That is exactly what I was going to say. It's not uncommon to find out these maniac killers who mow down random innocents had already made it clear to LE or their friends or family that they were dangerous and unstable.

That's like asking for magic. Anyway there is no such thing as a "solution" to this problem. Oregon has a new law where family members can request that guns can be taken away from a relative who is acting like a mental case. Not a "solution" but that might have stopped this thousand Oaks killer.

My first thought was DUH California is the most populated state in the USA. Back east it's impossible to own a gun. Good grief dude that's totally incorrect.

But I think it comes across as making lite of the situation. I think Scrappers simply saw the words "thoughts and prayers" and thought of the meme. I kind of don't know what to say when someones loved one dies or is really sick. When there is a whole page of people "sending prayers" all I can think of is sending thoughts??? err WTF does that mean.

To go even further... most of the people (tRump included) that offer "prayers" or say they're "praying for....xyz" are full of shit fakes that talk the talk, but don't walk the walk.

Christ, peeps... y'all are making this WAY to difficult! I wad making the point that all of the thoughts and prayers don't mean a damn thing. They won't bring the victims back. And... many times they are empty any way. Just something people say. Or post.
I don't know what the answer is. I believe in my right to bear arms. But... something has to happen. It's getting ridiculous. Sent from my SM-G928V using Tapatalk

How do you know what is in the mind of whomever sends the thoughts and prayers or whomever receives the message? You don't, It's just a way to say I'm sorry, I'm empathetic, I feel your pain. It's supposed to console people. To let then know others care. I was just saying because I don't pray I don't quite know what to say. They won't bring the victims back No one said They WILL bring the victims back. That's pretty much a strawman comment
