As long as people are needlessly murdered every single day in the nation with the highest violent crime rate in the developed world, people with the means to do so will probably continue to try solving that problem.

Shame.

50 million eh? Well its a good thing he didn't donate that money to some worthless cause, like education or help for the poor and needy. Better to go after those racist rich evil white racist evil racist white gun owners who do all that killing in this country.

If he only spent his money on the right way to go about solving the problem, or he spent his money tackling problems that kill many more people than murderers. Gun homicides are on the decline and have been for quite a while.

Do you really think that Oregon is the place to focus on? I don't recall that there is a huge problem with gun violence in Oregon. Perhaps he should have stuck to the East, or at least the upper Midwest like Chicago and Detroit.

So you are saying that if you ban guns, murders won't ever happen again? Do guns talk to people? Do guns go out by themselves to hurt people? Needless violence, the world must be happy that we are the only country with needless violence, I have never heard of violence in other countries...

As for "people with the means" and "solving that problem"... its more like personal belief and forcing people to live within their personal beliefs.... so lets stop with the BS, alright...
