A "mass shooting" is given the label when 4 or more are shot.

4, what a joke!

Why is that a joke?

Apple and oranges.

How many of these countries have ANYTHING like our 2nd amendment?

not suggesting a full ban, but there are too many guns in this country.

" but there are too many guns in this country"

Is your main concern about deaths?

If so, why not limit the number of cars you can have since cars kill MORE then guns.

Or how about bats and other blunt objects because MORE are killed by them then rifles?

The NUMBER has NOTHING to do with the Problem.

The VAST MAJORITY of gun deaths by homicide happens in 5 CITIES and you want to "punish" the rest of the country.

Thinking like this is WHY we CAN'T have reasonable discussions when 1 side does NOT KNOW the facts and argues "out their arses"!

The vast majority of gun deaths do not occur in five cities. That is a flat out lie.

The time is before people go back into their cellphone worlds and forget about this big ugly American issue.

"and forget about this big ugly American issue."

When people like YOU start to talk about the REAL issue we will engage.

5 CITIES are the reason for the high number of homicides in the U.S.

When do you want to start a REAL discussion?

You keep saying this but provide no proof.

Our national hypocrisy is costing people their lives and creating senseless suffering.

Enough is enough.

Please.

"Enough is enough."

You are RIGHT.

"Enough is enough" of this constant posting calling for MORE gun laws and FEWER guns, " do nothing to try and prevent the proliferation of weapons of war by civilians,", by people who wouldn't know a derringer form a 60 cal. and think they are gun "experts!

The "know it all's do NOT know how many shootings there are in "gun free zones" and how utterly ridiculous the laws for these "zones" are!

FBI UCR Total Murders in US 17250, In the 5 cities 2187. 12.6% of the US total.

And enough to make minor changes in US position versus other nations but nothing significant.

Very true. Gun-Free Zones are specifically chosen for attack because the killer knows nearly everyone (except possibly security personnel) in that "zone" is unarmed.

Who did the LV killer shoot at? The unarmed audience at an outdoor music festival.

What other Gun-Free Zones have been targeted for massacres? K-12 schools and colleges.
