And I really don't think we need to get all metaphysical to explain that a rot-brained individual who had immense firepower in his house went off the rails... No spooky external "eeeeevil" influence needed...

How about if his mom had just had fewer, or no guns? How about if his mom hadn't had a frickin military-grade assault rifle on hand? Might that have made a difference??

@ 12 - I think you're exactly right. It's that oversized dinosaur brainbit that so many conservatives sport, that sets their world view, that convinces them that they are under attack AT ALL TIMES... that causes them to buy 100+ round clips for their military-grade assault rifles.... fuck

Constant advertising. Being told, ad naseum, what they NEED to do RIGHT NOW or their LIVES ARE IN DANGER!

All the advertising we receive is almost akin to torture. One can only resist the neverending onslaught of it for so long before it finally breaks your will.

Did you ever see the study that claimed conservatives have a bigger "fear center" in their brains than liberals? If that's scientifically sound, it's probably where those attitudes are born.
