It's been noted that mass shootings like VT and the NE mall incident only happen when the government is getting ready to decide on gun control issues. It sounds a little too much like a conspiracy theory for my tastes, but it's hard to believe that it's all just coincidence. Contemplating Mass Murder in Omaha |
Oh please... how exactly would some kind of liberal legion of doom plot out these massacres? Do they go to high schools and find some weirdo loner kid and give him a gun and tell him to shoot up his school? Never mind the fact that the guns used were always registered to the shooters, or their family members. Never mind that the shooters were real people with a real past of mental health issues that is documented, on the internet, through video, writings etc. Your right it's way too hard to believe this.
Since gun control is and has always been an ongoing issue in politics, I don't find it hard to swallow one could draw parallels between shootings and court decisions.
And it's not all coincidence. These people learn from each other, copy each others crimes. The vt shooter obsessed with the columbine kids, etc.
As people have said, the problem here is a psychological phenomenon, and it's very multifaceted.
