what will stop the mass shootings? at this point nothing will. we have gotten to the point where human life is cheap, often times people have ore respect for animals than they do humans.
we have taken god out of society, made abortion not only legal, but now are suggesting going with post birth abortions as well, actually infanticide. we toss away old people like they are yesterdays newspaper, and when we look down both sides of the isle, we see pure hatred from each side, and no one wants to work with the other side.
and it never fails that somehow people think that if we get rid of all the guns, that the mass killings will end. and that is far from the truth. remember timothy mcvay didnt need a gun to kill 168 people. and the 9/11 terrorists did not need a gun to kill 3000 people.
until we get rid of the hate in this world, and start to respect EVERYONE, the killing will never stop.
^^^ This ... we reap that which we sow; in sowing bad seeds this is the end result.
This site has become too bat S crazy for me. But, if I were to opine, eliminate the gun. All other developed countries have figured this out already.
Other developed countries do not have the human rights issues, this one has ... this might possibly be the last liberty u.s. citizens have and they are trying to hold on to it. It's a shame, they didn't try that hard to hang onto the other ones.
Bill Clinton ban semi auto rifles... when they were wooden stocks.
Mini-14's and Ranch Rifles, where basically currency, back then.
Coumbine happened during the semi-auto rifle ban.
Well then, let's just give up
Let's not even try
Perhaps we should give up on cures for fatal diseases too, by that thinking- I mean we're gonna die anyway...
The last gun ban did zero. So you keep passing more laws to make you feel good?
With gun laws, just like many other laws, people just do not feel the need to obey them.
I will give two short examples of people not obeying the written law.
In a park I take my dog too every day, two sections of the curb are painted red, with signs stating, "no parking anytime".
I have never seen one of the vehicles ticketed for parking in the red, and daily I see at least five or six vehicles parked there.
Second example.
Scattered through out this park are signs saying, "dogs must be on leash at all times.
I see tons of people letting their dogs off leash, completely disregarding the posted signs, and the law.
Enforcement is the problem, as well as the people who feel the laws do not apply to them.
I say hit them , not only in the wallet, but in the case of the people parking in the red, suspend their driver's license foe a period of one year.
As for the gun laws we already have, enforcing them would be a good start.
this might possibly be the last liberty u.s. citizens have and they are trying to hold on to it. It's a shame, they didn't try that hard to hang onto the other ones.
If you look at the issue of violence, and particularly murder, in totality, the solution is fairly straightforward. Identify those with violent tendencies, and when the commit lesser crimes, lock them up for a long time. In point of fact, we've now been doing this for a while (since 1994), and it's worked spectacularly. We need to tighten up the statistical analysis so that we don't have to lock up quite as many people to achieve the same, or even better results.
However, we've been going the other way. In the name of ending "mass incarceration" of minorities, we've been letting out people who should be kept in. And the results are visible. After years of decreasing more rate, they are now trending upward. See below.
The left better get it through their heads that guns aren't going anywhere. Period. We won't willingly give them up, and you certainly aren't taking them from us.
Once you guys get that through your skulls, then maybe we can make some progress on this issue...

I wouldn't doubt that the liberal party sets these mass shootings up to be honest. String some kid out on drugs "here take this gun and go to your school", then they invest heavily in gun manufacturer stocks prior to the shooting event, use it to push their anti-gun agenda, and rake in a bunch of cash.
