If you happen to venture in to the shady corners of the internet and see the narco terrorist videos from south of the border you will see what is in store for our cities. The most poverty stricken young gang banger in the barrio has a full auto handgun. They won’t care. What law would have stopped any of these people? Illegally in the country. Illegally obtains a firearm. Illegally kills people in a gunfree zone. Mexico has extremely strict gun laws. How’s it working formthem?

If it was good enough for Miss America 1962 to shoot it is good enough for us today!

I don’t believe for a minute that person is a gun lover.

By this count, 37 states allow civilian ownership of machine guns.

Why can't we enforce laws?
Keep criminals in jail?
Hospitals for the criminally insane?
Mental health professionals in schools?
When will the government tell the public what meds these killers are ingesting?
Where are the manifestos?
Why do we secure our airports with layers of security but not our children's schools?

We never debate/discuss the root causes and the culture.

Are mass stabbings preferable?

True, but more like unattainable than illegal.

Some have had them since 1968 and 1986 when the laws were changed.

If you had them, from that time, the cost was reasonable.

Then, there is the cost of ammo, which is expensive.

I didn't see mention in this thread about the following related thread.
The Allen Premium Outlets in Texas have a gun-free zone policy. So, we can stop blaming Texas gun laws for the mass shooting tragedy today. We can instead blame the murderer and ask the better question: If there were armed Texans (5.7.23)

Auto arms are not legal for the average citizen. I can use a rifle without a handle that is semi auto with Mag and do same damage. So, an AR does no more, except for a handle.

.
This is media brainwashing and people aren’t even aware of it. If you hear it X amount of times, you mindlessly parrot it.

Illegal guns will still be used to do these things.

St valentines day massacre used tommyguns but that is going way back.

Prior to the The National Firearms Act of 1934 (NFA) anyone could buy a Thompson submachine gun via the US Mail.

Those were the days...

They are already illegal unless you have a special permit. I’m betting this shooter did not.
