What has changed in society the last 30-40 years?

The internet, a 24-hour global news cycle, and way more guns in America.

Or is “rap music and violent video games” the more appropriate response?

Rap music and video games certainly aren’t to blame. But in the last 30-40 years?

. No one learns to lose now
. Schools will not discipline students
. Parents are more concerned with being friends than parents
. We pamper youth today and they don’t know how to handle real life
. No personal accountability
. The internet and social media


Those are just a few. As you can see, the personal accountability is on full display with the latest shooting. The gun gets more blame than the unstable person pulling it’s trigger.

Oh, and take away that guy’s gun and he probably just mows over people with his vehicle. Or maybe he looks up how to make a bomb on YouTube?
 
You failed to include some details. Guy sent a letter to a congressman and said already has a detailed plan to attack and commit “systematic genocide”. Also suffers from bipolar and PTSD and later admitted he looked unhinged
According to the article, he sent a letter to Dan Crenshaw saying antifa should be declared a terrorist gtoup. Hardly a threat.

he admiited he COULD look unhinged to some people. doesn't mean he is. He said IF antifa started killing people, he was prepared to stop them. nothing wrong with that.

And i don't see anywhere where it says he suffers from bipolar and ptsd.

You know you can’t attack ANTIFA in any way, shape or form! That means you’re for fascism. :rolleyes:

Read something besides Fox News
 
God in general. Doesn't matter. Again it's my opinion that the further we get away from God the further we get away from the golden rule which is a principle found in many religions.

I can't disagree with that, and I think that most people are generally "good" people, despite their religious beliefs. There are black sheep in every society.
 
The shooter in Texas drove a Honda.

Uh........um.........uh........ok.

Why can't we get information on the shooter?

Do we not have freedom anymore?

Control that narrative.

Told 4 minority women to go back to their country. Yea not racist and xenophobic at all. Of course besides that fact that Trump is to stupid to know that 3 of the 4 were born in the US. So he really just shit on himself since he told them to fix their shithole countries, aka the USA, the country he runs. If you want to pretend he hasn't doubled and tripled on what is very calculated race baiting then thats your prerogative. He heavily miscallculated on this move

I look at things this way - the media feeds us the extremes. We aren't interested in hearing that on a given day, 330 million people did normal things with their friends, families, etc. We want to hear about the negligible percentage of people who did extraordinary things - good or bad. Hence, we think things like mass shootings, antifa protests, nazi gatherings, KKK rallies, etc are normal, everyday happenings. They're not. They are tiny groups of troubled people who in no way reflect the attitudes of normal Americans. Obviously, all of the above things suck and it would be great if we could put an end to them, but, as has been pointed out many times in this thread, there are sick, evil people in the world and that's just the way it is. Enjoy your families and friends and don't let the media tell you the sky is falling. It's not.

Yeah, they had a kkk rally up in Madison Indiana Friday or sat. There were maybe 15 people there. But the local media hyped it as though it was some huge rally. Smh
 
I like the truth, soooooo. Taking his guns was bullshit!

Sorry bud but Fox didn’t give you the whole truth. He didn’t say he could look unhinged. Go back and read the quote. He said “I looked unhinged” and goes on to say he “looked dangerous” and had the training to be dangerous. Straight from your article

Fox didn’t mention the full content of his letter to the congressman which didn’t make him look good. He also said he understood why he was placed in a veterans hospital for 20 days and why his weapons were taken away from him

Guy has been diagnosed with PTSD and says what he does. This is the entire purpose of red flag laws. Every time there is a mass shooting, many on this board claim it’s mental illness. So the feds do their job and are proactive w a guy, and you cry about it?
 
Is being bipolar or having ptsd against the law? What's next? Are we going to start violating the 1A rights of mentality handicap people?

If you take the 2A at face value, there should be zero restrictions on anyone to own as many weapons as they want to regardless of their circumstance. Mentally ill, convicted felon, known murderer, wife abuser, etc. Is that what you’re advocating here?
 
School shootings aren't "way up". The way a "school shooting" is classified has changed so the lemmings can more easily be corralled toward the cliff. Guy offs himself in his car in a school parking lot, school shooting. Stray bullet from blocks away strikes a school, school shooting.

Same with "mass shooting". Now it is described as a single incident with 4 or more people wounded. Those wounds can be from bullet fragments off a ricochet, or as simple as a skinned up knee from trying to escape the scene. Most mass shootings involve drive by shootings in inner city battlefields and do not affect civilized people.

I’m not your bud. It’s not against the law to look unhinged or dangerous.. If it was, 90% of you lefties would be locked up. Ever seen antifa? Or a gay pride parade? Or the nuts wearing pussy hats?

I posted the Foxnews article because that’s where I saw the story. Doesn’t say anything about ptsd. And according to the article, they took his guns because of comments he made about antifa.
 
In theory, I’d be all for locking up the mentally insane.

But in today’s culture the people who want lower taxes and less government in their lives are deemed insane, while those that think a 3 year old should undergo gender reassignment surgery while grown men use the same bathrooms as little girls are deemed heroes by the left.

Hardly. You always throw out these extreme hyperbolic examples.

It's very simple. Punishing someone who hasn't committed a crime and forfeited their rights is a violation of said rights. You can't legally revoke someone's constitutional rights because they have a disease. It's mind numbingly stupid people even entertain this.

The more this happens lawsuit will be brought. I'm willing to bet these laws won't pass the courts unless the Constitution is amended.
 
Watching cable TV news shows - opinion pieces - and typing out “I like the truth, sooooooo” is some seriously questionable behavior. Seek help.
Well where have you been? How did we survive without your professional advice. Your first 7 posts have been so informative I know we are all holding our breath for more jewels. Who needs to seek help when we have you.

Lol. 90% of democrats are Antifa, but the KKK boasts only 15 members. Have some more meth, guy.

The bolded is funny.
 
This is not too hard to understand. We gave away our jobs for cheap stuff and now we have no jobs to pay for good stuff. We don't need China. They need us.

We aren’t capable of producing as many goods as we consume, period. We may not need China, but we need someone to make stuff for us.
 
And it's not just a violation of the 2A. When police show up and automatically immediately confiscate your guns first and foremost no questions asked where is the due process? Should they not at least have to prove what they claim before doing anything else.

Due process was the first thought I had about that as well. Libs see no problem with the guilty until proven innocent paradigm. Fools don't understand that the only protection they have is the constitution. Once they get the totalitarian government they yearn for, they won't be so happy.

Hey libs, it is much better to say "what am I doing" than to say "what have I done".

Absolutely. 99.99% of gun owners are no threat to their fellow citizens. They shouldn’t have to suffer because of a few headcases. And to your point, those headcases have rights too, and if they aren’t fit to own weapons, that should be established and proven before any sort of action is taken against them.
