We hear over and over that gun violence is the leading cause of death among children. (well its not) But they are counting 18 and 19 year olds in that statistic. Those aren’t children, they are adults. That statistic also includes suicides which skews it even more. Of the “shootings” that remain many of them are in the inner cities and a result of gang violence and/or drug activity. We don’t have a gun problem in this country, what we have is cities poorly run (those cities have something in common, they are all run by democrats) and officials not addressing the issues like gang violence, drugs and the mental health crisis. They are too focused on gun CONTROL to actually solve the issues that are the real problem. Their solution is to disarm the law abiding citizens thinking that’s going to stop gun violence. It’s the most ridiculous approach ever, because anybody with a microcosm of intelligence would know there isn’t a law ANYWHERE that will stop a criminal from committing a crime. All it does is take away our ability to defend ourselves and family from one of those criminals.

“Good guy with a gun” is a myth for a reason. Plenty of studies have demonstrated that adding people with guns to an active shooting makes the event MORE dangerous, not less.

The US has more shooting AND stabbings per capital than the UK. Maybe we should looked to them for how to prevent shooting deaths AND how to prevent stabbing deaths.

“It’s not the fun, it’s the shooter that’s the problem” – agreed. So let’s pass legislation that keeps firearms out of the hands of crazy people that commit mass shootings.

It’s not the firearm. It’s our must-have gun crazed society and lack of legislation that makes gun access so easy for the heartless to obtain and retain. Rights are one thing, but responsibility and accountability is another.

I bet there is a big tree close to this where those responsible could “hang out” as a reminder for others.

Take a look back at the story. Anyone with bad intentions could have injured far more than 18 people with a knife when the crowd is estimated to have been 1,000 people. No noise from the gunshot, the ability to hit and move quickly in such a mess could have been devastating.
A bad actor with a plan will attempt to do as he pleases until a good guy puts him down.

Leaving law abiding gun owners defenseless because they “might” get enraged and use a gun is a pretty poor plan. Unless you possess a crystal ball, you think it’s OK to render 99% of gun owners that carry a gun in their vehicles defenseless “in case” 1″ of them “MIGHT” commit a crime.

Clearly you haven’t put much thought into what you posted.
