Not so. They want to limit assault rifles, stricter background checks and waiting times before purchase. That is not an outright ban.




None of which would have had the slightest effect on this shooting, which is why it is disappearing from the news so quickly. Not useful to the gun banners' political agenda.


He used a shotgun and a revolver, which he stole from his father..

So, you are saying his father is an idiot then? I thought the NSA was spying on everybody. They should have seen this coming. Could it be that they wanted it to happen so they could confiscate all guns? Nah! That would be a conspiracy theory.

The "gun banners political agenda" is to keep children from being murdered?

Do I have that right?

Oh, so he wasn't able to kill using the usual readily available semi-automatic weapon? Well that's all right then. Got any more idiotic comments?

There is no way I could surpass the stupidity inherent in your comment, so I'll pass.


Guns aren't born, they're made. They're tools.


And thanks for demonstrating that the gun banning anti-liberty dimwits aren't just after "assault weapons", but all guns. Not a lesson any Canadian gun owner needs, the Canadian state has, and is currently demonstrating their hatred of us, and of the most basic concepts of liberty.


What you do not seem to understand, or care about, is the fact that any attempt to seize arms from the American people would create a bloodbath that would make the school shootings of the last 30 years look like a tea party in comparison.

Yeah, the kid used a shotgun and revolver ... just normal household appliances down in Texas ... just like Dad's DeWalt cordless drill. What could be more normal?

Collateral damage ...

Why have there been 15 of these school shootings in Texas and Florida.

And none in New York or New Jersey?

You do realize that the 2nd amendment has nothing to with the slaughter of innocents right? Free Will has nothing to do with those who are willing to kill innocents for their pain because they feel they've been hard done by..


So the fact that some person decides that society isn't fair to them and figures that killing people is the answer completely mystifies me in their thinking. But hey, that's just me.



  • I was bullied in school and, at one point, beaten up but that didn't stop me from becoming who I am today. I know that those who were involved in beating me were simply jealous. It took me awhile to realize that's what happened and, considering I came from a family who was struggling to survive, I realized that they were simply angry for what they were missing from their lives. I had accepted that I was in control of my future and that they could be as angry as they wanted to be but I couldn't control their lives - only my own.
  • To this day, I do not know what the people who decided to give me a whopping have become. I know that I am happy and successful in life; I have a happy marriage of 42 years and while not rich we're doing okay.
  • . We have saved carefully, avoided large debt and, hopefully, in our senior years, will be comfortable.
My biggest fear is that those who come after us feel that whatever entitlements they may be entitled to has been squandered by the very leadership that were voted in to ensure that the safety net remained They will find that Substance does make a difference and that shallow selfies and self-adoration does not help the country and they pay the price.


JMHO

Ahh, but that's where they start. Pretty soon, someone gets killed with a golf club. Then 9 irons become the target.
