This was about mental illness, not guns.
Election year.
lots of Democrats will run from this
even with the media egging on these killers, mass shootings are extremely rare , less than 100 die in mass shootings per year in the USA( this is in a country of 300 million people where millions die each year).
The news media causes these shooters/psychos to seek fame .that’s why they do the “mass shootings”. the news media does it on purpose .their goal is to take away our gun rights so that we can’t defend ourselves against the government . even with the media egging on these killers, mass murders are extremely rare , less than 100 die in mass shootings per year in the USA. compare to 40,000 suicides, 40,000 deaths by car accidents per year in the USA. the media cherry picks 1 out a trillion quadrillion events and makes that news to control us
eliminate computeer games, they are 1000% more dangerous than guns!
Yeah, Chechnya is such a place of comity by comparison.
The father of one of the teenagers shot in this rampage made a very emotional appeal for Congress to act on gun control legislation and specifically mentioned their failure to act after the Newton Ct. shootings.
Oh great! Another run on guns and ammo is coming.
Every time they mention gun control, we all go out and buy more. Will the dems never learn?
Just note the source—another buffoon who knows nothing about anything except for his agenda, his Weltanschauung, and his paycheck. They are all wrong, but he appreciates his money. Silly, silly fools.
nope.
When the perp was knifing people to death, armed citizens could have easily suppressed the attacks.
The gun control freaks can go to Hell.
Maybe we ought to have background criminal checks on all senators and congressmen when they first run for office and also when they seek re-election. Of course we’d have a pretty empty house and senate chambers if we did that.
We’re going to destroy the Second Amendment and the Bill of Rights because some moron couldn’t get him any? That’s some dumb **** right there. I’ll never get used to this police state crap.
They should start by banning the weapons first used in this crime and those were not GUNS.
I’m sure there are enough stupid people out there in the nation that you could get a couple to hold signs, sure. I’m sure the earwax-eating members of Congress could get right behind that kind of winning agenda.
Aside from a few wannabee dictators in the media and government salivating at the thought of a disarmed public, gun control is about as popular with most people as urine-flavored lollipops.
Seriously, cars are three times as deadly as guns, if you’re genuinely concerned about public health deal with the goddamned traffic first, then go after medical malpractice and call me when you solve those issues. Speaking of which, if it wasn’t for knives and a BMW the jilted bacha bazi from Santa Barbara wouldn’t have managed to kill the majority of his victims, so given that it’s a possibility that by toting around a gun may he have actually reduced his lethality.
An ***hole in a BMW is faaaar more dangerous than your average gunowner. Ban BMWs, it’s for the children.
About the only further restriction that can be placed on gun sales is placing those who have diagnosed mental issues of a social-disconnect nature, specifically Aspergers, on a gun purchase no-fly list until they attain a certain age, for instance, 45. Yes it’s a violation of rights and therein lies a conflict, but there are other categories of people who are precluded from owning weapons so it’s not setting a precident.
We need to address the causal agent of the problem, not the fallout of the problem that, in this case, parents and therapists were well aware of but who’s choices were arbitrary and ultimately, wrong. Let’s put some channels in place enabling a judge to be sucked into crisis situations right away if there’s an out of control pre- or post-teen and let’s nip mental illness in the bud before the worst case scenario happens.
Hey, the Tyranny can control guns all it likes. I just won't be going along.
Why would it revive calls for gun control when most of the victims were stabbed to death or run over with an automobile? Shouldn’t we have demands for knife control or auto control since these were far more deadly than the guns?
Oh, yeah, right. We’re dealing with “Progressives”: emotionally driven, mostly fact-free, and certainly logic-free individuals. Folks who decry “climate change”, something that’s occurred unstoppably for almost a billion years on the planet. Folks decrying “global warming” when there’s been NO warming for nearly 20 years now, and with carbon levels HIGHER than the warmer Medieval Warming period. And let’s not forget “fracking”, a process that’s been in continuous use since 1943 and involves injection of WATER and SAND several thousand feet below the water table with food-grade “chemicals” like citric acid and cellulose, and which have not produced a single documented case of contaminating surface ground water.
Yes, to a “Progressive”, calling for more gun-control after several people were stabbed to death by a madman makes perfect sense.
It’s California we already have gun control here..only the gang bangers have the guns..meanwhile when is someone going to bring up knife control after all the whacko did kill three people with a knife..oh yeah almost forgot..those there men won’t be mentioned because they were killed with a weapon the media knows can never be banned..All day all I see on the local news is “shooting rampage” he killed three people with a knife!! He killed three people with a gun..yes that is true, but that occurs on a daily basis in Chicago and no one says a peep because they are killed by gang bangers and no one is going to demand they give up their guns
