If you take away all the guns, you're still going to have crazy people wanting to fuck shit up. And as I'm sure we all know, there are plenty of ways to fuck shit up without a gun. Why don't we go after the root of the problem and figure out why people are going on mass shootings? Get rid of the reason people want to go shoot people up and guess what....they won't do it! Give 100 normal people a gun and no one gets hurt. Give 100 crazy people a baseball bat and all of a sudden we'll have a "baseball bat problem".
    Can’t kill 17 kids in a high school with a bat though

    Looks like someone is watching too much Fox "news",

    Like Sean Hannity, and Kim Guifoyle are all over the Chicago crime scene, right?
    Just a racist distraction. The teenagers aren't falling for this "look over there" BS.

    Black lives matter? I'm starting to wonder.

    I guess they only matter when the black lives are taken by white cops.

    Left wing gun control advocates don't like to discuss inner city gun murders because 1) they are almost always committed by minorities and 2) the guns are often illegal.

    The truth is that your child has a very, very, very tiny chance of ever dying in a school shooting. It's one of those things which is very scary when it happens, because every parent feels a bit helpless when their kid is at school. But in reality, your child is far more likely to die in a car accident when you drive them to school every day.

    If there is any reason to change gun laws, it should be based upon a persistent threat to the population, not based upon a headline-grabbing situation which affects only a tiny, tiny percentage of the population.

    You really think we should be taking advice from teenagers about gun policy? There were things in place to stop this from happening and they failed. The FBI failed and officer that had a gun waited outside like a fucking pussy. I have heard of no laws that would have stopped this from happening. What could have stopped this from happening is if the FBI and that chicken shit officer did their jobs.

    He could have easily done the same thing with a semi auto hand gun. Should we ban those as well?

    I haven't been following this to close so nm if this has been posted but the conspiracy theorists are going crazy with this one.
    This video supersedes the previous one.
    Edit

    It's known that eye witnesses are notoriously unreliable and that's probably the case 98% but if you don't think Soros would throw a couple million towards a crisis company for his causes you haven't been paying attn. 2%

    I read somewhere the law they repealed or passed that allows propaganda to be used on the Americans occurred at 2am. Almost anything bipartisan is usually something for Israel or some defense crap. I imagine this law has to do with getting us into wars and/or maintaining the insane defense budget, but it doesn't help that gun nuts refuse to budge on anything.

    And the MSM has to know the more coverage they give to this shooting the more likely another will occur. They need to ask themselves what they can do to prevent these things, making the shooter famous def isn't one of them.

    we do need much more extreme background checks, where even a minor concern should disqualify the person from owning a gun, subject to that person’s right to challenge that determination in court

    even most nra members believe in stronger background checks.

    i hope the dems try and work with republicans on this specific issue and not hold everything up until they get a total gun ban in place, which won’t happen in the near future

    also for the time being i want non-cowardly police (like at least 10 of them) in every school

    I'm kinda surprised the hardcore 2nd amendment gun rights retards, aren't demanding the right to own cruise missiles, fighter jets and gunships.... and of course nuclear devices.

    You can't kill a person who's awake with a baseball bat instantly and without warning. Never mind 17 or 50 people.

    Also you're right I don't know which guns are worse than others and I don't care. Repealing the second amendment and banning them all would be just fine with me.

    Yes and as soon as there's a mass murder where all 50 people were held down by 2-3 accomplices while the batsman spends 20 minutes apiece killing one after the other, your comparison will mean something. Until then, you're just a retard.

    Quick google search seems to be humor.
    There seems to be a lot of anti Semitic and racist “humor” on this site which is annoying. Someone checks your browser history...

    you have a better shot of taking away guns than you do raising property taxes to pay for that...at the end of the day it all comes down to the almighty dollar...
