    you said he is being interviewed about "being a fan" of the Daily Show. Come on.

    He looks like a younger version of the dude on FB that was on HuffPo, but I could be wrong. Any reliable source that says that's him or are you just going by what the YT uploader says?

    I'd be happy to answer any question you have from my POV, but your second sentence seems ignorant. The events of the last few months have only driven me closer to buying one and a CCL. It'll probably happen when I get back home after the holidays.

    It's not rocket science. It's usually as obvious as can be.

    It's something that could be taught in our schools in a one-time, one-hour class.

    how many veterans (in government, socialized, VA healthcare) have their mental illnesses treated?

    Why is it easier to buy a gun than it is to get mental health treatment?

    Stupidity of people in the shooter's life, who either help push him over the edge or ignore the warning signs due to apathy.

    Mental illness, which has steadily increased at the same pace the 1%'ers have taken healthcare availability away from the average citizen.

    Guns, which have been removed from the average citizen's possession or restricted from places where crowds gather.

    Nobody buys a gun and a concealed carry without the expectation that they will use the gun in public. Why buy one otherwise? Seriously.

    It was a video from after the 2008 election, which explains why he looks younger.

    Anyhow, whatever. Thought it was interesting to show he wasn't some wild-eyed psychopath with some manifesto. Seems like a normal college-age guy in the video.

    I honestly think it's more a mental health issue than a gun control issue. I'm not sure what needs to be done about it, but I think our Nation needs to start there

    Well that's a bit too sweeping. I don't have CCW, but I imagine many who buy a CCW do so hoping that they never have to use it.

    Countdown to blaming Obama for not giving him a job begins now.

    I'll go further with this in terms of morality and how it applies to the value of life itself, but that's for a different day, and way too deep of a conversation this country is ready to have, judging by the meltdown some of my friends are having on Facebook with their silly emotional rants.

    In fairness, you don't see the blacks and Hispanics that he gave all the jobs to doing this. :D Kidding
