@Damian more firearms are only the answer if extensive regulations are implemented. Strict licensing requirements and psychological screening, strict guidelines for use. Restrictions of the types of guns and ammunition that can be acquired, sold, obtained. Strict consequences of misuse for all involved in providing arms to unlicensed individuals. Strict consequences and requirements for not gifting guns and ammunition or having them if everyone in the household has not been screened or licensed. Etc etc. Etc. Remember the guy who killed those people at Sandy Hook elementary lived with his mother who had guns she inherited from her father. She and her son would never have had access to gins with such strict guidelines. There is no need for assault weapons or high caliber ammunition and high magazines!!

The parents may not have had control of his actions at 18 but they were still his parents at 17, 16, 15 etc. Besides if they had bothered parenting they could've kicked him out once he turned 18. I bet that would've changed some of his actions had he have to fend for himself.

@@EW-uw7dg Indeed, nothing has. I personally choose not to mention the shooter's names. Rather the place where the incident occurred. Till this day, Sandy Hook has me dumbfounded.

I've got two kids in elementary school and I even begin to imagine myself a parent in that situation.

[@iam03j32]

Honestly I believe it all starts with parenting as well but we can’t put everything on them. We have no idea what happened in that household and often time parents don’t know what’s going on with their kids mentally even when they try to talk to them and shit like that bc us kids are very good at hiding shit. And at 18 years old he’s a grown ass man and his decisions are his own so I wouldn’t blame parenting yet

[@rolandm9750]

The shooter had threatened to shoot up his high school on more than one occasion, did presentations on things like murder-suicides, etc. Seems like he was quite set on "shooting up a place" for some time, but only actioned it once he had built up enough hate about *something*. What his parents should have done after knowing this is made sure he didn't have guns and ammo, but it seems like they only facilitated this and had bought him a gun at one point (and could have effectively financed this shooting altogether if they were giving him $$ he used to buy ammo, gear, etc.).

He surrendered. He didn't run, fight cops, shoot at cops, go after cops gun, resist arrest, keep his hands in his pockets, get on his phone, refuse to comply. That's why he alive!!!

[@matthewgower]

Pretty incredible he had a man to man conversation with the kid and then witnessed the attack the next day, not that I’d want to see it but it seems like something written in a movie. If only that conversation could’ve changed his mind. Rest In Peace to the victims and may God give that boy what he deserves.

That dude sure had A LOT of time on his hands! They say idle hands are the Devil's workshop! Ain't that the truth! Who in the hell has time to write an 178 page manifesto, let alone be psycho enough to drive 200 miles away, on more than one occasion, apparently, to go shoot up innocent people just shopping for groceries? On top of that, ammo ain't cheap...and gas prices are through the roof these days! He was begging for change from customers, but he had money for weapons, ammo and gas?? WTF?

My heart is heavy for all victims and their families. This is pure hate that got into or was implanted into a young man's brain. We need to find out ways to do away with hate and bring love and togetherness so we can all act in a loving neighbor way. I don't know what the status is, I think that said his name was Mr Lloyd, the man in the interview, but it was a good interview. God bless him and may the Good Lord bring peace and for him speaking to the suspect and witnessing the horrifying events the next day. I'm sure he, and tons of others, will be experiencing PTSD in the days to come.
