Yeah... Gun reform doesn't mean take everyone's guns away, it just means that when people do buy guns, they are mentally healthy and have a clean background. It definitely won't stop all gun violence, but it is still something that is much needed.

That would only partially solve the problem.
"no guns, period" is the only good measure

Unless they are checks for mental health regularly, that won't solve much either. But any step in this direction will be good for all of us.

It's not as if this is reddit and we're propagating this info to people all over the world. At least from my perspective I just want to see the guy caught and following this thread will help me to get some sleep this morning knowing if they do catch him

Regardless, the obsession with this online vigilantism is disgusting. It just reeks of "I'm helping I'm helping!".

Listening to police scanner radio and blindly repeating nuances of police and detective information used in a specific way to determine course of action is negligent in my opinion. How many incorrect names and small pieces of information have already been reported, in the name of justice?

.... Wow.
 
I can't really imagine wide spread protection or a constant conceal and carry law working anytime soon in this country. I mean if everyone eligible carries a gun, I assure you that more deaths will result from that so I'm not so sure how the fuck people get away with saying things like "bad people make guns bad" or "guns aren't bad, people are."

Guns are the weapon of choice for a reason.I rather get stabbed at 8 times then shot at 8 times. Truth.

That said, nothings going to happen, like at all to guns.

What the hell is going on?
 
The comments on YouTube copies of the video are absolutely disgusting. So many people saying its fake and staged to help introduce gun control. Even saying that the sandy hook massacre didn't happen, because the kids that supposedly died 'sang at the superbowl'

Maybe that's how they keep tracking his phone pings because he's driving and tweeting, or someone is tweeting for him.

Perfectly 'normal' humans can be driven to crazy shit like this when something effects their mental state, the only way to stop them from shooting people is to not let them get guns period, and that is an untenable position as it's in the US Constitution.
You know what an "amendment" is, right?
 
Here is a pic of the alleged shooter and victims. From Twitter.

Damn, when is the US going to see sense and bring in gun control?

It's beyond belief they still continue to arm their citizens.

It truly is 2015 :/. Hope they catch the bastard quick and put him away for a very, very long time.

Its been retweeted 84 times already.

I fucking hate social media.

EDIT: OMG, he has his own footage he uploaded.
 
Welp the twitter is real, dude posted a video of him going for the kill in POV
Video stops before the shooting but looks real enough
 
I think it's way too early to blame "Mental Health" on what this guy did and no amount of gun legislation would've stopped him. He wanted to kill people during a live broadcast and he succeeded. If not a gun, it would've been a knife. If not a legal gun, it would've been a black market gun.

He knew where the reporters were filming live. He was capable of being smart enough to make the decision to kill those people, the people who had little to no relation to his termination.

If he makes it out of this situation alive, I'd love nothing more than life without parole.

i don't believe that for a second. There is something a lot more physical and gruesome sticking someone with a knife. There is a disassociation with guns. You could be stood 30 feet from someone

Fuck that guy filming that killing video on his twitter account...
