What is that, the 30th school shooting since Newtown?
Serious question (and I mean no malice): do you believe that the fact that these shootings are always overbroadcast on TV has anything to do with the number of people perpetrating these acts? As if they draw inspiration from such things?
So you support gun control but you don't support gun control? Gotcha.
I don't support a piece of it. Gun control can exist without that piece. I don't see anything that says it is required.
I thought this was a relatively simple concept.

Therefore anyone that would make a kneejerk statement like yours above everytime there is a shooting, is either ignorant of the facts or exploiting killing for their political purpose. You maybe young but my guess is you are not ignorant of the facts that gun control is a joke, and does not prevent people from killing other people with guns.
If laws prohibiting things don't work...what are the point of laws prohibiting murder, rape, or theft if it doesn't stop people from doing it?
Legally, you can't be a resident or citizen of another country and buy guns. US federal law states that you must be a US citizen or a resident alien with green card. Private party laws typically require that you be a resident of teh state in which the firearm is being bought privately.
So basically, Canadians are breaking the law already.
Laws typically prohibit and/or provide for a punishment for certain actions. Guns are a tool. The act of killing another person is malicious, and is an action. Banning the object that has no ability to perform an action on its own is ridiculous. You punish the actor.
How many do you need in order to be concerned? What's your limit? Or is there no limit? After all, freedom isn't free, right? School shootings are just another way to water the tree of liberty, aren't they? If only all those 13-year-olds had been carrying, they could have unloaded on that punk and blown him away, all while protecting all the other students and teachers within range, right?
See, I pay attention. I can spew the NRA talking points as well as any gun nut.
BTW, have we figured out yet how restricting the guns of law-abiding people, prevents attempted mass murders like this?
Meh. So what. You couldn't possible care less about gun victims. It's perfectly clear to the sane among us. Why don't you just admit it and stop *****-footing around pretending you do? Save the bandwidth.
So can we talk about gun control and yet? Has there been enough bodies to start the conversation yet?
Liberals: Never letting a perfectly good tragedy go to waste to advance their agenda of controlling the populace.
Stay classy liberals!
