Oh, man, Laura. And yet, there's no way this could have been prevented, I'm sure we will hear many times.
Xander: I still don't get why we came here to get info about a killer snot monster. Giles: Because it's a killer snot monster from outer space. I did not say that.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
Laura- it makes me furious reading your posts and then hearing the family he was living with these last 3 months make statements about how they are shocked and had no idea. He had to have these guns with him. They had to know he was kicked out for bringing knives.

It's my last day as an hourly employee. Nine more work days in this job. So weird. Therapy this afternoon should be good.

Is it just me or does it seem like Dems are really out of touch on gun issues? It seems like they talk a lot about hunting and hunters and gun rights people hardly ever talk about gun control in relation to hunting. To me it makes it sound like Dems don't get it.
Gun rights aren't about hunting, or at least hunting is a tiny sliver. Self-defense I think is larger piece, but I think the big thing is identity.
I don't listen to the radio a lot right now, but there used to be radio ads for a large local gunshop called 'Frontier Justice'. At the end of every ad they would invite people to come to their store and 'take a stand for family, faith, and freedom.' How does buying a gun relate to family and faith? It only really makes sense in terms of identity.

Our wings are not tired.
People talk about see something say something, but everyone knew the kid was a time bomb. He legally owned the assault rifle and all the social media scary shit photos and talk wasn't illegal. He was expelled from school for his violence, yet he was able to walk into the school with smoke bombs, a gas mask, and assault rifle.
Everything in his history screamed this guy should not own weaponry, and yet not illegal.
I have to once again steadfastly avoid gun loving family and friends because I am the one that can't be civil.

I don't understand what the authorities are supposed to do about someone who seems dangerous but hasn't broken any laws.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Laura, that was exactly the point I just made on FB to someone who was talking about "warning signs"

I know. And yet we have to find a way to solve this.
Totally jealous of the 22222 post! Two is my number.

Make guns illegal.

I don't think there are any politically viable solutions.
