What damned agenda is that exactly?

 

The agenda that doesnt want to see something like this happen again? or have i just been arguing for shits and giggles? I dont even live it the US so i couldnt give a damn about any political agenda you think i might have.

Trying to argue that senseless deaths like this need not happen is not being ignorant or closed minded, so dont try and tell me i dont realise the tragedy of the situation.

The one that blames a weapon over a person. The specifics of the weapon do not factor in here. A million things could be substituted for gun and the same end result. The same cannot be said for the people involved.

he didn't blame the weapon over the person.  He's saying without the weapon maybe the kid could have survived.  That doesn't mean the person isn't the problem, but you can't do anything about crazy people.  Seriously though, how do you explain how a country like Canada that shares most of its culture with the US, watches the same TV shows and movies, has the same culturally diverse population but the homicide rate is 1/4 that of the US.  Obviously there is something that can be done, but you're just fine with just moving on.
