"This time the shooter is 22-year-old Elliot Rodger. Like clockwork, the cry goes up blaming the National Rifle Association and calling for tougher gun laws. But this time there’s a problem for believers in gun control. The Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence and the Law Center to Prevent Gun Violence gave an “A-” to California's gun control laws, passed as they were by one of the most liberal state governments in the country."

But that won’t stop the gun control lobby from exploiting the victims. They don’t know the meaning of shame.
What would have stopped him was one armed and trained citizen.
Liberals are accessories to terrorists and Dr. Spock daddy training of little “never wrong” Trayvoned gays like him. Of course they are going to blame legal gun owners as accessories to the gun availability instead. It would not stand in a court of law to blame a neighbor hunter who had nothing with the murder,but it stands with liberal brainwash and voter fraud.
You mean one armed and trained Oriental roommate?
I agree but we cant be everywhere at once. I dont know if its possible but keepin a gun out of Rodgers hands would have been a good thing to do.
Let's not forget three victims were stabbed to death.
When they try to exploit this, ask them why they aren’t pushing for knife-control, too?
Carrying of a concealed blade of more than 1 1/2 inches in Santa Barbara County is a felony. (carrying of a loaded gun in the passenger compartment of a moving vehicle is a misdemeanor, unless done during the commission of a crime (such as carrying a concealed blade) where it too becomes a felony.)
So we can’t blame all mozlums for the actions of a few ay?
But we can penalize/deprive/blame all Americans for the actions of one.
“Let’s not forget three victims were stabbed to death.”
Three people killed, one wounded in a Myrtle Beach, SC shooting over Memorial Day weekend during Black Biker Week, the same number killed by Elliot Roger in California the same weekend. Where is the press hysteria on this mass shooting?
We are dealing with people controled by demons.
What’s the answer to a guy like Rodgers?
Horribly mentally ill, sick, evil. How do we keep a gun out of his hands without violating the rights of others to have guns? It was all there, on U Tube, his counselors knew he was whacked out, his parents knew he was whacked out. We can’t let a guy like this have guns.
There has to be some effort made, laws enacted to get a guy like this reported to the authorities and get him committed. IMHO
Gun control enables people like Elliot Rodger. Virtually all of our mass shootings have occurred n gun-free zones.
Agreed. But this guy should have been committed! How can the next guy like this actually BE committed? It’d be much better if rampages like this didn’t happen so often.
You can blame all Christians for the action of one, you can blame all Tea Party members for the action of one, you can blame all Republicans for the action of one...
Nothing has changed, everything is measured up against the opinion of liberals - if it is a cause they hate (say if he was a smoker), it is okay to express bias. But if you mention that he looks like your typical Islamic terrorist, that is forbidden. If it weren't for double standards, liberals wouldn't have any standards.
Those violent video games where you kill and reset had a lot to do with developing this monster also. People like this live in that world instead of the real world.
WE need much tougher commitment laws. Liberals and our libertarian friends will fight it, but Elliot Rodger is the latest proof that it must be done.
Not good enough.
There is still metal in the state.
ALL METAL MUST BE BANNED!!!1!!1!
BTTT!
