Tell us dax, what changed?

I asked the question first.

So what changed StarBot.7?

[star seed 7]

I bet it's something Hillary did

[Dugout DickStone]

Relaxing the gun control laws and the internet

[sonofdaxjones]

I bet it's something Hillary did

While I will admit that your hero is a horrible and absolutely disgusting human being responsible for the deaths of tens of thousands of people, but you are wrong. 

I know #blueanonGe doesn't want to talk about mental health, loving thy fellow man or talking about pure evil.   #blueanon and #blueanonGe is only interested in talking about guns or facilitating some lunatic conspiracies about (white) people who talk on TV (even though some of those white people with political beliefs aligned with #blueanon have allegedly driven mass shooters to act as well).   

I will lay partial blame on the numbers at the feet of the implement itself, those kinds of weapons need to be banned.   But the simple fact is highly capable of killing weapons have been widely available for a long long time.  Beyond that we have a mental health crisis, we have a growing desensitized culture that increasingly does not value human life, and we have mentally troubled people that find an outlet in the Internet and understand that their act will be reach the devices of hundreds of millions if not billions of people.

The pace of mass shooting picked up substantially starting around 1975, and it's accelerated over the last 20 years or so.

I wonder what changed?  But that detracts from the political points that have and must be made, so . . . root cause analysis is not allowed!

Colt’s patent on the AR-15 ended in 1977 & production of similar style guns across multiple manufactures picked up.

From the same account. Gotta torture the 2 Chron 7:14 text for good measure:

Forty…thirty years ago, we didn’t have school shootings. We had kids in pick-up trucks parked out in the school parking lot with rifles hanging in the back of their truck cabs. My dad had a gun safe that was left unlocked and I know he wasn’t the only one.
Access to guns has always been around and so has mental health struggles. This leads me to believe that there has to be something else at play here. Something that goes deeper than our laws or lack thereof.
We have an issue of the heart and, friends, God is always at the heart of the matter.
When I was growing up there was a very popular saying, “God don’t make no junk.”
I saw it all the time.
Maybe we need to be letting our kids know that now. Maybe this generation needs it just as badly as we did.
When we teach kids that they are fearfully and wonderfully made by their creator, we teach them to value life. Theirs and others.
When we teach them that one day they will be held accountable for the life they’ve lived, we teach them to own their choices and make good ones because one day they will meet their maker.
When we teach them that they were born with a purpose for their lives, we give them the reason they were created.
When we teach them that they are valuable and loved because “God don’t make no junk”, we teach them that they matter and that they are somebody no matter what anybody else says.
When we teach them that there is One who reigns supreme above their life and everybody else’s, we are teaching them that the world doesn’t revolve around them, but Him.
When we teach them that there is One who cares for them more than anyone else, we give them someone to call out to when they find themselves all alone in their bedroom wondering why anything in life even matters.
These aren’t just “feel good” things to say to someone or a false sense of hope or reality.
All of creation points to our creator and we do no one any favors ignoring that fact. When we as a people get back to the heart of the matter…the heart of the Father…I believe we will truly start to see the change we all desire.
“If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.” 2 Chronicles 7:14

I hate all these people.

This is pretty accurate except that somehow blueanon doesn't want to talk about mental health or loving your neighbor. 

I think the mental health aspect is hard though because how does this maniac get help if he is so isolated?  The internet allows them to be utterly alone and when you are utterly alone for long enough you lose any empathy for other humans.  They aren't human, they are antagonists in your shitty life.

That kid should not have been able to have such easy access, under a week, to such devastating firepower.

That's laying the burden entirely on the weapon.

I saw an article awhile back about how you could buy an M30 Carbine WWII Army Surplus out of a mail order catalog for $30 in the 1950's.    Our society and culture has changed.    Back then we had a lot more people in our country who understood what it meant to point a loaded gun at a person and pull a trigger.    We don't have that anymore, and thus our society must adapt by banning certain types of guns, accessories and modifications and changing laws to slow the immediacy and ease of obtaining the subset of firearms that are legal to buy and own.     

We are a society that has a super high tech military that advertises that they're a super high tech military and that has glamorized the "Going Tactical" mindset.   Our media has helped propagate that as well.   Games like call of duty allow children and adolescents to pick out their assault weapons and go kill computer generated images and when they get killed they just keep respawning - desensitization.   Much of that is done in households that don't have any guns, so there's no real world experience with guns, there's no gun safety taught and there's no talks about what it means to point a loaded gun at another human being.   We have other video games that make look cool to have guns and to go out and kill people, and we have the cool guys don't look at explosions or stay and count the dead in our movies.

But those are just symptoms and components of the overall problem.

How many kids who shoot up schools are coming from households without guns?

So to be clear you’re against placing the blame on the weapon available and you think something changed in the culture? What changed?

It's absolutely stunning what a derp you are.   I never said the weapons were not part of the blame, I made that quite clear.
