So it your position that video games cause rampage murder with guns...

[Nosmo King]

A) No one ever jacked a liquor store with an Xbox

B) As video games are prevalent all around the world, it would beg the question: how's the rest of the world for mass shootings compared with here?

C) This is yet another in a series of distractions about mass shootings. What puts the "mass" in mass shootings? THE GUN

What's your point? You love guns. You are in the minority. In our system, often times,being the majority means you win.

And they are being told the reason they are struggling is because of illegal immigrants

So if you agree that media messaging causes violence it stands to reason that media violent imagery will also have an effect.

It's not "media messaging", it's messaging by the President of the United States, backed up by his actions at the border, his decimating of the forces tasked with fighting white supremacists and their terrorism. And the utter silence of the Republican Party.

The President of the United States is aiding and abetting terrorists.

You shouldn't mix your meds with booze.....it makes you post nonsensical crap...

The border problem was created by the 9th circuit court of appeals and the democrats refuse to fix it, because they want an issue for the election....

what forces has he decimated to fight the 6 white supremacists in this country.....?

Nothing to see here! Plenty of blame to go around! See! I told you if we blame others, we will never have to accept responsibility! Make America great again.

You have a right to bare arms. The constitution says nothing about AR's.

What do you mean you don't have a right to those things? I thought in America we are free. If we are, then you do have a right to a knife or hammer or lawn mower. This argument is stupid. Accidents happen.

What you should not be free to do is possess a wmd.

Here.....this shows you are an idiot.

Some have made the argument, bordering on the frivolous, that only those arms in existence in the 18th century are protected by the Second Amendment.

We do not interpret constitutional rights that way. Just as the First Amendment protects modern forms of communications, e.g., Reno v. American Civil Liberties Union, 521 U. S. 844, 849 (1997), and the Fourth Amendment applies to modern forms of search, e.g., Kyllo v. United States, 533 U. S. 27, 35–36 (2001), the Second Amendment extends, prima facie, to all instruments that constitute bearable arms, even those that were not in existence at the time of the founding.

https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/15pdf/15-133_7l48.pdf

That analysis misreads Heller. The question under Heller is not whether citizens have adequate alternatives available for self-defense.

Rather, Heller asks whether the law bans types of firearms commonly used for a lawful purpose—regardless of whether alternatives exist. 554 U. S., at 627–629. And Heller draws a distinction between such firearms and weapons specially adapted to unlawful uses and not in common use, such as sawed-off shotguns. Id., at 624–625.

The City’s ban is thus highly suspect because it broadly prohibits common semiautomatic firearms used for lawful purposes.

Roughly five million Americans own AR-style semiautomatic rifles. See 784 F. 3d, at 415, n. 3. The overwhelming majority of citizens who own and use such rifles do so for lawful purposes, including self-defense and target shooting. See ibid.

Under our precedents, that is all that is needed for citizens to have a right under the Second Amendment to keep such weapons. See McDonald, 561 U. S., at 767–768; Heller, supra, at 628–629.

IT DOESN'T FUCKING MATTER WHAT YOU CALL THEM, IT MATTERS THAT AR15'S ARE THE WEAPON OF CHOICE FOR MASS KILLERS, AND THE GUN IS DESIGNED TO INFLICT MAXIMUM DEATH AND DAMAGE TO VICTIMS.

Hey...dipstick....

Staples v. United States, 511 U.S. 600 (1994).

The AR-15 is the civilian version of the military's M-16 rifle, and is, unless modified, a semiautomatic weapon. The M-16, in contrast, is a selective fire rifle that allows the operator, by rotating a selector switch, to choose semiautomatic or automatic fire.

You just better hope your favorite gun doesn't get put on the list.

Oh, and when they come to your home to take your guns, please do what you tell black men to do when the cops approach them. Do what you are fucking told. The time and place to fight them is in court or at the ballot box.

You right wing nuts who say they'll have to pry the gun from your cold dead hands are hypocrites. You tell black people to obey but you say you won't when the law comes knocking on your door. Interesting.

You need some pot and alcohol to balance the cocaine high you are on.

Well last week you fucking Republicans wouldn't even entertain the idea of background checks but today Mitch and Trump seem a little open to them. Finally. Bout fucking time. Baby steps towards taking your guns. All of them. Even the pea shooters.

What is your fascination with Background checks...of the 10,982 gun murders in the U.S. the vast majority were criminals who did not go through a background check...you mope...

background checks are b.s......

 

[Godboy]

AR-15s are not assault rifles...to begin with......and you were told you are an idiot in the Supreme Court ruling in Heller.... and the followup in Friedman v Highland Park as well as Caetano v Masschusetts.....not to forget Miller as well....you moron.

SPLITTING HAIRS OVER WHETHER THEY ARE TECHNICALLY ASSAULT RIFLES IS PICKING UP THE PEANUTS WHILE BEING TRAMPLED BY THE ELEPHANTS.

what about assault rocks???
should they be banned too???

No. You can throw as many rocks as you can with your two arms. What you can't do is build a gun that can take 400 rocks and shoot them in one direction with one pull of your trigger. Or a gun where you can pull the trigger once and they come out one at a time like an automatic weapon.

• Some states and localities place additional restrictions on certain semi-automatic firearms that they have defined as assault weapons, or on magazines that can hold more than a certain number of rounds of ammunition.

so catapults are illegal???

How many can they throw at a time 11? Then yes, we may make them illegal. LOL

Automatic weapons have been banned since the 80's, genius. Mass shooters arent killing people with automatic weapons.

 

[Godboy]

ARs and the like are least of this country’s worry’s, Cars, alcohol, lawn mowers, bath tubs, hammers, knives, etc. All have higher body counts then people using ARs.
None of which are an right like firearm ownership is.
It’s American thing you obviously don’t understand... lol

You have a right to bare arms. The constitution says nothing about AR's.

[Rustic]

Use the Google... lol

Out of the millions of ARs owned legally by Americans what is percentage of them are used in Violent crime?
Basically a percentage off of an percentage at best... Cars for instance kill far more people. And vehicle ownership is not even an right, it a privilege. Firearm ownership is an absolute right less someone fucks it up for themselves.

Like I said political correctness makes people fucking retarded.

And you can own a gun. Just not an assault rifle. No place for them in our society.

While a direct link can never be determined, since the issue is far deeper than one single cause.
Violent imagery gives a killer ideas on style and weapons as some movies over glorify extreme violence that didn't exist several decades ago.
Add stress, social situations and drugs and that imagery will have an effect on that small percentage of anti socials.
Reckoning With The Matrix’s Gun Problem
Giving them a platform for their perceived grievances via the media definetly gives rise to copy cats.
How can anyone ignore the effect of the media when kids nationwide were in the emergency room for copying stupid shit on the internet? Tide Pods, busted testicles, kids choking on cinnamon.

Generation X kids could go out and find a job at Ford or GM and make a great living with benefits. Today's generation can't afford college and without college they'll have to go get a job at Walmart. No wonder they are so angry.

And most of the older white blue collar men who snap lost their good jobs during the Bush Great Recession and today they are working at Walmart. And they are being told the reason they are struggling is because of illegal immigrants. There is some truth to it but the fact is it's not the immigrants fault. It's the business owners who hired them because they didn't want to pay white male Americans an American wage.

Lol
And you think socialism is a cure for that shit, are you one stupid motherfucking clueless socialist or what?

People are there are in station a life of what they deserve, Blaming it on anything else is absolutely cowardly.

 

[Nosmo King]

Gun violence is a man made problem. Therefore, there is a solution! Any problem created by mankind can be corrected by mankind.

Our task is to recognize no single law or regulation will not stop gun violence. In fact, stopping gun violence should not be a goal. Retarding, slowing, reducing gun violence is the goal. The way speed limits do not stop vehicular accidents, it must be recognized that speed limits reduce vehicular accidents.

But there are people, steeped in the gun culture, who first dismiss any notion of control as an entree designed to take their precious guns away. These are the same people who say any legislation will be ineffective so no legislation should be considered. Making the perfect the enemy of the good.

Assault weapons have no virtue, yet assault weapons are the Keystone of the problem. What puts the 'mass' in 'mass shooting'? The assault weapon. Not an Xbox.

if violent video games don't cause violent acts from those that play how can you then blame violence on tweets?

And you're in no position to tell me ANYTHING.

 

[Dragonlady]

if violent video games don't cause violent acts from those that play how can you then blame violence on tweets?

If people couldn't possibly be radicalized online or via social media, how come you took social media platforms away from ISIS? How did the pizza parlour in Washington get shot up? What about the abortion clinic murders and bombings? Social media has become a platform to push outrage and hate.

Every time you have a media campaign designed to create public outrage, you're going to get a violent response. Call of Duty isn't designed to push social outrage. But campaigns to vilify and denigrate "others", which sets others up as targets of hate, fear or outrage, and which are being amplified by Russians, Chinese, Iranians, and others seeking to undermine the USA, are having the desired affect.

A campaign of hate against brown immigrants, from a President who keeps a copy of the writings of Adolf Hitler beside his bed. Wonder where he got that idea?

So, what you're saying is, the media causes mass shootings? It's open discourse that is causing this violence.

I agree.

It's not the guns. It's the diabolical media pushing an agenda. It's the ability of individuals to express their hate.

REPEAL THE FIRST AMENDMENT!!!
