People don't kill people,people with guns do? Ok, tell that to all the stabbing victims. It's about growing up with a total lack of respect for human life. That's the bottom line folks.
Get rid of the guns and I can assure you - people will still get killed.
People choke on things too. It’s going to happen anyway so do nothing. Is this really your point?
With All Due Respect Russ, let me further clarify my 'Shotgun' comment so your on the same page with me.......When you have a moment research the number of projectiles in just one round of Number 4 Buck. This horrible tragedy was 'Close Quarters'. I WAS NOT referring to 'Bird Shot', but then, no one knows what this idiot was shooting, but if it was 'Birdshot', well....and No Sir, I didn't miss a thang about your BumpStock comment. Have a Good One!
Gun Control is the rage in politics.
Being a black belt in the martial arts and having a left-wing libertarian mind, guns are one of the few things Conseratives did get correct. My belief on guns is that all owners should be required to take an unarmed combat course in the event they don't have their weapon and need to get to it or to be able to get out of line of fire effectively.
As far as mass shootings, most common denominators involve:
Shooter with mental health issues using psychological drugs.
Shooter with issues in obtaining attraction with women/ history of being bullied.
Shooter with access to weapons despite not being a law abiding citizen.
Don't have an answer but can not blame the gun.

^^^^Gun control is not the topic.
A school shooting is.
How is that political?

I saw it, and it was brought up again after Santa Fe.
Chicago killings are mentioned, but I agree the coverage is not the same.
The gun ban folks have it wrong.
The do nothing folks have it wrong.
On the gun control side, NRA members are the key. They are okay with some solutions and don't have a problem with responsible gun ownership. Problem: NRA leadership isn't always in tune with their members.
On the people kill people side, if tech companies can collect data and target ads, they can help red flag potential crazies better. Problem: pesky privacy issues and tech leaders are more interested in making money. There was an executive order that made it harder for folks with mental health issues to get guns. For whatever reasons, it was rolled back. If the problem is a mental health issue, Congress could pass a law making it harder for folks with mental health issues to get guns. More money could also be allocated for mental health issues, but it's probably time to work on the recently ballooned deficit now.
Will doing something stop all future gun deaths? Nope. The goal is reducing gun deaths. Baby steps.
"Are you sure you saw what you saw?"
I don’t understand how racism has anything to do with this. I suppose some people feel any new gun regsmwould make them more vulnerable against the khaki invaders, but if I’m not mistaken, guns don’t care the ethnicity of their targets.
The Blind Leading The Blind......Cannot BELIEVE the 'Seguin, Tx. Church Shooting' hasn't been mentioned! That SICKO had a Mental Rap Sheet a MILE LONG!!! Especially while in YOUR Government's MILITARY!!! Your Government NEVER reported it to be acknowledged by the FBI's NICS SYSTEM!! A NEW LAW??!! FOR WHAT??? Its very OBVIOUS you Libs still DON"T GET IT as per what is required in a Background Check to purchase a Firearm. IF the LOCAL/STATE/FEDERAL Governments ARE NOT Forwarding the pertinent background on a person to THE NICS SYSTEM, etc, etc, etc....THEN HOW is a SICKO going to be BLOCKED?? The OTHER BIGGIE that NO ONE has mentioned in this 'Thread' is the FACT that this IDIOT at Sante Fe had a 'HANDGUN'. The IDIOT was UNDER 21,....THEREFORE, his Parents/Guardians ARE solely RESPONSIBLE for 'His Actions'!!!! If I'm not mistaken, IN EVERY ONE of these SICKO SHOOTINGS, there was ALREADY SUFFICIENT LE KNOWLEDGE, etc, making EVERY ONE OF THESE IDIOTS sufficiently SUSPECT to THE HILT,...PRIOR TO...the ACT!!
Get a DAMN LIFE and QUIT BLAMING ...'GUNS'!!!! JESUS!!!
Where in the Constitution does your right to keep and bear arms outrank the prohibition of murder? And
Lease don’t try and change the subject with some lame women’s health false equivalency.
If you are truly a law abiding citizen, then it would seem that capital murder would be first on our list of things to prevent.
The parents were at fault. But another 10 are dead. The solution can’t be “stop blaming guns.”
I’ve got a life, sir, and I’m aiming to keep it.

Shootings always stop when another gun shows up. 'Nuf sed.
