POTUS has no authority to take away people’s guns. If a POTUS did, Obama surely would have after the mass school shooting in Newton, Ct., no?
What exactly do you expect the US to do about mental health? Be specific, please.
First off, start addressing that it is an issue, not black semi auto rifles and pistol braces. Next, start addressing the inner city violence, which seems to be swept under the rug on a national level.
Those would be a good start, and actually get both sides communicating and working towards a solution.
Do we have any specific suggestions on how to lessen the incidence and the number of deaths from mass murders? I agree mental health is a giant issue - what are the policy changes or programs you would support to address this? Besides blaming democrats, any other concrete suggestions?
Joe Biden wants to address with gun restrictions on the type of weapon and the mental health of the gun buyer. Most don’t agree.
What would you do?
Do you think it isn’t a big deal and we should leave things as is?
murder is always a big deal.
but what law would have changed the outcome? Why do you always look for a government solution?
We will always have murder. We will always have drunk driving deaths. We will always have vehicular homicide.
There are a few hundred deaths of this type every year out of a county of 333 million. What exactly can the government do to proactively predict the future as to when a nutcase like this will freak out?
We can certainly agree on that. But, remember, when the dust settles, Democrats WILL be blaming this on Republicans. Just FYI.
No. Some individuals will be unable to control themselves and will try to politicize this tragedy. And sane people need to say "no" to that. The focus when tragedies occur always needs to be on getting through this, helping others, and hopefully preventing future tragedies.
This shooting in Indy is being covered differently than previous shootings, where this many have been killed. This terrible shooting is barely being covered by the major networks. Even CNN has barely covered it for any length of time.
Maybe that is the smart thing to do. It seems these come in bunches possibly being encouraged by media coverage.

Well, if by "some individuals," you mean MOST MAJOR ELECTED DEMOCRATS IN WASHINGTON DC, then I agree with you.
Too many to name. Biden promised to heal the country, looks like another broken promise.
Biden wanted to Blame Trump for everything, now Biden gets to enjoy all the blame. A politician with 5 decades of experience, and still can't do anything to keep American safe.
What exactly could/ should Biden do? Be specific, please.
There are more guns than people in the US. This ship sailed a long, long time ago.
What do Guatemala, Mexico and the US have in common?
These are the 3 countries that grant a constitutional right for people to bear arms.
Some people advocate for the elimination of background checks, licensing and permits.
8 fedex workers went to work last night to support their families and were randomly murdered by an irrational, angry person.
there are dozens of innocents murdered every day in this country, yet the mainstream press focuses on 'mass shootings'. I wonder why the press chooses to only publicize these kind of events?
Dozens?
According to CDC/ FBI there were 14,424 gun homicides in the US in 2019.
In 1993 there were 18,253 which dropped to 10,801 in 2000.
FBI identifies a mass shooting as an event with 3 or more victims.
The higher the body count, the more likely the mass shooting will receive some national attention especially when there is no known connection between the shooter and victims.
This shooting in Indy is being covered differently than previous shootings, where this many have been killed. This terrible shooting is barely being covered by the major networks. Even CNN has barely covered it for any length of time.
I saw the news alert on my phone in the middle of the night and assumed it would be wall to wall coverage first thing this morning.
It's not.
It's strange.
