I posted this a few pages ago and people simply ignored it. You want to stop mass murderers? Stop giving them their fame and glory. The media and our culture are solely responsible for these types of attacks continuing. Guess what? They are going to continue to happen and it's not be because guns are available. It's going to be because these people have psychiatric problems and want to live in infamy. They are going to continue to strike places that that offer no resistance. They are going to continue to strike people that are innocent. They are going to continue committing suicide once they are being closed in on.

This quote from the NRA's top lobbyist is spot on.

While I'm not really "pro" NRA or even a member of theirs, what he said is 100% accurate.

Maybe instead of banning or regulating guns, we start regulating media and how they report these type of events.

I think that's over stating things just a bit. Take away the media and there's still going to be murder.

The media is part of the problem for sure, but I'd hesitate to claim that any one issue whether it be guns, media, or lack of quality mental health care is the sole source.

I don't buy into the NRA agenda, they're just passing the buck just like everyone else.
