Who's responisibility is it?

[daveman]

We know now that Lanza's mother gave him the guns he used. Don't try to argue that. Just like the grandfather of one of the Columbine shooters who gave his g'son the guns he used. But, here's couple of different pov's.

Which is right? Neither? Both?

Lisa Belkin: Gun Control Is A Parenting Issue

You're obviously a misinformed idiot. She did no such thing. He killed her and stole her guns.

A most graphic and horrible case of storing guns carelessly and owning the crime.

Why do you refuse to hold the shooter responsible?

Why are you so soft on crime?

he just hates guns and would cheer this government if they tried to take away our rights on that..but don't suggest ending abortions to him..he'll shit some bricks

Just as acts of terror are addressed by society, continuous acts of terror with guns are the responsibility of the society that allows them to repeat themselves ad infinitum. If a plane crashed daily the wackos who think the 2nd amendment is about freedom to murder would be up in arms. They'd blame someone for surely it would be someone else's fault. Those who feel the need to be armed to the teeth are the weak and cowardly and this woman was another prepper according to an article today. Another nutcase loony with a sick son. Great combination.

"The tragedy isn’t one school shooting, it’s the unceasing toll across our country. More Americans die in gun homicides and suicides in six months than have died in the last 25 years in every terrorist attack and the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq combined."

And what others do:

"Other countries offer a road map. In Australia in 1996, a mass killing of 35 people galvanized the nation’s conservative prime minister to ban certain rapid-fire long guns. The “national firearms agreement,” as it was known, led to the buyback of 650,000 guns and to tighter rules for licensing and safe storage of those remaining in public hands.

The law did not end gun ownership in Australia. It reduced the number of firearms in private hands by one-fifth, and they were the kinds most likely to be used in mass shootings.

In the 18 years before the law, Australia suffered 13 mass shootings — but not one in the 14 years after the law took full effect. The murder rate with firearms has dropped by more than 40 percent, according to data compiled by the Harvard Injury Control Research Center, and the suicide rate with firearms has dropped by more than half.

Or we can look north to Canada. It now requires a 28-day waiting period to buy a handgun, and it imposes a clever safeguard: gun buyers should have the support of two people vouching for them."

Here come's the commies to TRY and take away your RIGHTS

REMEMBER, never let a good crisis GO TO WASTE

 

[georgephillip]

"Collective responsibility (Not Collective Guilt) is a concept or doctrine, according to which individuals are to be held responsible for other people's actions by tolerating, ignoring, or harboring them, without actively collaborating in these actions."

How are we responsible for the actions of Adam Lanza?
Our culture is saturated with "heroic" gun violence; movies, television, video games all promote killing as "a way to fix what ails us."

The fictional violence becomes real for the children in Afghanistan and Pakistan on the receiving end of US drone assassinations administered via joystick from a desk in Nevada or California.

Pundits across the political dial assure us killing is a necessary tool of public policy, usually without mentioning how rising inequality, poverty, and plutocracy are trends that guarantee rising violence in any society in which they are tolerated.

Our "President" keeps a Kill List.
Our military justifies killing Afghan children as legitimate targets.
Our Investor Class gets rich from wars most of them refuse to participate in.

Our collective responsibility for Adam Lanza's actions start with our support for $1.2 trillion in annual war preparations, our decisions on which movies or TV shows we watch, "and (our) public myths about how problems can be solved."

What's the solution?
Let's Try Democracy

sorry, we aren't living in a Communist country YET
And I wasn't born into some commune..
YOU can go start one though and go live there

We are living in a country that actively promotes gun violence through its institutions ranging from foreign policy to its media. You may have the conservative's knee-jerk reaction to the word "collective" but that doesn't make you immune to your responsibility for other people's actions if you ignore, harbor or collaborate with their root causes.

Do you support the murder of Pakistani children by US drones?
Do you buy the products of advertisers who sponsor shows depicting gun violence on television?
Buy any tickets to an action flick lately?
Ever vote for a Democrat OR Republican??

If so, you, along with millions of other Americans, bear a degree of culpability for mass killings in
America.

You leftists sure do like the kollektive, don't you?

Did you notice any "kollektive" aspects of the USAF?
Pakistani children have:

"Picture a family in a house in Pakistan. There's a little dot very high up in the sky above. It's making a buzzing noise. The dot is an unmanned airplane, a drone. It's being flown from a desk in Nevada. The family knows what it is. The children know what it is. They know their lives may be ended at any moment. And they are traumatized. They are in a constant state of terror.

"And then, one bright clear morning, they are torn limb from limb, bleeding, screaming, groaning out their last breaths as their home collapses into smoking rubble."

Get the picture?

No. Stupid.

What's your definition of the word "collective," Chomsky?

"This year's Department of Defense theme 'Hurts One. Affects All' and an Air Force-specific message of 'Real Wingmen Act' will reinforce the idea of acting as a team, demonstrate the value of bystander intervention and stress collective responsibility for prevention..."

Air Force officials focus on sexual assault

I'm trying to understand why the "Land of the Free" ignores so many dead children.
What about you?

"While the vast majority of those now writing on collective responsibility in philosophical circles continue to debate the possibility of collective responsibility, a smaller group of scholars has in recent years placed two further—and very important—concerns at the center of our attention.

"The first has to do with whether groups have to meet the same stringent conditions of moral responsibility that individuals do. (Intentionality becomes key here.)

"The second has to do with the advantages and disadvantages of holding particular kinds of groups, e.g., nation states, races, and ethnic groups, morally responsible in practice."
