Yawn! The usual line of crap spewed by anti constitution types. Uh, german lopez there is no GUN PROBLEM. They behave as intended until some nut job decides to take one to a safe "GUN FREE ZONE" and perpetrate something like yesterday.

...nothing happens — no laws are passed by Congress, nothing significant is done to try to prevent the next horror.

Because passing a law won't do anything to prevent the next horror... in fact, if the law is egregious enough, it might insight the next one.

German, if you careful look at the existing laws on the books, we do not need
gun control, we need more law enforcement and more judicial gonads, to deal with the criminals...there problem solved.

Unrivaled gun violence? Only in a few select counties and they are not different than other violent areas of the world. And gun control only makes the population vulnerable to people with evil intent.

Dear Morons,

Criminals do not obey laws, and Freemen do not obey illegals laws.

Laws aren’t going to help you.

If you want our guns, you’re going to have to fight us for them.

That is all.

The number of privately owned firearms has doubled in the US over the last generation even as violent crime rates and murder rates were cut in half.

Most of the murders with guns are inner city minority drug gangs using illegally obtained pistols. Legal gun owners in the US have a murder rate equivalent to that of Japan - ie very low. Since gun laws would only affect law abiding people and as has already been demonstrated, criminals don’t respect laws - including gun control laws - more of the same is not going to reduce crime rates. Indeed all the evidence is that would just increase crime.

Because the problem is the CULTURE, not the weapon. If it isn’t guns, it will be arson, knives, acid, or trucks on the sidewalk. Just look at Europe.

There are so many root cause cultural problems the past 60 years you cannot name them all. But, I dare say, the all have the same root cause — liberalism.

I had a gun problem recently. It turned out that the extractor spring was worn out. It's fixed now.

"gun problem"

It's like a "math problem". That is, a problem solved with a gun.

When I'm assaulted by someone with a deadly weapon, this is a problem solved with tactics and tools.

None of the gun right defenders have asked any of the anti gun gurus whether they think the government will be able to prevent illegal guns form flooding across the border much like illegal drugs and illegal aliens already do.

The only thing I agree with in this post is that if you’re going to carry then keep training at least once a month if not more.

It should be noted, this shooter used a shotgun. I’ve heard it called a “rifle” in 3 news reports. He reloaded. It takes several seconds to a minute to reload a shotgun.

What laws shall we pass to prevent mass shootings with shotguns?

So why is it that for all the outrage and mourning with every mass shooting, nothing seems to change?

Ooh, ooh, that's an easy one to answer:

German Lopez, the author of this article, is not smart enough to understand the real world, and therefore his 'analysis' is garbage.

Rather, German Lopez has all of the intelligence and sophistication and experience that you would expect from a young child.

A 'slow' young child, that is.

The left always seems to want to get to the 'root' of any problem so that they can put a 'progressive' spin on the freedom-hating solution that they inevitably produce. But here the 'solution' is obvious: it's the fault of "toxic progressivity" among ill-prepared and ill-educated 'journalists'.

What can we do to fix the problem of not-so-bright commentators such as German Lopez trying to take on subjects for which they are clearly not suited?

If I were to pretend to knock about a hundred points off of my IQ (in order to 'think' like a 'progressive'), the obvious solution that I would come up with would be 'journalist control'.

Yeah, that's the ticket - 'journalist control'.

No need for those pesky constitutional amendments, just do it.

For the children.

The PROBLEM is that the author refuses to see the difference between aggressive and defensive gun use.
Yes, refuses.
I don't think he is incapable of seeing it, he deliberately ignores the obvious difference and conflates all gun use as the bad kind. Just to make his point.

“...unlike that of any other developed country ...”

should read:

“..unlike EVERY other country that does not, through its own founding documents of governance, protect the inalienable rights of its citizens...”

there, fixed it.

our culture and laws continue to drive the routine gun violence that marks American life.

Odd, how that didn’t happen until the rise of
Progressive-ism/socialism in the last 100 years.

For about the forty-leventh freakin' time: CRIMINALS DO NOT OBEY LAWS! So you'd only be disarming the law-abiding.

You flood in illegals by the tens of millions. You bring in 2 million moslems since 9/11m including the skinnies from Blackhawk Down. You give guns to the cartels. You let BLM run wild gunning down cops. You let antifa do any terror it pleases.
You get everyone under 35 infested with a genocidal hatred of white males...like me.
You have a third of the kids in school dazed on ritalin, anti-depressants, opioids and SSRIs. You teach them that tickling each others poophole is the highest civil right and a virtue. Cutting off Mr. Johnson makes you some kind of high priest in their wacked-out cult.
You openly speak of genocide and start pre-genocidal activities such as tearing down statues and monuments, classifying and labeling the target group. Spree shooting have become a national sport of marginalized and doped up young males. The Military is filled with deviants. The intelligence community just tried to overthrow the government and is the most invasive in human history, including the Stasi, NKVD, or Gestapo.

All this and you think I’m going to give up my guns?
