So you asked for examples of his work, and he sends you Garry's Mod screenshots of Half Life maps?
I'd tell him to fuck off. He's insulting you by posting screenshots of Half Life, so as far as I'm concerned being as rude as possible is fair game.
You don't need to deal with potentially chasing this guy down if he tries to pass your work off as his. That's an inconvenience you could live without, and you don't have any obligations to this guy in the first place.
@Captain: Yes, Half Life Source maps will run under Gmod.
Edit: If there's any doubt left at all, ask him for Hammer screenshots.

The issue isn't, "Crazy people will always find a medium for massacre," as so many people seem to want to say (not seeing that here, though). It's, "In a nation where guns have a history of being accessible, how do we avoid enabling massacres by people who would normally not pose a threat?"
That's a really, really tough question. And, as some of you have said, that's a real challenge for a country that has quite literally grown up with access to firearms being a federally acknowledged right--not a privilege.
Mental health checks as a proposed solution have been the topic of discussion everywhere today, but even that is problematic when we consider what's fair and unfair.
You have to keep in mind that gun rights in America have also brought about very, very popular sports and past times that have absolutely nothing to do with self defense. Skeet shooting and game hunting are two big ones that come to mind. I can't emphasize enough that activities like these are a part of American tradition, and it isn't reasonable to expect them to just disappear.

Why not upload it to the vault?

Also, lol at Dimbark's post.

Almost.

Well it does on my end, at least.
All these years.
I probably wouldn't exercise at all otherwise.
I wish I had something better to say, sorry
Oh the days go by.
Happy birthday!
It's the god damn US. You'll probably find a public computer on every corner.
Also, Scots are the only people I've seen who acknowledge their accent on a regular basis.
