Totally mumped up.  TV stations around the country will be showing video of the most terrifying moment of their lives... Sucks we live in such a media driven society.

How would these cameras be powered? Who would charge the batteries when they go dead?

Any chance we can make the guy that did this be forced to watch his gopro video every moment of the every day for the rest of his life? Like just put it on repeat in front of his hospital bed? And put it on CC TV in his jail cell?

I'd rather it be shown in congress. He's lost it, he won't give a crap.

And he's confirmed dead now. Congress it is.

What pisses me off about the gun debate anymore is that only one side is even willing to have a discussion. The gun nuts are completely unwilling to admit that there is a serious rough ridin' problem in this country.

If you are on meds for, and/or have a diagnosis of any kind of mental illness, no gun for you, imo. Like, ever.

Well, yeah.  I mean, it won't fix the problem, but it would reduce it.

a whole lot of ppl simply wouldn't ever go to the doctor.

people always bring up anti-drug laws when objecting to the idea of "anti-gun laws." is it naive of me to think gun laws would be more effective than drug laws? i mean anybody can grow/produce drugs.

If I choose to do drugs, I'm doing it to effect myself. People aren't shoving heroin needles into mothers as they walk down the street. Guns effect everyone

This man was angry and bitter about the things that happened at work, and it centered around this reporter and camera man.  He was intent to so harm and he would have found a gun or something somewhere even if we hax strict gun laws.  Brain change is what is needed and getting rid of violent mowing 'em down dead video games is the place to start.  I like guns.

I read about this during my lunch.  Should I watch the videos or not?  Seems like mixed reviews about them.

I don't think it was much worse than the cincinnati cop, for your reference. At least the two I saw.

There's no blood or gore or anything but you are seeing two people get executed. The gopro video is unreal because he's standing less than 10 feet away from them pointing a gun at them and they don't notice until he pulls the trigger.

hilarious movie myth that is extremely pervasive. people dont instantly die when touched by a knife. they would at least have a fighting chance.

If he did not have a gun, he would of had a much more difficult time killing 2 people and severely injuring a third.  Don't pretend a knife is as efficient of a killer.  People don't hunt with knives for a reason.  If we can force them into using something other than a gun, they would not be able to harm people so efficiently. 

Guns don't necessarily need to be outlawed, but the ignorance in refusing to acknowledge their role in the amount of violence we see is baffling.  There is a direct correlation between mass killings and guns being the method of choice.  We should at least be able to have a serious conversation of what we can do to better ensure guns are secured, restricted from those who are dangerous, and as safe as possible.
