Where's your proof that restricting guns is going to keep you safer? Many of these countries that outlawed guns still have people being wounded and killed by either knife attacks or vehicles plowing through crowds. Even here on American soil, Timothy McVeigh, 9/11 and the Boston bombing proves you don't need to fire a single shot to cause mass deaths and destruction.

Maybe it's time to stop blaming an object and actually blaming the person who is doing the killing.

We will continue to chase our tails pointing at blame blindly with no true preventative measures.

What's the cause of these continued mass shootings? Guns? Society? Mental illness? Media? Different groups focus on different reasons, and then those reasons get debated, and all the while no progress is made.

They got it covered with their fake thoughts and prayers lines. Thoughts and prayers for the dead makes it all better. It helps them sleep at night.

I take it there's no bears where you live?

No snakes either?

So you're an urban dweller then?
And you live in a city with no criminals at all?

Where is this Utopia of personal safety?

It should be an individual's choice whether or not they need to "pack heat" when they go out of the house.

It's sad that after every mass shooting, the white guilt liberals show off their self-hatred. "Aha! It was an evil white person. I knew it!"

The chances of being a victim in a mass shooting are basically zero but that won't stop white liberals from demonizing their own race.

after the virginia tech. shooting, many argued it wouldve been prevented if students were allowed to carry guns. cnn showed a paint-ball demonstration from a police instructor where they had a classroom of persons where one was a shooter. even knowing that something was gonna' pop off, there were still many friendly-fires.

But a white guy? The blame is his, and his alone.
