I do not think it is violent video games. I do think though if somebody is already unstable, deranged or psychotic the games will not help. I am reaching a bit here though, some games allow for the interaction of players via headsets. It may be interesting to find out if he had any online interactions with other players from a psychological standpoint.
Also we are being told that he was teased in school because of his clothes and his family's lack of money...
The most effective way to stop a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun.
The type that commits these crimes against humanity are very concerned about the possibility of getting stopped before they achieve a body count.
Thus one of the reasons they choose soft targets like an unprotected elementary school.
With the $ we as a society spend on every thing else, the fact that there isn’t an armed professional in every school in this country is inexcusable.
My heart is broken for the children, their parents, the school staff, first responders.
All who will never be the same because of this day,
I thank God for the men and women who in times like this will face that evil and say “ here am I Lord send me!” Then do what must be done

We need a law that enforces self responsibility and accountability or your own actions.
As a society we have moved further from self responsibility and closer to government control over people. That creates victim mentally where everything is someone else's fault or responsibility. A person with all responsibly taken away feels that they no longer control their own life. They will try to take it out on the ones they think are responsible.
The progressives use this to control people. Look at the race issue for an example. It is now a handicap for minorities that they can use to blame their position in life. Nothing is their fault. It is all because others held them back. That gives them the ultimate excuse and also causes great anger against their perceived abusers.
The problem is it is very hard to move people out of that mindset, because they ultimately will have to realize that they are the ones holding them selves back and are to blame.

go back to page 4 post 32, you could also question owning fertilizer diesel or even cigarette lighters and flammable materials the list could go on forever
Why let an 18 yr old have a 5000lb truck? Statistically speaking much more of a problem.
I recall reading that the young adult brain doesn’t finish developing until around age 25, I don’t know how certain research on brain development is on that. I know from personal experience there’s certainly a broad range of emotional maturity in the is displayed by young adults from 18-25.
If I had to guess, our grandparents probably had to grow up a lot faster and hold more responsibility as an individual and as part of the family than most kids today.
I'll support raising the age limit for purchasing a firearm to 21, the same day they raise the age limit to vote, enter military service, be held accountable as an "adult" and every other right to 21.
Yeah, didn't think so...
I don’t have kids but I will add this, I do think a 25 y.o. SHOULD have more maturity than an 18 y.o. and outta know right from wrong.
I just know when I was 18 I was more hot tempered than when I was 25. If a girl broke up with me, crap just go out with two more. Don’t get all twisted cause of it.
