Not mention that it was easier to get guns at that time as well! However ADC you can provide all the facts and they(liberals) will continue to ignore tham and say it is a gun issue. You can not reason with them.

Gun turn in laws passed in Australia in a very short time after one too many mass shootings.

I do not trust any politician with my gun rights.

In the end we need to Just Say No.....if it comes to that.

A few things that I believe will help.

Abolish government schools. Quit warehousing targets, I mean children, in free fire zones. Turn responsibility for the safety and education of the young back to where it belongs, the parents. If the parents wish to co-op or otherwise organize local level programs then so be it.

Reinstate the state asylum system to allow the mentally ill to be intercepted prior to their commission of criminal acts which is the current sytem. Can't protect those harmful to themselves or others until they actually do harm isn't working.

Failure to parent should be a felony. Parents should be required to parent or face the consequences.

Allow everyone to be armed at will anywhere anytime as 2A requires. Yes, there will some bumps and bruises but very shortly the truly stupid will be gone from the planet.

I did some minor research last night, the murder rate in 1970 was the same as it was in 2017, approx 17,000 murders nationwide, the population in 1970 was just under 180 million people and now we have 320+ million. Looking at the math I think we have improved a lot in the last 47 years, but then we have the change in demographics of the murderers, today kids do most of the murdering whether it is gangs or school shootings. The FBI has some interesting numbers if you look them up, they break down murders by every thinkable stat from race to sex to the type of weapon used. Even with the uptick in murders involving the AR15 rifle there is still on average about 300 rifle murders a year, around 400 done with shotguns, the vast majority of gun murders are committed with handguns and the bulk of them are gang/drug related. Some 3000 white people are murdered with the vast majority being killed by white people and about 400 whites murdered by blacks and the same goes for black people murdered, mostly by black people with about 200 murdered by white people. By state is the real clincher, Commiefornia leads the pack with nearly 2000 murders a year followed by Texas with around 1500 a year, most other states have rates under 500 a year, MN had 122 murders in 2017, last year saw nearly a 20% increase in murder rate from 2016 and the FBI says that Chitcago is responsible for nearly all of that 20% jump and cities like Detroit follow closely. Detroit interestingly enough was under Democrat rule for over 40 years straight and saw its beauty and wealth diminish under that leadership, of course now they are blaming the Republican governor.

People will always murder other people, that is just the way it is and it will never change, taking away all the guns or even some of the guns will not change human behavior, it will just make murdering quieter and easier. The single biggest change that could be made to deter murder is to punish those responsible quickly and harshly, capitol punishment needs to be reinstated and used in all 50 states period. The courts need to actually follow the laws instead of making up arbitrary arguments for suplantingthe laws and filling in that void with their own feelings.

Break the law and get punished, show others that the punishmentis harsh and ireversable and they will think twice before murdering other people, it will not stop all murders but it will stop a lot more than any gun control measure will.

Excited to take my AR out this weekend for some coyote hunting. First time since PA made the law. Can’t wait!

There is always going to be crazy people in the world who do this kind of foolishness. More guns in the schools is the only thing that is going to slow it down. Armed guards and some armed teachers and coaches would help immensely. A gun-free zone is the stupidest, most ridiculous and dangerous place in the country.

Its not that there wasn't any school shootings, there just wasn't an internet and cell phones to spread the news like wildfire. The mass media tries to make up believe that we have a problem with rampant murder, but we don't. In truth, less than 0.001% of Americans are murdered with a gun each year. That's per the published Center for Disease Control statistics.

When was the last time you lost sleep because there was a 0.001% chance of something happening? Simple fact is there is a long list of dangers far more likely to happen to a kid than getting shot.

The sky is not falling.

I disagree with this, not that I'm against capital punishment, but there are things we can do to deter murder that would be much more effective. One is provide mental healthcare. The other is reduce the class divide in a way that elevates more people from poverty. Financial hardship is a common stress factor leading to the mental breakdowns that end in violence.

FYI - AR's are already illegal for those of us stuck in Massachusetts. We're also the only state to make bump stocks and trigger cranks illegal. I just received my letter telling met to turn them in if I have them. I feel so much safer now.

I'd move if I could.

So what am i looking at here. This is a picture of the kids guns, and frankly, i don't know my guns that well. I know what i have, and i know how they shoot, that's it.
They keep calling it an AR15 "style" gun, can y'all tell what exactly it is?

Again the gun is blamed for the carnage. The anti - gun crowd has finally convinced me, I understand now, why OJ was acquitted. The knife was at fault.

The guns in the pic from top to bottom look like a 22,a shotgun,another shotgun,semi auto with a scary black stock handle and a big arse mag,a handgun,and on bottom a high power hunting rifle.Cant tell the one on the left.

But I will make one point . It was reported that the FBI was alerted about this guy. But they are too worried about finding something on TRUMP to try and stop such things as this . FBI ? come on guys do your job.......

Every reason to vote republican in November. If the dems get to control both the house and senate, there will be a slew of proposed gun laws and like usual all bad for gun owners that will do nothing to deter these mass shootings or crime.

Why so? Is there another national organization that is protecting our gun rights that I am not aware of?

Another point that I believe needs clearing up is that fact that an AR 15 IS NOT a “military” “assault style rifle”. AR does not stand for “assault rifle”. It is an abbreviation for Armalite, the company that created the AR 15. What we as civilians buy at our local gun shop are not military style AR’s just because they look the same. They aren’t full auto and they aren’t 3 round burst. People need to get off the whole AR’s are causing the high number of casualties. They are more commonly involved in these shootings because they are the most popularizes. Do you think somebody couldn’t do the same damage with a Mini 14? You never hear about anyone using one of those. It’s because they aren’t as popular in the mainstream media. They don’t look as mean, and they are more difficult demonize because of that. My .02.

WELLL actually they ARE military STYLE . Just not ALL the functions as the military version. Plus Joe public has made them popular not necessarily the media. Popularity comes from the number sold and / or manufactured. Don't see as many of the mini 14 sold in gun shops. Just saying.....

How can you say they are military style, just not with all the functions, lol. How are the the same when they don’t have the same capability? Popularity comes from something which causes people to want them. Gun shops didn’t carry them until they became poplulr. Just sayin....
