The mother of a man who survived the Las Vegas shooting but was killed in the Thousand Oaks shooting Wednesday night told local reporters that she wanted policy change over thoughts and prayers for her son's death. “My son was in Las Vegas with a lot of his friends and he came home. He didn’t come home last night, and I don’t want prayers. I don’t want thoughts,”

We need thug control, not gun control.

She lives in California, so she has gun control. I want freedom, risks and all.

Lady, you HAVE gun control. What you do not have is heart control.

Benjamin Franklin once said: “Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.”

We need thug control, not gun control.

I don't think we're going to see gun control but what we will eventually see will be the ability to flag an increasingly larger number of people from being able to legally possess guns. This will be only marginally effective, if at all, but it will make people feel better.

A lot of people aren't going to like it but Americans are getting tired of seeing innocent people murdered by lunatics they've never met with an axe to grind

Already have it, plus gun free zone and people left protected. How about arming citizens to protect themselves. 200 people, including police officers, and no one with a gun. Incredible.

FU lady.

You live in a state with some of the toughest gun las I the nation. Where this guy used a PISTOL to shoot everybody up that he still had after being investigated by your states mental health experts.

And what’s the first thing you do? Cry for your child? No - you immediately politicize the event.

FU lady.

This poor woman.

I can’t imagine losing a son.

She must be out of her mind with grief right now.

That would mean profiling of those who meet the characteristics of past mass shooters.

At the same time that we "flag an increasingly larger number of people from being able to legally possess guns," we'll also be able to "flag an increasingly smaller number of people from being able to legally vote."

We have gun control.

Lots of it.

More laws for criminals to ignore are not going to change anything.

Civics 101 lady. So you don’t want folks feeling bad about your defenseless child being killed by someone who, despite ANY laws you may pass could still have taken their lives? Take out the guys at the door, chain doors, gas cans to light it up and who,would we blame? Match company? Gas container company? Chain company? Lock company? Big oil?
