Strange How It's So Predictable
Or maybe not.
After attacks, Europe hurries to tighten gun laws
I think people should just come right out and say it. Far too many of these shooting rampages are patently suspicious.
I currently don't have a decent enough internet connection to look up and to link to the consistencies with so many of these incidents, but they're easy enough to find.
It's invariably with firearms.
The shooter, along with people he knows, will murder indiscriminately.
He's described by witnesses as impassive while he kills at random.
He either dies from police fire or in a majority of these things, conveniently commits suicide.
He generally has a history of being drugged by pharmaceuticals, a family background associated with the military or both.
The timing coincides with efforts to pass restrictive new gun laws.
To me the one factor that sets my bullshit antenna quivering is the shooter's behavior while he gets busy. A good example was the Luby's restaurant guy who drove his vehicle through the place's glass front, got out and walked casually through the place and was described by a lot of terrified witnesses as calm and methodical. Too many shooters have been seen to operate in this cool manner going all the way back to Sirhan and Bobby Kennedy.
This isn't normal at all, humans engaging in bloodshed are at the limits of bodily functions with racing pulse, sweat, tears, rapid breath, you name it. You can't tell me that literally dozens of shooters over the years all somehow had this same detached, Buddha like calmness as they went about blowing strangers' heads off.
And a lot of the incidents are strange indeed. Maybe the most obviously suspicious one is the Port Arthur, rampage in 1996.
35 people died and 21 were wounded at a tourist destination in Tasmania. A guy named Martin Bryant pled guilty and is currently rotting in a dungeon.
But guess what? There was absolutely no evidence linking Bryant to the shootings or Port Arthur, aside from vague unsubstantiated police declarations. No fingerprints on the guns and ammo dragged out by the police, evidence at the scene didn't match the weapons, the victims seemed to have been shot with deadly precision, and what an astounding kill ratio for a man so mentally retarded with an IQ of 66 that he couldn't work.
Very soon after that Australia forced severe gun restrictions on it's citizens.

The effect certainly is extreme. I mean with people normally considered fairly objective and reasonable; suddenly they go rabid when you disagree with their support for stricter gun-laws and regulations.
It's a little like the same effects with abortion, some people are so strongly opposed to anything that has an exaggerated kill ratio, they fail to understand that it isn't the fault of the laws that these things happen, it's simply the fault of some very sick or evil people that lack conscience. Taking everyone's rights away isn't going to make all that much of a difference.
If people are bad enough, they'll always find away to do bad things, no matter what laws are passed, and taking away the public's rights to bear arms doesn't change anything, it merely gives the bad people more power.
