The OP, and other posters, utter lack of diversity and ability to think of anyone living a different life than their own is the real problem.

Rich people, living in very safe areas with police 2 minutes away, not grasping how people live in the rest of the country. Such ignorance and again, utter lack of appreciation for diversity in all it's forms.

But hey, they need a scapegoat for 75% of the murder rate that happens in urban areas and disproportionately to minorities because of economics. Low paying jobs, lack of opportunity. Their solution? Allow millions of illegal workers to help keep such jobs low paying while blaming the problem all on everybody else.
Go back and read the OP post again. Note I did not ask who needs to die before you would fight for gun bans. Rather I wrote, "GUN CONTROL."

Most of the mass shooters stock piled.

So, people can have guns that are not for killing? You do understand what you just said kill's your entire argument.....will you accept that?

Can you give us any links to anyone in the last 50 years that has used a FULLY automatic weapon or carried a fully auto weapon?



We shall all wait.......

I'll agree with gun confiscation under 2 conditions...

1) prove that the new gun law/ban would have prevented all of the mass shootings in last 15 yrs.

2) That all criminal's guns have been confiscated and there is no way for them to obtain another.

Until then, i'm keeping my guns.

I wouldn't advocate for an ill-conceived abrogation of fundamental rights regardless. The OP's attempt to evoke an emotional response to the prospect of personal tragedy so-as to garner support for bad legislation is something I find decidedly more frightening than the statistical rarity of a lunatic wielding a semi-automatic firearm.
