I'm more then 40 mins north of parkland. I was at work in a college when it happened. I'm wondering if they pick places like schools because of hatred or because its a gun free zone. We are going to here the liberal left use this event as a reason to take your guns. Its really sad that they use events like this for political gain. These events make me want to play GOD and use time travel to prevent this. I guess it would be like the minority report

As an American I don't currently own any guns nor do I love them but I do think you should have a better gun than the enemy.

How does one know what "the enemy" (good lord, America isn't a war zone) has, though? The streets are NOT the place for an miniaturized arms race

Cute, you think only Americans can "love guns"...

I understand what you're saying, but have you, for instance, had a family member (or pet, or friend...) die, and had a bunch of people you barely (or maybe don't even!) know come up to you expressly to say "I'm sorry for your loss"? That's what stuff like this feels like to me, but on a much amplified scale. I feel the need for somber reflection and understanding, but I don't want to publicly say things that are not my place to say

The difference is that the shooting has been a publicized event, the airing of grievances does show clear as day that you care about those who were affected. You can be "somber and understanding" about it, but I'd like to at least give one little blurb showing how it affects me, and that doesn't include debating about gun control. A loved one passing is something that can't really be publicized, and sharing that with everyone is not really necessary. So if strangers don't offer condolences, fine, they don't know the situation, how could they? To me it's apples and oranges.

 

[DeslotlCL]

My condolences to the families and people that were injured or had to lose their life because of some stupid morron.

Seriously, how even can people kill each other? What the hell is going on on their heads before killing someone? How? I cant even kill a friggin fly because im coward fag but yet there are guys who can mass shoot at people just like they were eating pie.The fuck is wrong with people these days. The fuck is wrong with the usa that they do nothing to stop that, at all.

You're right, it's not. That's why the sensible people who openly carry don't point their guns willy-fucking-nilly. The street thugs who will slit your throat given the chance are the ones you need to worry about. The ones with unchecked, unlicensed weapons. Good luck trying to take that away.

If we're being real, we're one of the only (THE only??) countries in the """"developed"""" world that has the problem of such a high number of firearms in our country.]

Like, it's unreal

You don't think that's an entitlement problem? My MAIN point is the people are the issue. You take away one weapon, there will be another. Until eventually you're left eating food like Neanderthals.

I know very well what it is and the whole argument is bullshit. I can sell or gift a gun I own to another resident of my own State, as a private transaction. It's not interstate commerce, or at least so far they haven't ruled that it is, so it's a legal transaction. If the buyer is actually prohibited from possessing firearms and keeps that a secret from the seller, he has committed a crime. If the seller has reason to believe the buyer is prohibited and sells the gun anyway, they've both committed crimes. But the news media makes it out that because of this 'loophole,' you can buy guns over the internet, like mail order. That's false. If you buy a gun from an internet seller, it will be shipped to an FFL dealer where there will be a background check. And most sellers inside the gun shows this 'loophole' is named for are also FFL's, and they conduct background checks.

I'm not opposed to universal background checks but the whole idea that we need that is just evidence that it's people who have changed and are the cause of the mass shooting issue, not guns. My grandfather bought a shotgun from the Sears & Roebuck catalog when he was 14 and they mailed it to his house. No background checks then, and nobody shooting up a school every few months either.

If I'M being real? I also believe that America and its people are slowly deteriorating and soon nothing will be left but money grubbing, power hungry sociopaths.

A former student who was apparently expelled for issues inside the school. Mate, the issue isn't gun laws. The issue isn't the gun. It's the person. It's the people. He CLEARLY was a troubled person. He apparently has a background of some mental issues. Instead of getting him the help he needed, he was pushed away. I'm going to say this now, if any of you think guns are ANY part of the problem here, you're an idiot.

That does nothing to argue against what I said. Try again.

Hmm, well I guess you got me there. But, there seems to be a high correlation between states/countries owning guns and the amount of homocides.
