    I thought it might make more sense to post this in this thread than the Parkland-specific one.

    It seems like the mental health angle has really taken hold in Republican ranks.

    This is from 2012 after the Aurora shooting, but it's still very much relevant.

    Teachers, when the right wing complains about “wimpy, liberal teachers” and yet want to force

    “wimpy, liberal teachers” to stare down a military weapon wielding maniac and shoot them because

    the right wing is too ****ing cowardly to take on the NRA:

    A few of my favorites:

    Orion Diana Henning You teach the kid to not be a dick and then the kid CHOOSES to not hit others with a stick, a kid can get a stick whether or not you tell them they can have one, so the smartest and most responsible thing to do would be to teach them right from wrong and all of a sudden you have a kid who doesn’t hit others with a stick


    Wu Tong I’m not pro gun nor anti gun but I’m just saying we may be focusing on the wrong thing. Nobody dare to hit another child with a stick in a martial arts school that teaches everybody stick fighting.

    Cheryl Dotson McCartney I don't understand the need to own an assault weapon that can slaughter innocent lives. No one wants to take your precious guns away. Only ban these types of weapons and raise the age limit to 21. Stronger background checks. If you're a law abiding citizen you have nothing to worry about. I agree we need better mental health care but wasn't it the intruder in the White House who cut the mental Health budget. People need to get their priorities straight. A human life is more important then owning a weapon of mass murders.

    Only 6.5% of gun owners belong to the NRA.

    I keep hearing that people who commit domestic violence should not be allowed to have a gun but we allow them to be cops. Studies have shown partners of police officers are abused at 2 to 4 times the normal rate. Shouldnt there really be a zero tolerance policy for domestic violence by police? Beyond that should there not be a zero tolerance policy for police who cover up DV. For example, if an officer responds to a DV call and the wife is all beat up and the husband is a cop but he refuses to arrest him because it would cost him his job.

    I got a lot more links if you dont like that one but you could google just as well as I can.

    The gun debate isn't about policy. It's about identity...

    And identity is zero-sum in a way policy isn't.

    That's why compromises that seem sensible never happen.

    Didn't know the victims.

    Motive "under investigation".

    ABC7 News sources confirm the YouTube shooter was a user of the platform. Nasim Aghdam has a website with an alleged manifesto that targets YouTube for censorship and demonetization of her video content.
