[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Perhaps we should shift our focus onto Tyler’s parents who thought is was perfectly acceptable to probide their young child with machine guns rather than blaming a possibly trans roomate?[/quote]

It's safe to say that his militia upbringing had a role but so did the roommate/boy-girlfriend.  It's all connected and they are all internet nut jobs.[/quote]
But if you prioritize the issues here, the trans roommate is the least important unless he is an accomplice. It all began with Tyler’s parents giving him machine guns obviously.[/quote]

They can't be separated like that.  They fed into each other.  The main common denominator is the radicalization and violent rhetoric that came at this guy from two different angles.[/quote]
Nope the #1 common denominator is that a radicalized person was given guns.[/quote]

It's not because if it wasn't a gun then it would have been a bomb. [/quote]
Sure, let’s get rid of guns first.[/quote]

Zero people killed by bombs in the US last year.

>40,000 killed by gun violence.

Seems reasonable to start with guns.[/quote]

Radicalization finds a way.  I'm primarily concerned about the way violent and dehumanizing rhetoric has steeped into our society at the same time as the social bonds between us have broken down.

Easy access to and fetishization of guns is part of the problem but the underlying issue is the backdrop of radicalization, isolation and extreme either/or thinking.[/quote]
