Violence is what we do. Violence, imperialism, and obesity.

He used a Ruger 10/22 rifle.

You could do the same or "better" with an axe.

It ain't the firearm here.

Dillogic, that's not true in the slightest. In china a few years ago their were a series or knife attacks at an elementary school. The amount of people killed were generally a lot less. For one thing you can run from a guy with an axe without risking getting shot from across the room. When is the last time seen a massacre happen in this country where a gun wasn't used? It's clear we have a problem with people getting guns who should have never had them.

Aren't you politicizing it with this post?
If the fact that mentally unbalanced people are obtaining firearms and using them to commit mass murder hasn't been politicized, then it should be.

According to one witness, he demanded to know his victims' religions before he killed them.


You can't stop them in any state because they are protected by right of privacy and second amendment.
The database doesn't update very often and has issues due to lack of funding among other.
Guns shows and a few other places aren't required to do background checks, thus don't.

Sandy Hook shooter was confirmed to have Asperger Syndrome/ASDs based on his medical records.
He had other things that went with it and his mother didn't get the help he needed.

Xenocity, I know that. That wasn't my point. I was saying that aspergers had nothing to do with his violent acts. There's a whole other category of mental illness that causes that kind of behavior.

There hasn't been 10 people killed with a melee weapon by a single individual before in a single spree?

You should look it up.

Aspergers is a lot easier diagnosis to swallow for parents than schizophrenia which fully develops in your early 20s which most of these spree shooters are. We don't take care of our mentally ill or disabled in this country, a lot of people fall thru the cracks. Guns exist, they never won't, people kill people and we need to stop playing politics when there are real things that could be done that would dramatically decrease gun violence in this country. It's artificial, it is not innate.

Turns out he didn't have Asperger's after all. Now they claim he was an anti-christian black leftist.

No, I corrected it. Melee attacks generally have a much smaller casualty rate.

Besides we don't seem to have a problem with axe massacres in this country.

Not if you compare them to massacres utilizing .22LR caliber firearms (which is what I meant). However, the highest with a melee weapon is around 30 or so, which is comparable to many of the big ones with more powerful firearms.

I think 9 was the previous highest number of killed with a .22, which was in Finland (which is one of those places with firearm licensing and such). However, I'm unsure if Mercer used any of the pistols he was carrying in this case and not just the .22 rifle (if he used the pistols, then it doesn't go against my argument). But nonetheless, 10 killed is within the realms of possibility of melee weapons (you just need to read through the various massacres).

Which generally goes back to how a person can make do, no matter what they have access to.

If someone wants to kill someone else, they don't need a gun. All you do by regulating guns is make it harder for them to "stack kills". It's not going to solve the problem. The amount of kills doesn't matter, how they did it doesn't matter becuase you can kill anyone with anything if you know how, so I fail to see how government regulation (which can't even prevent people from downloading illegal music so how's it going to stop illegal guns) will help anything at all.

Dillogic yes it's possible to kill a lot of people with other things, guns just make it easier. Why does any of the details about what specific gun this guy used matter? From what's been happening, we clearly have a problem with crazy people getting guns. Do you not agree with that statement?

It doesn't matter really, we're not going to agree no matter what either of us say.
