statistically speaking, these things aren't something to worry about

same with terrorist attacks

just live your life and if you get struck by lightning or shot by an FA, it's just the way she goes, boys

I saw an interview with a student who said police led them out of their room past the dead, bloody bodies of three students and a teacher. Way to go guys, couldnt even throw a blanket or a tarp down over them first?

Ignoring the fact this is how you had to get a single shot off just up till the last 100 years.

Fundamental differences is what we disagree on. We both want the same outcome, but we have different ideas of getting there.

The war on drugs failed, making them illegal didn't stop anyone from using them. Why do you think it'll work with guns? Why do you think that you won't just be harming law abiding, sane citizens?

Why do you favor leaving guns in the hands of criminals but taking them away from citizens? Do you think the shooting today would've been 100% prevented had the sale of firearms been illegal? Do you think that he wouldn't have tried to obtain them through another avenue?

I don't believe that banning the sale and possession of firearms will fix the gun violence problem here in the US. I've lived here my entire life (32 years) and I know the culture. We romanticize war, we see people die on TV every day, literally, we breed narcissism through the media to our youth, we're literally bombarded with negative/false information on a daily basis.

The problem isn't the firearm, it's the person holding it. If you ban the sale/possession of firearms, criminals will be the only people with them and then we're really ****ed.

Because so many other countries banned guns, from developing countries to top economies, so I think it would be better for US too. Also, being addicted is different than killing, those 2 are not comparable and have different backgrounds.
I also don't believe that banning guns will solve 100% the violence, but I really think it would lower it. I also agree that the problem is the person holding it, but you still need to protect yourself from those people by limiting them, they also need to be protected from themselves.

Oh please.

Go read up on World War 2. The Japanese were more barbaric than even the Germans.

Now Japan is docile because they've been bombarded by propaganda as a side effect of the 2 bombs and the Marshall program.... but those dudes have some cold blood running in their genes. Read up on how they used to capture women and put them in dog cages to be used as prostitutes, and how the Japanese men would treat them.......

I swear the average person's knowledge on history is maybe some cliffs on the Founding Fathers, slavery in America, and the Holocaust. Look up UNIT 731 under Imperial Japan, you literally cannot be anymore inhumane towards human beings than that. And most of those guys received immunity after signing a treaty with the U.S. and went on to be probably businessman in the pharma industry.

When is enough enough? When are we going to see a tragic shooting like this and do something about it? Why do you only see politicians talk about shootings when they happen and then get forgotten days later?

It's time to take a swift course of action before our entire society crumbles. I honestly don't see a solution short of taking every single gun of the street. (Yes I know that will never happen, but with the mental health the way it is in America right now the majority of people cannot be trusted with guns) We need to see some serious dialogue not from the media, but the President and our leadership. A tweet is not going to cut it anymore.

Just ban the ****ing guns. It will help, i will do something. If you care enough you would just ban the guns. Your society is ****ed. Sometimes a nuanced debate isn't needed and the banning of guns is one of them.

Reportedly, the shooter

Funny thing about how people think...the **** that kills kids every day isn't a big deal.

It's what 13 teens die from texting and driving accidents every day. meh, too routine, can't worry about that

Alcohol related car accidents? A thousand roadway fatalities a year in just one regular size state? meh

“Those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.” -Big Ben

That is all... enjoy your arguments

are you retarded? There are big pushes to make texting and driving a law. Its a huge issue that is discussed often and people are doing something about it

And we banned alcohol, it just didnt work out but least we tried.

Owning an AR-15 essential liberty, ok.

True story.

Although I'd say "many", your statement implies only one. That's not going to cut it.

DUI same thing. Clearly the laws in place don't work.

Kind of like the criminal empowerment zones the idiots call "gun free". They dont' work.

Swift course of action?

No "gun free zones" unless every single person who enters must go through TSA/courthouse style security, manned by armed peace officers, every single time. Otherwise, carry by the law abiding is allowed.



You clearly have absolutely no idea what the reality is if you think the majority of people cannot be trusted with guns. THere are only 300+ million privately owned guns, and the % that use them to commit crimes is so small you probably cannot comprehend it as a number. But don't let reality and facts get in the way of your feelz

spewing gun statistics isn't helping anyone. The logic behind saying only a small percentage of people use guns to commit crimes is fundamentally flawed.something created for the sole purpose of efficiently killing other people doesn't have place in society anymore.

This is the same country that called blacks 3/5s of a person

Texting and driving IS illegal. You really want to stop all those senseless deaths? Make it a felony on the first offense, minimum 1 year prison sentence.
