Holy ass! The butthurt is insane.
I'm referring to the fact that whenever one of these school shootings occur, you Trumptards will always call out "hurr durr actors, fake news, they're trying to take away our guns" because you see it's a reason for change (more strict gun laws to be specific). Just wait for the conservative trolls to start dislike-storming the newscast videos about this shooting on YouTube.
Boy, it's a good thing conservatives are weak otherwise we'd be in a lot of trouble
the shooter has been killed by the armed school resource officer
2 other students were shot, 1 in stable condition and the other in critical condition

I was only interested in trying to keep the conversation topical. You can go off on your rail to political hyperbole-town if you like.
Germany has more natives dying than being born, they need immigrants to replenish the population

Guns are cool but you're supposed to securely store them in a secure place, like a safe. Just gonna assume somebody forgot to lock a safe or put the thing out in the open...

Or modern-day Japan, which is *checks notes* a democratic constitutional monarchy

Eh, but also crime is still very low in Japan, I felt very safe when I lived there, so IDK.
Gun violence and gun deaths are attributed to ONE painfully obvious factor: the availability of guns. The whole “the mentally ILL and BAD people with guns, THEY are the problem! It’s not the GUNS themselves!!” non-argument is just that; more bullshit & bluster from the fearful & ignorant. Makes about as much sense as:
“Well, it certainly can’t be all of these throbbing erections that are doing all this raping, nope, it must be their sick, twisted MINDS that are committing these vicious physical acts!!” Yeahhhhh, gotcha.
Mentally ill and ‘bad’ people have (obviously) always existed, so why the sudden spike in school/public massacres within the last 20 years, and all being perpetrated using virtually the same type of (combat) weapons? Gee whiz, what a MYSTERY!
The “but ah NEED mah GUNZ fer pr’tection!! They r comin to TAKE mah GUNZ!!” losers & microphallus sufferers are costing us our KIDS, ffs....we gotta wake UP and join civilized society eventually, folks.....

You know what really pisses me off about all this. The fact that we have an issue in America and our law makers don't want to do shit about it. Everyone here and on the news will get really mad #whateverthehell and NOTHING will change.
I actual agree with both sides to a bit (stricter gun laws and mental health facilitates need to be a thing) but is any of that going to happen? FUCK NO

........... @the_randomizer, I want you to think about the possible correlation there...
Japan is a great place to live until the police want to talk to you.
I've lived there too, for two years. I love the place, but it's an apples to oranges comparison to ever pull Japan into a gun control conversation. Japan has gun control because Japanese culture is very comfortably inured to the State having almost unchecked free reign over the people, going back at least 1500 years. And while Japan may have gun control that doesn't mean it has a low murder rate. Over 100,000 people go 'missing' in Japan every year. They're not ALL walking off into the suicide forest. No body, no murder happened. The yakuza knows and uses that. Conveniently, a boat is always nearby.

But that doesn't completely eliminate all crime, does it not? People can still kill other people with other weapons, what then? People should have a right to self defense.
People with mental disorders are probably fine the way they are. Be it minor speech impairments to being a crazy man screaming about toast.
The problems come when people don't put dangerous things in places where they can't be accessed. You could have a room in your house that has an acid pit, and it would be perfectly safe as long as you kept that door locked.
But if you leave it unlocked, it becomes a hazard.
It's why we have those cabinet locks so kids don't open cabinets.

An author can't write without a pen, a shooter can't shoot without a gun.
Simple logic people seem to fail to understand, and it can't get simpler than that.
Restrict the pens, restrict the author. Restrict the guns, restrict the shooters.
It runs deeper than that, I'm not retarded, but it seems some people fail to understand the difference between outside effects and weapon effects.

Good to see not ALL hope for the future is lost. Cheers.
Let's not pretend that a gun is about the easiest readily available way to kill someone. As an example, there's New York, which has an incredibly high crime rate (about 145,000 thefts, crimes, and robberies per 100,000 people) but a comparitively non-existent murder rate (335 with same population density). New York also has comparitively stronger gun laws than a lot of other states
