Atheists don't pray, they add a temporary facebook profile banner and then tell Christians that praying won't do anything

I guess I'd just ask what you think the root cause of the mass shootings are if its not the massive gun proliferation in the US? I don't have to cite the numbers which the US has exponential mass shootings and firearm related deaths compared to other countries with stricter gun laws. Take away the premise that gun proliferation is not the problem, then what is it?

Trump = Mental Illness
IceAxe = Opiates/Drugs

If its those two we doing nothing of substance to combat both.

In case anyone says that NBC is fake news, here is it from Fox News:

http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2017...nd-checks.html

Excepts:

Obama's background check rule required the Social Security Administration to forward to the Justice Department the names of certain disabled beneficiaries for a database of individuals ineligible to purchase a firearm. The rule affects an estimated 75,000 beneficiaries who require a representative to manage their benefits because of a disabling mental disorder.

Republican lawmakers criticized the regulation for reinforcing a negative stereotype that people with a mental disorder are dangerous.

"There are people who need help and seek help, but that is not a criteria for taking away one's constitutional right" to own a gun, said Rep. Pete Sessions, R-Texas.

The Obama era rules you are citing would have stopped ZERO of the mass shootings to date. It was a law that kept guns from those legally allowed to own them. If you are elderly and had someone else manage your finances you would not be allowed to own a firearm under the program your are citing.

If you want to fix things the very first thing you need to do is enforce the laws already on the books.

Now let's talk about enforcing a law that would make a difference.... 80,000 people attempted to illegally purchase a firearm last year, of that number only 44 were prosecuted. Enforce the fricking laws already on the books and then we can talk about other improvements.

We could have a "mental health center" on every street corner...as thick as Starbucks and it wouldn't stop these guys. A switch has gone off in their heads.

Personally, I blame the media and our sick culture of violence and voyeurism. The very people screaming bloody murder about it are the same ones that shove their smut down the throats of our kids.

We've go a new TV show with Hannibal the Cannibal feeding people their own body parts. Nice, huh?

[DirkHammergate]

Okay, I'll keep a running tally

Trump = Mental Illness
IceAxe = Opiates/Drugs + Enforcing existing laws and go after illegal gun purchasers
TwoTimer = The media is to blame, possibly put mental health kiosks in every Starbucks
