bingo. Gun laws only affect those who intend to follow the law.Ahh yes lets make more gun laws, the shooter broke most of what is currently in the book and any that some might dream up in the future "but we just gotta have more useless laws"...
Maybe do something about the culture but that does not mean gun control.
The second amendment makes that not the answer on two fronts legally nor reasonable for a few reasons.Well, the ideal situation for the US (AFAIC) would be to ban private gun ownership.
Not that that would be perfect, but it would go a long way to helping solve the current problem.
However, from discussing guns with folks from the US, I realise that this is unlikely to happen, and I'll just settle for feeling safe living in a country where gun ownership and gun culture isn't widespread.
Yes, as written, as seen by observation...thank you. Children LEARN behaviors ( for the most part. )
If people would follow those regulations.I don't believe private gun ownership needs be banned. But a few sensible safety regulations and oversights could slash their mortality figures.
You mean have the hotel punish this fine American by telling him to leave his suitcase of rifles and ammo at home?That would have helped in the Las Vegas shooting, would it?
but that is not reasonable to expect when well over 300 million guns are around. Most of which have never been used to commit a crime.No guns would still prevent mass shootings.
As in "If My people get on their knees, and pray, and turn from their wicked ways ...."Maybe do something about the culture but that does not mean gun control.
that depends on where you live. It is AWFULLY hard to get around the west without some type of transportation other than walking and animals.You can go places without a car too. What's your point?
Actually, there are laws forbidding several groups of people from having LEGAL access to guns (including the mentally ill, by the way. ( assuming of course that it is known and documented).Simple, if you want to prevent another mass shooting stop giving everyone and their grandmother a gun. I have a mental health diagnosis and I can go out and buy a gun in this country, it's ridiculous. Canada has on average three mass shootings a year mostly in the bigger cities. Ottawa had a mass shooting three years ago where Parliament Hill got shot up. Here in the US however there are mass shootings every single day. Why? Because, we let ANYONE go out and buy a gun regardless if they're criminals, mentally ill, or just plain wacko let's give them a gun. There's no gun control in this country at all and then we're shocked when a school gets shot up or a local Walmart gets shot up and then we wonder why. If they didn't let anyone own a gun there would be a lot less shootings. But, we can't do that It's too logical and people would complain because they have to have their precious guns. After all It's one of the amendments to the constitution.
thank you a gun sitting on a table will do NOTHING by itself except maybe a VERY rare accidental discharge.So what you're saying is it's the inanimate object that is dangerous not the person who wields/operates it???

Only if enforceable. There should never be gun free zones where you don't have control of the borders. Let me use some examples:That would have helped in the Las Vegas shooting, would it?
Actually for most in this country it is a RIGHT.
because the second amendment just because someone has it does not mean they mean harm. I know people have SEVERAL guns who have never shot and killed anyone in their lives and at least one of them is pushing three score ( 60 years old.)What I don't understand is in some states (like Texas) we're allowed to own automatic weapons. What the heck do we need to own an automatic weapon for unless it's shooting up a school or something? Shouldn't a 9MM be good enough for most people instead of having to own a gun that's made and designed for warfare?
OR, most common of all, drugs. (legal ones) (prescribed ones)Using things such as lethal gas or even cars, trunks ECT.
If people would follow those regulations.

another "option" if someone REALLY wanted to kill many people would be lethal gas in a very public place.Who says I'm advocating for guns? Just showing the gun control crowd how silly their argument is cause if someone wants to hurt/kill someone else they will find a way, no matter what laws are in place or are enacted in the near future. Seems to me the guy driving the truck was more efficient, death toll over 80 and accomplished in less time and he spent way less money...
Amazing coincidence? Or plannedbingo. Gun laws only affect those who intend to follow the law.
