Can we admit that we have a gun problem now?

We couldn’t do it after kids were executed in Sandy Hook, so we never will.

Yes, clearly the problem is we need more guns. If everyone had a gun they could all shoot each other and then since everyone is dead there are no more people to complain about gun problems.

TL;DR, we have a serious problem that nobody in power is going to address.

Maybe we should make killing people illegal too.

Okay genius, the magazines the shooter used in the latest shooting were illegally modified. How do you make something more illegal when it is already illegal?

Hes got you there, it was the illegal magazine so the gun is clearly out of the question now

We must die in their agenda it’s no coincidence that the victims of these mass shootings are primarily white. Shoot up enough whites and the white lemmings will begin to run to their masters to make all guns illegal.

Was it modified or simply a high capacity magazine that is illegal in California but can be legally obtained in many other states?

The only gun problem in America is the extent of the government's power over us.

You wouldn't recognize honesty if it committed a mass shooting.

Simple philosophy principle, if A is true, if B is true, and A + B = C, C is true

A) if someone does not possess a gun they cannot shoot someone

B) guns only kill lots of people if someone shoots them

C) people who posses guns and shoot people can kill people. People who do not posses guns cannot shoot guns and kill people.

We understand that A and B are true. C is a combination of A and B, therefore C is true. If people don't posses guns they cannot kill people. Obviously taking away guns from the country that has the most guns in the world would be a very challenging undertaking; though maybe one worth trying. We could also try to 1) stop selling guns, 2) stop selling ammunition and ingredients to make ammunition, or 3) require all registered guns be inventoried immediately with a governing body and regulate how many can be owned, possessed...etc.

Think to when people made bombs out of fertilizer, making bombs was illegal, but buying tons of fertilizer was not. What did America do? They didn't take bombs away from people, they heavily regulated the sale of fertilizers and other combustible organic products. Maybe it's time to do the same with guns and associated paraphernalia

It's a mental health problem, which miraculously ends right at the Canadian border. Funny innit?

+1

Standing on the graves of dead victims to promote a political agenda is disgusting.

Outliers, still outliers.

More regulation will not lead to fewer outliers.

We do not shoot, we are not the problem.

On the whole, society has gotten better.

There are many factors that contribute to Canadas lower homicide rate than gun laws or mental health. Actually, many of the US States along the Canadian border have murder rates comparable to the Canadian Average (the Dakotas, Vermont, New Hampshire, Maine, Idaho, Minnesota). When you dig deeper, you find that provinces with higher percentages of aboriginal inhabitants have murder rates higher than many US states (the Yukon, the NW territories, Nunavat, Saskatchewan and Manitoba). There are also fewer racial minorities, which is huge (2% Black as opposed to 12% Black in the US). Stop with the glorifying Canada nonsense. A little Bill Burr for your viewing pleasure:

I must have missed the news.

Another candidate for the NRA hall of fame?

If there had been an armed guard in the bar all of those deaths could have been prevented. We should have armed guards in all public places- schools, churches, restaurants, theaters, etc. In fact, all citizens over 18 should be required to carry a firearm at all times.

Idk if we should go that far, but Democrats demonizing law abiding gun owners while stripping them of their rights certainly only hurts.

There were multiple armed guards there. Didn't help.

No we don't. We just need to pray more.

As long as the NRA is a legal organization nothing will change. Sad but that's the truth.
