> [@Bouncer](#): > > To me, the most staggering thing is that the way they figured out who the shooters might be was to check attendance records at school. It just boggles my mind for some reason. > > “Oh we had a deliberate murder at point blank range of an infant in a stroller? …Call the junior high!” When they have an eyewitness who places the shooters’ age range within junior high years, why not? You seem to think that they just made a blind assumption and it paid off. Remember, there was a direct eyewitness. ---

Either he’s cruel or he’s weak or he doesn’t exist, and you’re frantically engaging in cargo-cult activity trying desperately to prove your shameful excuse for an existence has any meaning beyond your own failed attempts to create same by latching onto a fourth-rate country/rock singer with a fifth-rate lyricist. Playing some kind of pansy game of “oh it COULD have been worse, PRAISE THE JEEBUS SO FUZZY HUGGY MUCH” just demeans you AND your God. ---

Think about THAT, asshole–you’re taking someone else’s tragedy and using it as an excuse to chirrup about “The Lord” instead of extending some actual sympathy and concern. You should pay more attention to Matthew 6:6 and less to your own egotistical need to prattle endlessly about the person who gave you the instructions in Matthew 6:6. For that matter, as much as your unthinking bullshit drives people away from the church, maybe you should also take Luke 17:2 to heart. ---

> [@kambuckta](#): > > Gun buyback schemes have had some degree of success both in the US and in Australia (where in 1996, after the Port Arthur massacre, the government outlawed certain categories of firearms and mandated they be turned in for cash compensation). You seem completely unaware of the scope of the issue in the US. The information you read here just refuses to sink in and be processed. Your Australian buy back took in about 600,000 guns in 1996 and another 50,000 hand guns in 2003. The last time Congress attempted to estimate how many guns are in the US was in 2009, four years ago, and came up with an estimate of 310 Million guns. NICS background checks, which are only done at the time of sale, are still proceeding at a brisk pace, 2.5 Million just in January of this year. One month. And all of these checks represent probable sales. All of the guns collected in Australia represent only a couple of weeks of gun sales in the US. Reducing the number of guns in a given community as a solution? You mean like Chicago has done? That’s some funny stuff. ---

Perhaps that baby would have grown up to be another Hitler, but ten times worse. Perhaps there was a large scale debate among the time travelers board over whether or not to intervene, and this was their first ever breach of the non-interference policy that has kept them out of meddling with history thus far.
