I don't know. We could start by given human life meaning again.. Stop the killing babies simply because it is a choice would also be a good start. Link to comment

zoogs Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 reduce the amount of extreme violence young kids see via movies, music and video games would be another good start. So, we *must* preserve the blissful liberty that is gun ownership, but ... let's censor media because citizens can't be trusted to know any better without government-directed programming? #freedom Link to comment
Saunders Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 reduce the amount of extreme violence young kids see via movies, music and video games would be another good start. I did a study on that on college. There's no casual link between those and violent behavior. Link to comment
Saunders Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 I know people are arguing about what laws could or couldn't have stopped this specific incident, but that's not really the point. It's more about curbing overall violence, which happens to be prominently in large cities. That's the most impactful step IMO. Also, after talking with some a guy at work who has a brother who's a Florida LEO, and doing some reading myself, it seems the shooter was fairly qualified as far as his credentials. Like, he had a security clearance, and worked for one of the largest security contractors in the country. From what it sounds like, he would have had about as much trouble getting a gun under any new laws as a cop would have. I've said before I'm not a fan of using the no-fly list to restrict freedoms, but for this guy to be watched as he was in the past by the FBI, and still be employed by a company that does things like guard nuclear power pants seems crazy. Somebody at the FBI screwed up. Link to comment

Really? http://psychcentral.com/news/2008/11/20/media-violence-linked-to-aggression/3379.html The research, to be published in February 2009 in the Journal of Youth and Adolescence, shows that even when other factors are considered, such as academic skills, encounters with community violence, or emotional problems, “childhood and adolescent violent media preferences contributed significantly to the prediction of violence and general aggression” in the study subjects.

HuskerShark Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 we are a few steps away from a tyranny in America. It's scary stuff when you really think about it... Agree 100%. Trump must be stopped. I have no words for the stupidity of this comment. I know. That's what makes it scary. No, what makes it scary is that Hillary is the one that will continue to balloon the government until we live in a tyrannical socialism and Trump wants the scope of the federal government greatly decreased. What is also even more scary is that people would rather believe a ton of media and political propaganda that makes them believe it's the other way around. Link to comment
