love when people post the "tin foil" hats comments. So you believe the very little media and press release info as gospel without concrete evidence or proof released? Interesting how something can look so cut and dry to some and look so full of holes (pun intended) to others.

Ssssooooooo....lemme get this right,

If we beleive the news media we are idiots because ther is very little conrete evidence or proof but we should beleive this theory which has no evidence or proof?

:cogitating:

I guess it was posted on the interwebs so it must be true!

Conspiracy theories abound these days.

Not at all, I posted what I did to promote thought. There is so many contradicting stories online and the via media to simply make up ones mind imo.

Certainly you are free to believe what you want, however invoking thought or getting people asking questions is never wrong.

I am far from a conspiracy theorist either, I just don't easily believe stories that don't add up. I have no idea what really happened, but I don't believe the limited info supplied by the mainstream media either.

Just me, but I'd avoid using the "conspiracy theories" in your discussions with others concerning the current proposed gun control legislation. Stick to the basics....better mental health education removing the stigma behind seeking treatment, better reporting of mental health records to NICS by the states. Legally armed citizens HAVE stopped violent crime simply by being armed....and legally armed citizens commit violent crime at a fraction of the rates of the general population.

It's like correcting someone who calls it an "assault rifle"....we know the terminology....but most people could care less...popular culture has codified the term, we need to accept that and move on. All you do is sound like a snarky dictionary when you start the counterpoint with "It's not an Assault Weapon" or "It's not a clip". We can argue terminology in court...but the court of public opinion has already enshrined these terms of description...

Our argument for our rights to possess firearms are strong, we don't need to introduce smoke and mirrors.
Nothing to see here. Continue swimming.

Hmm'kay

The above linked "article" was posted two days after the shooting. Since then plenty of info has come out, and it all seems pretty clear what happened. Will we learn every detail? Probably not. I mean seriously, what do you want? A play by play walk-through? Should we have just turned the school into "museum" to satisfy any questions you have?

To all you conspiracy folks: please get off my side. You are the direct counterpart to the folks that are so blindly anti-gun

You make rational gun owners look like this to the world:Image
