        Unlikely. Dude literally went to a Starbucks before the shooting and wrote a message in the bullets. That doesn’t scream “professional” too me

        Detectives investigating the shooting reportedly found shell casings with the words ‘depose’, ‘deny’ and ‘defend’ inscribed on them.

          I just wanted to say it gave me a chuckle how it sounded like you meant he wrote on the bullets at Starbucks. Like it was just a thought that occurred to him and he needed a place to sit down and write on them with a sharpie he borrowed from the baristas.

    It’s simple, just get the company to create a list of all the people in the last 3 years who died after being denied healthcare. And then stare in horror at the list and decide that maybe the world is a slightly better place this afternoon and we should tear down the whole company and all their ilk.

        Suppressors, like anything else gun related, aren’t that hard to come by. You can even make your own pretty easily. They won’t hold up over 1000 rounds at the range but they would be more than sufficient for something like this.

        You’re right that we don’t know why this happened. I’m just saying I don’t find the possibility that a suppressor was involved to be particularly indicative of anything other than the fact that the shooter wanted to be harder to catch, which yeah, you would expect to be the case.

          Yep. A few hundred bucks for an inexpensive one, and a pretty good one costs in the neighborhood of a mid tier PC gaming rig. Theoretically you have to pay a tax and do some paperwork to get one, but you’ve already mentioned how easy they are to make.

          A sling with just a little bit of training can put out a lot more damage than a slingshot and it’s literally just a rope and a rock. It’s harder to aim but that’s what the backyard training is for.

          Humans have been killing each other for [reasons] since before we even evolved into humans, if somebody is determined to do it, you’re not realistically going to stop them by depriving them of weapons. Our bare hands are deadly weapons. It’ll get done somehow.

        Please lobby for gun control.

        I know a few guys who are into red hatwear… With a lot of guns who might not enjoy that very much.

        so you want the guns taken?

        No, I want the pot stirred enough for us to take our country back.

          Millions of Americans are like you, sitting on the couch hoping the conditions will be perfect tomorrow so they can finally do something.

          It’s been eight years since Trump was elected, and longer since Citizen’s United. You’re not going to do shit. Stop cosplaying a vigilante for internet points.

      I would love nothing more than to redirect school shooters to stop shooting at their peers/innocent folks in schools.

          We can fix that. Of course I mean by imposing rent (taxes) and in no other way.

    It’ll be like that town that got together to kill that one asshole and no one would say shit about it. That dude got murdered by a whole town, this dude got murdered by a country.
