Thing is, the 2nd amendment is clear.
Like alcohol prohibition, they had to get an amendment ratified because it was not authorized for the federal government to touch the issue. Same for pot and all drugs for that matter. It is a 10th amendment issue. The government is not authorized to have any say. The 2nd amendment says no one has a right to say but the individual.

But keep trying to use the guilt trip.
Wasn’t the shooter a legal gun owner?

My hunch is that this latest/unfortunate Massacre will be a turning point in the United States of America's gun culture.

Unlike 20th century pro-gun advocates, these "youngins" are not in denial (and unafraid) of the fact that The United States of America is comprised of people from diverse racial/cultural backgrounds, and therefore see no reason to arm themselves against a non-existent opposing force. Unlike us Old folks, they're not afraid of differences. If anything, they embrace and celebrate "Difference."

Life and time moves forward, not backwards.

GO KIDS!

You think people are afraid of differences? LOL

How ridiculous.

I'm white. Most of the criminals in my community are white.

Has nothing to do with being afraid of differences.

Good, then we'll be felons according to a ****hole government. Big deal.

Why not just ban semi-automatic firearms? What is so wrong with that?

An Ar15 is not a weapon of war


my Henry lever action rifle (45-70) will do more damage than the punnie AR15 and its tiny 22cal round

Default What Liberals Don’t Understand: A Serious Attempt at Gun Confiscation Could Lead to Civil War

This seems a little overly dramatic but it's a fun read...

From PJ Media -

"Liberals love to fantasize about confiscating every gun in America. It may be their most beautiful dream. Liberals get control of the Supreme Court and ignore the Second Amendment; Washington makes gun ownership illegal; almost all the guns come pouring in or are destroyed; a few hapless Jim Bobs who won’t get in line get shot up by the cops and then the government is free to do anything it wants and if people don’t like it, well, what are they going to do about it without guns?"

Every generation complains about the next. Yet each generation accomplishments greatness though....telephones, electricity, going to the moon. Millennials invented social media. And yes, it has changed the world.

You need to address the individual doing this, it's the only way to stop it. You want to do something that may actually do some good? Stop publishing their names and their life history.
Yeah, I’ve been posting that for days. I think that should be priority number one, but of course the media refuses to do that. Some write about it or the talking heads say it, but they never actually do it. They can talk about the shooting without mentioning the person’s name and motivation in every segment. Once, and then never again.

I remember how after Columbine, they talked about the shooters and then shifted to all the bullying, as if these kids were pushed beyond their limit. And turned them into some kind of anti-heroes for the crazies. And they’re constantly talking about how each one is the worst, and then the next one wants to beat a “record”.

It’s like they took a book of all the worst things to say, and doubled down on that.
