    Well, Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen is coming out tomorrow and the price at $40 seems just right. Debating if should trade Fallout 4 right away or keep pushing to see if any enjoyment can be found from it.

    You may be right.

    But I am aware that, next to racism, gun control is one of the hottest debates in America right now. And I also believe that the best form of manipulation in our government is to give us some kind of horrific national tragedy that we can all get behind, and use it to pass the reforms and laws and regulations that otherwise would have been met with too much resistance.

    I’m not saying that all conservatives listen to country music, or that all people who listen to country music are conservatives... but it’s pretty reasonable that country music and an anti-gun-control mentality go hand in hand more so than any other genre of music.

    So you put a national tragedy in basically the backyard of everyone who has thrown the biggest fit about having their gun rights taken away, and you say “See? SEE????”

    I’m terribly sorry for everyone who has died or been injured, but our government has shown time and time again that they aren’t afraid to break some eggs in order to make an omelette.

    Whether this was orchestrated or not, no one can deny that it’s goung to be used as leverage for the gun control movement. And if it’s as effective as I think it will be, then I have a hard time believing it wasn’t part of the plan all along.

    Maybe the shooters wife could shed some light on her husband’s mental status, but I will be shocked if she’s ever found alive. Dollars to donuts she’s hanging from the door of some hotel room right now.

    Noticed one thing while checking out this shooting news. Cancer treatment ads.

    People espoused the same conspiracy theory about Sandy Hook. And then... nothing happened. If it was a conspiracy, it wasn't a very good one.


    You just can't handle my jawusumness responces.

    We'll see what kind of details come out about this in the next 48 hours. I'm not saying this is a particularly good one, either. But I do think it's going to work to the advantage of a lot of people, regardless of who was behind it.

    But Jessie, how many people laughed off the conspiracy theory about the JFK assassination being an inside job?

    Nothing wrong with thinking outside the box a little when we're so taught to think inside the box. And you mean to tell me today's mainstream media isn't using fear mongering lunacy to benefit themselves?

    Already people are already applying politics to it. ISIS claimed responsibility and why wouldn't they? The right says he is Antifa, the left media is absolutely desperate to nip that it in the bud and no one really knows who the hell the guy was including his own brother. Guess we'll just have to wait and see.

    He did have links to Cuba, which is where he was headed provided he didn't get caught.
