The regulations need to make it more difficult for people like him to get guns. That—gun reform—would help. Doing nothing leads to more and more dead 5-year-olds.

Definitely something wrong with the US.
And you have seen it posted many times, if you take out the gang killings, we are near the bottom. So do something about the gangs.

Men? Rarely are they women. The only woman I can think of was the husband/wife pair in San Bernardino

Who do males do these mass shootings but not females, for the most part?

It is illegal for him to legally buy or possess one already if he has been DD. How do you make it more difficult? He should not pass a NICS check if he tries to buy one under existing law.

You take the same hard line stance that the NRA does on the other side.
I'm for sensible immigration control. Banning countries where terrorists don't even come from is not sensible immigration control, it's partisan nonsense.

Did you know Obama deported more illegal immigrants than any President in history? He just didn't do it like the Gestapo and break down people's doors in the middle of the night and rip disabled children out of their parents' arms like the Trump admin does.

Well if the reports are true that one of the members chased after the shooter with a gun, then apparently they allow guns in religious institutions.

No. This thread is about a sicko who murdered innocent people. Head bang yourself.
