I live in Dekalb, IL, right by Northern Illinois university. Yes, there was a shooting today. In my own town. I live here. People are dead. I don't live too far where the shootings took place. Kids I may have seen come into my job, saw at party or on the bus could have been in that room. Luckily, I was not an NIU student, thanks to doing badly in school, so I was far away from campus and was working somewhere safe. Nobody I knew was injured. So far 5 kids have died. I'm scared, sad, confused and I don't feel safe being anywhere anymore.
I just want to say...Men cut it out. Women don't do this. This is you. And it's mostly white men. Supposedly the shooting was racially motivated. An ignorant racist, with no education and didn't have any special knowledge that only he possessed. Some dumb white kids, who never struggled to live, never lived with real loss. These ignorant males, who don't know what suffering is. Everyone gets picked on. I have many many times. I've been a loner too. I've had close friends fail me. I sometimes want to die when I wake up in the morning. But I don't go ballistic on innocent people, that doesn't solve anything. You're dead now anyway. What did that solve? You're not cool with your gun, you have no real life philosophy, because you have nothing to say by killing innocent kids.
Now on to gun control. No we simply cannot get rid of guns altogether, that's silly. I want a gun for self defense myself, especially now. I've been a victim of crazy men. I was once almost abducted by a psycho evangelist who came up to me at a grocery store, with my mom. I wasn't even alone. This is crazy men. Women you need to protect yourselves from men. They're sick. Not all of them. But don't trust any strange man who might seem mentally ill.
Giving everyone a gun will not stop this. Anyone crazy can pull a loaded gun on you faster than you can spell Mississippi. If you're a dumb kid, with a gun for self defense, and you don't know what you're doing, you can injure yourself quite easy or fail to respond to a crisis where someone else has a gun. No guns don't kill people, in the sense that they don't fly in the air and start randomly shooting. If we allow any kid to buy a gun, or just anyone, this happens.
There does need to be control. Sad to say, Bill O'reilly agrees with this. So no this isn't just liberals that want this. However, we cannot get rid of every gun in America, nor do I necessarily want that. There needs to be extensive background checks on people who wish to get a gun license, they need to prove their address and place of employment, they need to bring every form of identification, they need to check criminal files and medical files stating any mental illnesses or strange and criminal behavior, there should be a witness there to testify that the person requesting license is sane, finger prints should be taken, there should be a large fee for simply applying for a license, a large waiting period for obtaining the license, and the age of ownership should exceed 25 years of age. Or we could make it illegal for men to carry a gun. That might solve a lot. Yeah, some women might use it to their advantage, but still. Guns need more regulation. People need to be discouraged from owning a gun. Yeah, kids can use knives to kill, but knives don't slaughter whole rooms of people. You can throw a desk at a kid with a knife. A room of guys can take on one guy that doesn't have a gun to point.
There needs to be accountability with parents, peers and professors to make sure mentally ill kids get treated. I think suspect people, especially with a history of attempted suicide, need to get help, even if by force. Kids who are lonely need to be comforted and watched closely. Kids need to be discouraged from harassing others. We need to stop glorifying guns in our culture. No, I'm not saying get rid of every first person shooter game, but less should be sold, as those games suck anyway. Stuff like this should not be all over the news. I want FOX NEWS out of my town. Stop covering this.
You want to lower crime EH CONSERVATIVES? You do nothing to help society. You are the anti-progressive, the anti-change and the anti-compassion. You think doing the same thing over and over again and things will magically fix themselves, or god will. You think people should be forgotten and ignored. Help yourself is your motto. Well, why live in a society if you think that. Jesus said to help others, especially the poor. Why live in a country and give a crap about your freedoms. You don't care about poor, the needy or the lonely. These are the ones fighting this battle, They're the ones who want guns to shoot people. They're the kids who go ballistic inside schools. Kids should be safe to get their educations.
Crime has and always will be diminished by education and the lowering of poverty. No poverty, no crime. This is only worsened by you Republicans. It is you who wants to keep the federal minimum wage at $5.15 and help keep the poor poorer. Conservatives know nothing about the economy. Two thirds of the nations debt in the past 100 years has been under Reagan and both Bushes. Three Republican presidents.I have no reason to commit crime if I have the money I need to live and be happy, and I'm educated enough not to resort to violence to get what I want and need. Most crimes are committed by the needy, the hungry, the inflicted, the harassed and the mentally ill.
I couldn't even believe in a God who would allow crap like this to happen. Where was god when the gun shop let that guy buy a gun? Where was god when that guy walked into that room and opened fire on the innocent. They're dead now. They died in suffering. That's worse than just dying. God invented a world in which such suffering and murder can happen? If God created everything, he had to create evil. Humans cannot create matter or organization in the universe. God created Satan, and knew what would happen before it did. If God did not know, then he is not the creator. Yes, now I will quote Epicurus:
Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God?"
When and how does God prevent or help situations like this. Students at NIU have prayed for this not to happen, because there were threats earlier this year. It happened anyway. Praying has failed once again, for the one trillionth time. God did nothing to save the 5 dead kids. I seriously doubt Satan only causes men to kill, who were really mentally ill to begin with.
