Call of duty

[Robert]

One of the documents cites a gun safe that was found in Lanza's bedroom. When police arrived, the gun locker was open and did not appear to have been broken into, according to Sedensky.

In all, investigators found more than 1,600 rounds of ammunition in the house, according to the documents.

One of the warrants cites an interview with a person whose name was redacted who said that Lanza rarely left his home, that he was a shut-in, "and an avid gamer who plays Call of Duty, amongst other games." "Call of Duty" is a military-style war game. He also had many computers and one hard drive he destroyed. He has autism and why is this not brought up as a reason for this tragedy? Why was a autistic kid allowed to constantly play this military style game.? We blame guns yet hear nothing about this type of self imposed military style training that prepares for this type of event? WTF??

That doesn't fit into the liberal agenda! They want to control our guns & they're not going to let a good crisis go to waste. Mental illness has been the root cause of most of the recent shootings yet they want to regulate the stable law abiding gun owners.

I agree, the Call of Duty issue doesn't work with the Liberal Agenda......  and they didn't even consider that an issue at all from what I recall.

As for the ammo quantity.....  I assume it wasn't more than 1700 rds, otherwise they would have said that.... but 1600 rds of ammo isn't much at all if you think about it.  I know folks that have more than that.....  and ammo goes quick when you are out plinking and having fun.   That 1600 rds could be just like having 3 550 bricks of .22.    

As a side note... I have been writing a few of my local representatives and stated it is not a gun control issue as much as it is a people control issue. And, due to the recent mass shooting perps being of the registered liberal/democrat persuasion... the Repubs in office should be focused on controlling the liberals/democrats, not guns.

  you might use some caution before implicating autism or Asperger's syndrome with planned violent acts such as this shooting.  Many experts disagree with you.

3-4 guns?

1600 rounds of ammo for all?

Just a minimum start!!

i would bet 50%  or MORE of all around here have that much.

Of course, it is an "Arsenal", and "Why would anyone need that much?"

I would think 1500 rds per gun is a good start.

agreed, I've heard some evidence that mood stabilizing drugs or the interuption of them may be a cause.

[BigMacMT]

But if you take autism & add in an unstable home life & fascination withviolent video games & access to guns that seems like a bad combo.

[Jeff K]

Well, I might have a bit more ammo than the "crazy guy" .

For once I agree strongly with Donald...

Please don't demonize people on the Autism spectrum. Ya'll know at least one person who's on the Autism spectrum and that person is no more prone to violence than any other person is. (And they have a LONG history of playing violent video games too!)

I'd wager ya'll know a lot more than just 1 person on the spectrum too...

Let me make a frame of reference here with a analogy a computer is a good thing but does not make moral decisions. It can be used for good or bad, help or destruction it all depends on how its programed and what the programer puts into it. NOT unlike the personal decisions we as programers make of our own lives. Any mental illness or those not quite right which in the most liberal sense is all of us, need help sometimes to make the right decisions on what to input. In the case of a person who is mentally challenged this falls to their care taker or someone who will help and guide them to making the right decisions and living a constructive life. My hats off to these people that lead another person who needs help to do just that, live a productive life with what has been handed to them. I believe in the simplicity of a autistic mind that call of duty and guns should not have been what he was inputted all the time. I put the blame on the dead mother not the child. But I also blame the game that trains people how to kill, without emotion. We do flight training and tank training call of duty is just this and for the ones that are challenged a constant feed of this is all they may need to detach themselves from the real world. With the mix of drugs, mentally challenged and call of duty we don't know the things that could happen. How can we as a society give kids games that teach kids how to kill and consider this ok? We don't allow them in night clubs or pornography on the internet so how should we allow them to have access to this violent game? One Judge that took down the rules of the Ten Commandments in school said, "we may have kids see them and kids may start following them", so how much more are they prone to follow if they watch 10 to 12 hours a day of killing?? Garbage in garbage out, a known fact.
