Nobody is blaming guns. Nobody is saying guns caused the shooting

Then why are you ALL you Liberals calling for bans on AR-15s?

anon_3b28c says

What people are saying is that letting mentally ill 19 yr olds have access to weapons that can kill hundreds of people in minutes is a bad idea.

Why not address the mental issues without bringing inanimate objects into the discussion?

How many times have cars and trucks been used to kill in a mass murder. It's not a hardware issue, it's a mental defective issue.

All bad guys have guns, laws only stop good guys from having guns.

WildMind says

Stop comparing cars to guns. Cars have useful purposes that are required for commerce and commuting. Guns only have one useful purpose to kill things, and or scare people into running away because you might kill them.

Speaking of Gun Nut retards, here's a guy who chop saws his AR15 in response to the Florida shooting, saying that no one needs a AR15.

Problem is, the idiot cuts down the barrel but does nothing to the receiver.

He just immediately made himself a felon by having an illegally shortened barrel on an operating rifle.

More Liberal idiots on display.

Have fun with that felony charge for creating an SBR without a tax stamp.

Cut the receiver in half to support gun control. All you did was make a illegal short barreled pre-banned AR.

Anybody that owns and shoots AR’s knows the way to destroy it is by cutting the receivers, not the damn barrel. He cut the barrel down to about 4-5inches, which is less then the legal 16” on a rifle. He created a SBR. He committed a felony.

If the ATF does not act on this they are complicit in a felony NFA violation. He did it on camera. It is on Facebook and YouTube. He must do the mandatory 10 years in prison to show how stupid the NFA is as well as liberals with guns.

Poor guy lets his emotions get to the best of him instead of logic. When will these people realise that this will never stop crime, but make it much worst.

And besides that, you just commented a felony. No joke, no doubt about it. Unless you filled out the paperwork and have your stamp, you just broke a federal law. You just created a “sbr” short barrel rifle. 10 years and $10,000 fine.

Have fun with your felony charge and the publishing evidence of your crime! I am sure the ATF will take into consideration your political stance as they kick your door down. You could have just crushed the lower receiver and taken the bolt apart without committing a felony.

Because we should address all contributing factors in the solution.

That's an argument against having any laws at all. Only criminals commit crimes.

A psychological analysis of anyone wanting to buy an AR-15 would be addressing the mental issues. The buyer would need to pay for it. If you are suggesting a mental analysis for every single person in the USA, it's not practical and will never happen.
By the way, I'm still waiting for anyone to tell me the need for an AR-15 for the average person.

FortWayne says

All bad guys have guns, laws only stop good guys from having guns.

There are no laws that prevent you from buying a gun for defense. We need laws that prevent the sale of guns that can be used in mass slaughter within 2 minutes.
When was the last time 50 criminals came to hunt you down? You do not need an AR-15. It's purpose is to kill, not defend.

No, that's an argument against adding any NEW laws, because the criminals don't abide by the EXISTING ones.

None. Criminals honor no laws. I would fully support owning AR-15's if they were only used to kill criminals. Sadly, the foolish law states killing hard core criminals is illegal.

There is nothing AR15 does that a handgun doesn't do. One trigger pull = one bullet. It's just more accurate at range if you aim well, at close range and considering crazies are usually bad shots anyway with every weapon since they just "point it"... it's all same.

I could see an issue if he had an uzi or something spraying bullets, but the kid used a handgun I think, right?

The kid did report demon voices telling him who/how to kill... perhaps this is his lawyer's advice, BUT if true, his brain was completely gone. So yeah, when a drug reports a 1 out of a thousand chance of anxiety driven hallucinations, then someone should know not to give that poison to an already fucked up kid.

The issue is how many times you can pull the trigger and how fast. How many mass shootings are there with bolt action rifles or revolvers where you have to stop after a few shots and put in bullets one at a time? You guys are just full of crap with this it's all the same garbage. The only use for high capacity fast reload mags is to shoot lots of bullets very fast. At people, not deer. Or to make up for some serious sexual inadequacy. Hey sweety come check out my mag.

Hopefully, time will lead to those people getting voted out. Until recent times, even atheists have had to play up their religious cred. Many polls still do, as there are more religious nuts in our country than atheists.

One particularly senseless talking point of the gun nuts is that criminals don't obey the laws anyway, so gun laws will only disarm innocent people. The stupidity of this is that they are ignoring the fact that tough gun laws will put many of those criminals behind bars. If semiautomatic firearms were illegal, cops police would have probable cause to search any time rapid fire was reported. Furthermore, criminals would have a harder time getting firearms if 'innocent' people were not buying them left and right.

Another wrong talking point is the idea that arming everybody would stop crime, because there would be hero's all about stopping the few evil bad guys around. This would dramatically drive up the number of accidents, and make getting a gun super easy. All a criminal would have to do is break into a few cars, snatch a couple purses, etc. Best case scenario, this results in the wild west type atmosphere, which would be a disaster.

Finally, there is a strange need among gun defenders to state that people who kill themselves with a gun would just kill themselves with something else in the absence of a gun. This is not necessarily the case. The harder it is for someone to off themselves, the less likely they will be to do it on any given day, and the more likely they will be to decide not to do it. Some of the same people making this case are the ones arguing that the opioid epidemic is tragic, and the white male depression epidemic is tragic. Well, it's tragic if someone offs themselves with a drug or a gun. Both happen to be very easy, and they are easier when the drugs and guns are super easy to come by.

There are over 20,000 - 30,000 EXISTING gun laws on the books. Killing people is a felony. Criminals break those thousands of laws daily, that' why they're called "criminals".

Chicago has some of the toughest gun laws on the books, yet it's the BIGGEST killing field in the country... Explain that?

Mass shootings, usually gun or a rifle. No one uses bolt action since Kennedy assassination. We can't go back in time Bob, this is what world is today. Cops use modern weapons, soldiers use modern weapons, and yes criminals have access to all of them too. Only regular law abiding folks will fall under any new regulation, which makes any new regulation useless.

And the problem with last shooting, wasn't an issue of gun control. It was a failure of our government. People did what they were told "saw something, said something". it's the FBI that failed to act and investigate. Just like with Tsarnaev brothers. All these government crooks know is how to milk the system to spike their pensions, they don't actually stop bad guys. Because the only thing that stops a bad guy with a gun, is a good guy with a gun.

You are gullible if you think any law will stop someone who set their mind on committing a murder.

Defending yourself with a handgun, take a lot of practice. People don't want to do that. It's simply much easier to defend yourself with a gun that can spray bullets indiscriminately everywhere.

Criminals are doing mass shootings all around the country? Last time I checked most mass shooters bought perfectly legally. There is no reason whatsoever any civilian needs high capacity quick change clips. I hunted just fine for many years with a bolt action model 70 chambered for 30-06. If you are such a shit shot you need multiple high capacity clips then you shouldn't be hunting at all.

FortWayne says

No one ever said that, nice straw man. What could be done is make sending back round information mandatory, updating and modernizing the database, and requiring a back round check for all gun sales. Criminals can only get guns if some where along the line some legitimate gun owner sold a gun to some one who could not pass a back round check. Either through a private sale or straw buyer.

Exactly, so why didn't social services, who was treating him report his drug use?

Why didn't the cops, who went to his house over 30 times did deeper into his situation and report it?

Why didn't the schools he was expelled from have a investigation done?

Why didn't the FBI, who had TWO reports that he was going to kill, fail to follow up?

Why didn't anyone reading all his social media posts push for an investigation?

There were more red flags then would fit in a dump truck.

Any one of those would have put a mark on his record, but the authorities didn't do their job.

But, we need to ban AR-15s "Assault weapons", that will fix that problem, right?

“It’s not a safety issue, it’s a political issue,” LaPierre said while making the case for armed security in American schools.

“Our banks, our airports, our NBA games, our NFL games, our office buildings, our movie stars, our politicians, they’re all more protected than our children at school,” LaPierre said. “Does that make any sense to anybody?”

“Do we really love our money and our celebrities more than we love our children?” LaPierre added.

“Evil walks among us, and God help us if we don’t arm our schools and protect our kids,” LaPierre said.

LaPierre also reiterated the NRA’s efforts to protect schools by offering free professional help in keeping schools safe.

“Any American school that needs immediate professional consultation and help with organizing and to finding these solutions should call the National Rifle Association School Shield program,” LaPierre said.

“That’s more than anybody at the Democratic National Committee or NBC News or the Washington Post is offering,” he added.
