In reply to the discussion: You Want to Eliminate Gun Crime? [View all]bluerum
(6,109 posts)10. The Aurora shooter had every advantage society could offer him.
But I suspect he felt entitled to a much better job than woking at a burger joint given his education and intelligence.
Maybe he is right. Maybe society short changed him. But did people have to die and suffer? Who or what made this person think that he had a right to kill out of revenge? Or resentment? Or maybe a simple sense of entitlement.
He may have had a right own firearms, but that is vastly different than having the right to commit mass murder. And how, how on gods green earth does any of what you wrote justify what he did?

The talk of banning means I should start buying now, and stocking up on ammunition.

If you really think there will be gun bans in the next year or so, you're a gift to the NRA.

You stop it. Just stop it right now. Reasoned and logical responses are not appreciated here.
