Nick Cruz had at least two Instagram pages. The Instagram pages show a fixation with guns and knives. In one, the profile picture includes a MAGA hat.

still a teen with a ton of maturing and growing up to do. Seemed like your typical angsty teen. Unfortunately he lost his mind.

The people close to him in his life, including his family, failed to get him help adequately enough obviously. Or any law enforcement that knew about this shit.

He's a fucking teenager. What are we doing in this society where we can fuck a kid up this much in 19 years, and then let him get his hands on a small arsenal?

Do you have to go through a background check to buy a computer?


That background check was about as effective as doing nothing it seems.

You missed the point.

There are red flags that should have gone up on this guy, though.


Which is what? This fucked up guy should not have access to weapons that do that much damage to people. Guns are nothing more than expensive, super dangerous toys to people these days.

A history of threats, expulsion, going to school with bullets in his backpack, amongst the red flags those around him could have reported.

And no, guns are not toys. The majority of legal gun owners buy them for protection, hunting, or sport.


Hunting and sport are recreation. They are fucking toys. People successfully using them for protection are extremely rare.

Hunting is not recreation. It can be, sure, but it is not recreation overall. Hunting is the most humane and cost effective way to get meat.

And there are low estimates of 55,000 to highs of 4,000,000 instances of defensive gun use a year so you are incredibly wrong.


Where are these ranges from? How is a "defensive use" defined? Isn't the range so incredibly wide as to be useless or suggest that it was estimated in an unreliable manner? And isn't that an incredibly low number considering the number of guns and gun owners out there?
