightclub as political, but is it merely that having a Democratic Governor pushes someone to get a gun and kill people dancing in a club on a Saturday night or being at a Planned Parenthood?
So what part of the media is "toxic" to society?There's a lot of money to be had by the media telling people whom to hate and blame for their problems, but it so clearly clouds people's judgements. That part of the media is toxic to society.
Planned Parenthood has murdered more babies this year than every illegal shooting, combined, in the history of this country.or being at a Planned Parenthood?
I agree with everything you said here....the question to ask is this, "Is mental health treatable?" Yes, prescription meds can do wonders but is it socially acceptable to have medicated mental people out in society? Who is making them take their medication? The idea of housing mental patients was brought up and that doesn't seem like a bad idea...but in this day and age, good luck.One of the main things that needs to be done to help prevent more of this madness is for the media to “shut up” and stop giving attention the this type of mental illness. The next thing that needs to be done is to put money and resources into truly helping and treating those who are mentally ill. The third thing that will help is putting personal responsibility back into our families and schools.
What's your point? Unless that is some sort of moral relativism argument.Planned Parenthood has murdered more babies this year than every illegal shooting, combined, in the history of this country.
The part of the media that tells people that "the left" (read: abortion clinic or gay nightclub) is evil, which apparently inspires mentally ill people to murder the people inside of them.So what part of the media is "toxic" to society?
We all know your feelings about Fox News is there others?
My point is that thousands of babies are murdered by doctors every day and you started a thread about a few people getting shot by criminals.What's your point? Unless that is some sort of moral relativism argument.
There's been over a dozen mass shootings in Colorado since Columbine at schools, church groups, night clubs, Planned Parenthood, movie theaters, grocery stores, etc...

Just saying what? Smoking weed turns people into mass shooters?Colorado is a legalized “4:20” state….just saying.
Well, it's clear that Colorado has a major issue with mass shootings. When I ask why, it's met with a bunch of people convinced it must be the Democrat's fault.
When I point out that Texas, the bastion of conservatism, also suffers from mass shootings of schools and churches at horrific levels then the answer is it must be because the Democrat's harbor the mentally ill elsewhere since it's certainly not from within Texas.
When I point out that some of the attacks have been perpetrated by the right, towards the left, the response is that the left "murders" babies... as if that has any bearing on this discussion at all.
There's been discussion about mental health, but more often than not the guns used in mass shootings are purchased legally by people with no criminal or mental health history. Plus, it's already illegal to possess a firearm if you have been committed to a mental institution or were deemed to be mentally defective, so that's clearly not the solution some people think it is. Plus, who wants a law allowing your doctor or therapist to take away your guns? Anybody?
I'll wait to see if anybody has a real thought about Colorado's apparent problem because the "Blame The Democrats" shtick clearly doesn't stand up to even the shallowest of scrutiny.
." Stop paying for the uneducated to have as many kids as possible for a check every month"Bring back mental hospitals and pack them full. No more putting these kids in foster homes or group homes. Start making parents accountable for having kids while on drugs or protecting kids that show violent behavior early in life. Stop paying for the uneducated to have as many kids as possible for a check every month. Stop SS for the "mentally ill" people that can work but choose not to because a 30yr old adult wants sit around the house play video games and do drugs on your dime.
More people are killed in Chicago each year than all the mass shootings combined. Do you see that on the media?
Are those deaths somehow less important than the others? Only a person with an agenda would say so...
Yes I have a bachelors in wildlife conservation. Started GI bill after retirement from AF. Never going to use it just wanted the extra money from schooling. By uneducated I mean high school dropouts.." Stop paying for the uneducated to have as many kids as possible for a check every month"
What? Do you have to have a college degree to have kids? Just messing with ya, I do agree that welfare should not equal minimum wage, and should expire after a short time.
Grizz- nobody is trying to "equivocate" on gun violence by bringing up excessive gun violence in Chicago. The "go-to" for blaming guns instead of people is the assault weapon ban folks. Look up the stats: more people are killed by blunt instruments and knives in the US than by ALL long guns combined. AR style weapons are a bogey man.Yes, Chicago's gang violence is widely-covered. That's why it's the go-to response for people that try and equivocate on gun violence.
Guy had threatened his mom with a bomb? I know there have been other shooters that have had run ins with the law prior to a mass shooting. Some use mental illness as a crutch and don't take it seriously enough. Innocent people pay the price. I don't have a solid solution but something should be created to get these wierdo's out of society.6 people shot on east colfax with an AK-47, 1 dead 5 wounded like 3 weeks ago, but yeah not a big deal when it doesn’t fit a specific narrative. Crime is crime. Colorado’s crime seems to have gotten exponentially worse, some of it is tied to doubling the population of the state and soft on crime policies… supposed shooter at the nightclub should have had a felony a year ago and it would have been illegal for him to own said firearms… but then again soft on crime policies probably let it slip through the cracks… not that a “gun law” has ever stopped a criminal in the history of crime…
Gotcha. Thanks for the reply and for keeping it respectful ??Grizz- nobody is trying to "equivocate" on gun violence by bringing up excessive gun violence in Chicago.

I don't belong to the NRA. I don't own an AR style weapon. I never will. But I do see a red herring when I see one and refuse to be sucked in by it.
I agree that mass shootings are terrible. However, I have no greater chance of being directly affected by one than by random gang violence.
AND- your response on Chicago murders shows how poorly they are covered in the press. I guarantee you that a completely innocent person or bystander is shot every day in Chicago. Not just gang bangers.

Tough times create strong men, strong men create easy times. Easy times create weak men, weak men create tough times.
And when the crazies don't stay on meds the demons in their heads start talking to them.You couldn’t of picked a worse forum to start this thread. The responses make trump look like a world class statesman and prized intellectual. And I despise the left for all you wing nuts who love to soak yourselves in identity politics.
The issues are case by case, failures are
on parents, LE not stoping guys like this one from owning/obtaining firearms when they have a record like his. I’ve been saying this for years, you have a kid that shoots up a school then you go to prison for life with your **** kid you couldn’t raise right. Society is a mess because of people and the media spreading hate a fear.
But I’ll admit I had a great laugh out loud at the boomer blaming video games when that’s been studied over and over and found to have no effect on real life violence. Playing video games or watching die hard doesn’t make a peaceful normal person murder children or we would all be dead by now.
Better to take a look at big pharma and the fact that a majority of these crazies are on meds.
Good question.There's been over a dozen mass shootings in Colorado since Columbine at schools, church groups, night clubs, Planned Parenthood, movie theaters, grocery stores, etc...
Why so many there?
More like mormons and meth. Did you see the interview with the shooters dad?Marijuana....
The POS dad is a meth head.More like mormons and meth. Did you see the interview with the shooters dad?
Oh come on now, everyone knows you can’t buy guns if you’re on dope. The rigorous background process prevents it.Marijuana....
Dick Deleware is a spectacular name.
