Re: A reporter and cameraman have been shot to death live on air in Virginia

It's an extremely complicated dialogue, with many levels.

But I think you could some up the recent state of the dialogue as left-wing people wanting to talk about either (a) gun violence and gun laws or (b) extremist ideologies, and conservatives replying by citing mental illness as the sole contributing factor.

All the liberals I know do a mix of both, i.e. 'we need gun control because people ARE mentally unstable'

*shrug*

FWIW I don't think most liberals would discount mental instability as a cause, it's more a question of emphasis

What liberals are you talking to? The ones I know blame a culture of violence and the glorification of guns, and if anyone suggests that people like James Holmes may not be entirely of sound mind, trot out the old chestnut "but statistics show that people with mental illnesses are more likely to be victims than perpetrators of violence!"

AFAIK the talk I hear (IRL) is liberals going 'more gun control pls so they arent lying around for mentally unstable people to pick up' and conservatives are going 'hdu if we restrict guns then only criminals will have guns and we can't defend ourselves' repeat ad nauseam
