Keep telling yourselves the guns are to blame.

Because 12 people were shot and killed in a movie theater and 70 more were injured.
Because 20 children were shot and killed in their own elementary school.
Because 50 people were shot and killed in a night club and 53 more were injured.

Insert restraurant, mall, concert, etc. and vary numbers, and you see a trend, none of which were committed for religious reasons. NONE.

Keep telling yourself guns aren't a problem when each of these mass murderers purchased them legally.

That word is either a bunch of ****, or he's been using those resources for the attack, implying it was planned out.

[plastroncafe]

Because the notion that he was a closet case who hated in others what he saw in himself is too outlandish?

[Netkeeper]

No, I considered that as well, but that isn't an angle I want to go with. There are stories of self-hating gay people but I've never seen one personally.

[Andrew NDB]

The stories coming out now with his wife telling authorities she was literally dropping him off at the club to reconnoiter it lend me to think, while not ruling out the self-hating thing entirely... probably not, no.

You honestly think a dude who was an ISIS supporter didnt kill 50 people because of his religion? You know, the religion of Islam that condemns gays more than Christians do?

[Netkeeper]

Perhaps you should read my post again.

[The Deadman]

I did, you said you dont know why people are talking about his religion when his religion had everything to do with the crime to begin with, lol.

[Netkeeper]

I also said it was more of a hate crime than a religiously-fuelled attack. That means his hatred of LGBT people is more relevant of a detail than his religion, because it's true.

Was this the same wife he used to beat?

Do I really need to use the "guns don't kill people" line?

Religion taints everything, and should be stamped out. Time to grow up.

I would hope you don't, because that's wrong.

Guns allow people to kill people SIGNIFICANTLY easier.

You don't seem to be the brightest, but tell me: would it be easier to kill 50 people and injure 50 more with a knife? Or a gun? Specifically an assault rifle.

Hint: a gun

Nice. Glad we could agree.

You're not even trying to act mature at this point. Grow up.

I'm not the one who believes in hocus-pocus and Santa Claus.
But I digress...

I've always wanted to start my own religion, just to see how much money you can make. It's a great racket, if you know a little NLP, and have a fun story.

People are willing to believe in anything , so why not believe in making me Mega-rich?

[Netkeeper]

I'm not religious either, but don't go around treating people that are like trash, Commenter.

I hold no grudge, I'm merely making an observation. Every time I've seen you in one of these threads you're instigating some childish BS, just like you are right now.

Nah, you've just gone around negging me like a pedantic little child ever since Leo left. You never act like a heel, ever.

back on topic...
I'm sorry, but you can't argue in favor of just one solution, while ignoring the open wound of theism. Guns are the reaction, not the cause. If you don't address it, more of the same follows.
