Just to bump the thread, this has been posted on my FB page and some back east friends and family members are jumping on the train. Pretty f0cking embarrassing to be honest.

I'm seriously embarrassed and trying hard to hold back from posting. Damn.

It's ignorant on an artistic level.

You can't teach tolerance. It has to be learned. Some people just miss the boat.

it seems more or less impossible to stop **** like this from happening

whether it be some autistic loser shooting up a movie theater.. or a racist kid shooting up a black church... or a islamic extremist shooting up some marines

basically it's easy to get a gun and go on a random rampage

and i don't see gun control as a way to stop this either, unless you can literally make it nearly impossible to get a gun in america. which sounds pretty difficult to me.

call me a cynic but i don't see any obvious solution other than move on and take some comfort in the fact that you are statistically much more likely to be gunned down by someone you know or some random gangster than you are to be a victim in a high profile "terror" attack

It's not cynical it's realistic.

You read the OP and thought this was all about gun violence?

Dude.
