the 20th century was the bloodiest century in human history.

Measured how?

---

measured by how we've industrialized killing each other to a point to where we can kill hundreds of thousands with one bomb. we're at an unprecedented point in history where military supremacy poses an existential threat to all of humanity. you say that "the truth is out there if we only look" while you make these claims that aren't even generally based in the real.

In centuries past dictators extinguished more than 12% of our surface population and yet you didn't know that.  What is real?  I guess you need to go back to class and find out.

I think about the visitation of violence and death upon children in the US today and I am saddened, not for the same reasons that everyone else is saddened.

My sadness comes from the realization that in many other nations there are children being tortured and slaughtered that none pay any attention to;

The child soldier bleeding out in the jungles of Africa is forgotten, the little girls who are
mutilated by circumcision are cast aside, the children in American ghettos catching stray bullets are deemed nothing more than an statistic.

Why do you think that these kids are any more important than the countless others who die around the globe? You might think that I am jerk who is trivializing a great tragedy, you are wrong, you are the jerk because you think that because I point out the deplorable state of the world that I am somehow detracting from the tragedy of today.

The world is a sickening place in many respects, you can hide away from the truly nasty stuff, and if it takes someone pointing out that today's shooting was just another disgusting moment in the horror show that we call the human experience, then you are truly a low human being if it takes something of this magnitude to draw you out of your social networking, self centered, "progressive" life, then you might actually see the world for what it is and find some semblance of drive to perhaps create change for the better.

Then so be it, this is my cry to the ignorant masses. You either wake up or give up.

This species makes me sick, I am tired of what we have become

WTF Jesus, usually I agree with you, but gun control is needed when some dumbass can just randomly execute a bunch of kids.

if guns are outlawed only outlaws will have guns.

guns are ALL that keep government from tyranny.

the peoples' liberty's teeth" – George Washington


sounds like you don't understand freedom and how fragile and hard won it is in the fucking slightest.

just LOOK at what happens to countries that outlaw personal firearm ownership. look at crimes rates. THEY GO UP BECAUSE PEOPLE KNOW THAT AVERAGE CITIZENS AREN'T ARMED.

He probably could have killed just as many kids with a sword, they would have a died a much more painful and gruesome death. stopping guns won't stop killing. As if you could actually stop guns in the first place, it's impossible.

u seriously think they still woulda killed 20 people with a sword? doubt it

guns take one second to kill someone and u can do it from a distance, not the case with a sword

guns are much more danergous and lethal than swords in every imaginable way
