The ignorance of this agrument is ignoring the obvious - Why do people kill? Answer - they want to kill. That answer has nothing to do with HOW they kill. Until mental health is addressed, it can’t be stopped.

IMO - Many are asking why this is so common now. It is the break down of families, the anti-social nature of society due to social media, the encouraged disrespect of peers and authority, the moral decay of entertainment. Look at history - sex before marriage was frowned upon then babies before mariage and now it is ok to have sex, babies, and drug use and no marriage. God has been removed and morals and values (self esteem) went with it.

These morons jump out every time there’s a shooting blathering about gun law/gun bans then go about posturing about how they’re solving the issue.

Imagine a guy that loves to kill people by running them down with a corvette. So we ban corvettes.

They still make Mustangs. And Camry’s and smart cars.

These idiots are glamorizing AR-15s. Because of the name and the appearance the left has made it their gun control boogie man and they’ve propagandize day it so these killers get them. Most would barely know it from other guns if not for the media manipulation.

"Common sense gun law" advocates need to eventually realize that this sign lacks all manner of common sense.

All roads lead to a culture poisoned by violent hollywood imagery, and the lefts’ ultra-violent political rhetoric going back fifty years. They own the whole thing.

Idiots like to pretend that a .22 isn’t deadly.

So a (probably) prescription drug-addled, discipline problem kid went on a shooting spree in a Self-Defense Prohibited zone?

How is this the rifle’s fault?

If you want to save more lives, don’t ban guns. Ban the wheel instead.

Whenever someone proposes measures to stop violence such as the school shooting, I always consider how this new authority could be misused by people in charge.

Can you see how people in the Obama organization could misuse authority to detain people that in their opinion seemed suspicious?

Even when mental health is addressed, it can’t be stopped. We live in a broken world ever since “The woman you put here with me-she gave me some fruit from the tree and I ate it.” Adam and Eve’s kids commenced to start murdering each other. Adam even shifted blame away from himself like the gun grabbers shift blame to the gun from the shooter.

It might be curbed if it was well known that many teachers carry firearms and are trained to use them, and security guards at schools are armed, instead of posting “Shoot Fish In a Barrel Here” signs. Especially effective once a few of these nut cases are shot down quickly upon brandishing their weapons.

The terrorist in Paris killed more people with a cargo truck than the idiot in Florida with his AR-15.

Liberals tell us that the solution to violence and crime in America is a total gun ban.

Mexico has a total gun ban.

Violence and crime is off the charts.

Furthermore, the shooter was a known schiziophrenic who routinely posted pictures of the small animals he killed.

We don't need metal detectors.

We need mental detectors.

Furthermore, the shooter was a known to the FBI as having made threats to do exactly as he did.

Here’s how to end the argument:

1. Leftist gun-grabber: “I think that it is obvious that the easy availability of guns leads to these massacres, so lets just finally ban them to stop these senseless massacres.”

2. You, me or any other reasonably intelligent gun owner: “Guns are inanimate objects that do nothing without being picked up, loaded, aimed and fired by a human being. So if you want my guns, you’ll have to come and actually take them - mine, and those of 100 million other folks. Bring LOTS of body bags for your guys, and good luck with that. End of discussion.”
