then he singled out christians who are not part of an organized religion simply by being christian and who most certainly are at least somewhat spiritual? something doesn't pass the smell test here...

This is absolutely true.Guy in Shorts wrote:Violent video games may be part of the answer.

Space Invaders ain't Grand Theft Auto.
These kids have no idea what 'GAME OVER' means.
The sensationalism of these crimes does exacerbate the situation.
NEWS used to stand for North, East, West and South.
We need to make it stand for Now Extremism Will Stop.

Re: oregon shooting
Looks like another case of not attending to mental health issues. Read the entire article very interesting. How was this guy under the radar?

Information from a Facebook profile, which has since been shut down, ties Harper-Mercer to Torrance, California. It links him to the email address ironcross45@gmail.com, a reference to Nazi Germany, and shows he attended Switzer Learning Center — for people with "moderate to severe learning disabilities, emotional issues, attention problems, and behavioral disorders" — and El Camino College, both in Torrance

Re: oregon shooting
If the gunman had instead asked the students if they were Muslim and then shot them in the head the media would have exploded with rage, and EVERY Muslim cleric, scholar and expert would have been thundering and screeching on every channel. The little Muslim brat's fake clock in Texas caused more outrage than Christians shot in the head.
Now Obama talks of gun consification like that will solve the problem . The gun was the tool used but if this Muslim didn't have a gun he probably would of used a sword or other way to kill . Again it's a Muslim Extremist problem first and nut job second and gun issue third .

Re: oregon shooting
Oh, because he targeted Christians he's automatically a Muslim?
I have not seen anything stating he was Muslim. What mosque did he go to?
Link?

Then post the dozen sites.
If you're getting news from "real" sources, then why don't you share them with the group.

Re: oregon shooting
the site is run by anti gun zealots... you attempted to pass it off as being a a legit study by talking the definition of a mass shooting, changing that to qualify many more incidents and then failing to do so for the comparison countries, we call that PROPAGANDA...but you don't care because reality doesn't matter to you...again all you have is baseless personal attacks and idiotic delusional fantasies about both me and the laws you somehow think will get passed and be effective...deadheadskier wrote:Hey captain no comprehension; every single shooting listed on that website is documented with a link to the local news reporting it.
