Does a hormonal, upset, suspended student, left to sit at home all day and watch TV and other media, get ideas from the constant stream of I-594 propaganda?

Reminds me of I guy I use to work that was from Seattle that thought guns kill people and he thought all gun rights activists are a bunch of trigger happy rednecks. I have no idea where he got this imagine about gun owners but it is what it is. It just proves to me the mentality and how uneducated the anti gunners really are.I keep seeing the Media call for restrictions on the 2nd...lately its been I-594 driven. They keep stating that the framers were speaking to the technology of the day [muskets.]
They are such hypocrites because they utilize the technology of the day to circulate their right to freedom of speech/press. If we tried to limit them to hand written or physically printed media, they would freak out, though I believe they should be restricted from showing the names/faces of these psychopaths, just glamorizing the event.
Slightly off topic, but related to a discussion I had today regarding this event:
Earlier today, an anti-gun friend of mine was going on and on about how he knows I-594 would have done nothing to prevent this tragedy, but insisted we had to do "something." He enjoys his bourbon, so I proposed what is in my mind an equal scenario (not that I agree with this, I was merely trying to push his buttons to get his attention.)
- Serialize all bottles of alcohol sold.
- Install one-way, tamper evident valves (to prevent refill, so serialization can be enforced.)
- Require a 5 day wait before you can pick up the item [alcohol] you paid for.
- Run a background check for DUI/Domestic violence/whatever else.
- Require a transfer (background check + wait) before passing the bottle to your friend to take a shot.
- In the event a minor is in possession of a bottle of alcohol, hold the owner accountable.
- In the event the bottle is used in a crime (bludgeoning, stabbing) hold the owner accountable.
- In the event an unauthorized person consumes the alcohol and does something irresponsible, hold the owner accountable.
- Allow the Sheriff to enter your home to inspect your liquor cabinet to ensure things are properly secured (which the antis have tried, and we are headed fast in this direction, relates more to I-591.)
I ended by mockingly stating "this would probably save at least one life, so we should totally do it, because if it saves one life its worth it."
He disagreed with me, stating this wasn't the answer to drunk driving deaths (which it isn't, he's right about that.) How he reached that conclusion, yet thinks I-594 needs to be passed...I really don't know...it's about as apples to apples as it gets.
It's amazing how people use these types of events to demonize the lawful and good gun owners in America, asking more and more of us each time one of these tragic events take place, when most people find it inconvenient to pull their ID out of their wallet for five seconds when they get carded at the liquor store.
Another rally for gun control, another Wash. sheriff against it
While backers of billionaire-funded Initiative 594 are planning one more rally this Saturday – using the Marysville-Pilchuck school shooting as something of a campaign prop – another county sheriff has joined 26 of his colleagues to oppose the measure.

The Pussifacatiin of American boys is a very real thing. American kids and especially boys have very unreal expectations. They are taught in school that they will always succeed and if you simply try that's Goodnuf. That's not the way it works in the real world as we all know. Life is often messy and painful. It is very seldom fair.
I had some very real world experience with this. My oldest son who is mostly raised in Seattle by his single mother while I was in Idaho was one of those subjected to schooling where there was no failing grade. Any time that he had a major confrontation at school his mother pulled him out of class and moved him to a different school. He was a great kid, everyone loved him. Smart, articulate and had lots of friends.
He was 19 when he hung himself, devistated that the girl he hoped to marry found another guy away at school.
I don't see it as much different that what this kid in Marysville went through other than my boy went alone. There are consequences to sheltered fairytale make believe childhoods. We are not doing our kids any justice.
