When nothing happened after Sandy hook I lost all faith in America to do the sensible thing to help prevent these tragedies.
Power and fear. Sadly, our country cares more about guns than people.
Sadly, this. I've nearly lost hope. But, we can't afford to lose hope.
20+ elementary kids were murdered in school with an assault rifle and we did nothing. Same thing with Parkland this year. The only thing that gives me hope is March for Our Lives... otherwise, nothing will change.
America is beyond saving at this point. Rest in peace to the victims. Nobody deserves a fate like that. It's so heartbreaking.
I honestly don't think gun ownership is the issue. Other countries have legal gun ownership and do fine.
The issue is that we incredibly shitty gun regulation. Any idiot can get a gun with ease. Not just any gun, but assault style weapons. There's minimal training, licensing, follow up licensing, mental evaluations, courses, and so on.
I hate to say this, but it always felt like a matter of time before this happened at a gaming event. I worry that people will look to do this at bigger events now that this was done at a madden stream. Extremely scary, and I hope the people in hospital pull through
Yup. Sandy Hook was basically it. No one did shit about guns then, so no one will ever do shit about guns here. The issue is dead. People want their guns and don't care who dies in this country.
I'm not shocked, and scarily enough, I'm sort of inured to this news. Like, yeah, it is terrible, and I'm sorry that people were hurt or killed, but I feel like...oh, another public shooting, it's been a few months since the last one, yep, that happened again.
Pretty scary how normalized these things are.
Prayers to everyone involved and their families.
But this is what happens when you have such a low standard for gun control. No normal citizen should ever be allowed to even touch such horrifying tools. And it is the foremost duty of any goverment to enforce everything needed to stop such tragedies.

I didn't notice the red dot pointed at the player in the sweater. He's just sitting there smiling playing madden. Awful.
Jesus, did they edit the video feed just as it started, or is that coincidence?
Shooter was looking for a target and you see the goddamn laser in the video, wow.
Watch politicians literally try to blame games here, not a fucking culture where everyone feels like John Woo and public violence is a day-of-the-week affair.

I haven't seen any defense at all for this. What are you referencing?
Yeah I'm not going to watch this. But my thoughts and heart go out to the victims. The wild west may be fun in RDR, but a real society should not allow guns everywhere. Because this is the result, young people being murdered for just playing some videogames.
You had two police officers shot in May.
You had a jesus museum shot up in 2014.
Your country had way more lax gun control until 2006 and way less of a population than us.
It happens everywhere. Stop being a dick
Man and there was just another shooting yesterday at Florida too in Jacksonville High School. America is spineless in keeping more gun laws.
That's sorta where I'm at and it's incredibly depressing. All I can do I continue to hope next week will be better then the last.
Prayers go to the people there and their families.
Its very sad but at this point its normalized
If Sandy hook didn't make people learn nothing will rip

Yet when I play online games the amount of Americans enthusiastically talking proudly about their guns and in the same breath using it as a means to threaten people is astoundingly high.
They think guns make them men and tough guys at that.

Fix the cause not just the symptom.
Implement a new gun law and not detectors at every public building

People who defend guns in general. People who claim they aren't the problem. It's so frustrating man.
Sandy Hook also wasn't about banning guns. It was about regulations. Congress blocked any though.
I don't want to jinx NY, but NY has very tough gun laws, especially NYC and surrounding areas--NJ, CT.

After Sandy Hook, literally never. It'll be hard to top that mass shooting, especially when a large segment of the population just simply didn't give a fuck.
