Seems the shooter was a trans gender female. This is going to get interesting 

Oh damn. I was thinking a jilted lover or a molested individual. Could be , but yes there’s much more to be discovered here.

Demented Biden cracking jokes and politicizing the whole thing.  We need a real leader.  Not some *****-for-brains.   What a mess.  

Because it 'political.  Other countries have found reasonable compromises that allow guns for hunting and recreation but not designed specifically for killing people

A gun that can be used for hunting can kill people. We don’t even know that this shooter couldn’t have carried out todays bloodbath with just a handgun or two.

Fine, don’t take the guns away. Bare minimum should be red flag laws where the SECOND someone reports you for obvious mental issues, all your guns go bye-bye for good. 


Please explain how the public education system created this?

 

Huh? Your ex-wife reports you because she hates you so she says you have some type of "mental issue"... your 2A rights should disappear forever? LOL

 

I'm a mental health counselor and I can tell you, you CAN lose your gun rights if you have 'certain' mental diagnosis or have been inpatient for certain reasons. You should NOT lose  your gun rights for being just having a mental disorder. There are certain criteria involved and each state is different.

Of course they can but they're not nearly as effective at killing large numbers of people which assault rifles do all too well.

In your state, what dx's qualify for a person losing his/her gun rights?

I believe  “ assault rifle” is an invented term that sounds menacing but has little basis in fact. I’m no gun expert but I’m sure there are others who can chime in.

AR=assault rifle.

 

but sure, dive deep into semi vs automatic AR like the gun lobby propaganda does.

Again , consult a gun expert. There is nothing distinguishing about the weapon from many others , that is my point. It’s a broad term without specificity and that is usually the hang up in any potential legislation. It’s far too broad.

They can easily be defined in legislation.

You can have them back after you are proven to be sane. No nonsense.

Oh sorry, three small children were killed by an ARMALITE rifle, my bad, makes a huge difference 🙄

No , they were killed by a crazed woman ( we think anyway) intent on killing someone that was able to access a building that (s)he shouldn’t have been. The weapon used changes nothing.

Glad the women got killed.  
should be a death sentence for anyone that uses a weapon to kill people. 
some killers get out of prison in 15 years. 
the person they killed never gets to come out of the grave. 
you shoot some one or stab someone then 25 years in prison. If they survive 
No Electric devices no exercise area no getting out of the cell. 
 

no bail

Easy to compromise/recruit.  
 

Mental health professionals create a patient for 60 plus years with every moron parent of a 6 year old that brings them in to discuss a possible “transition” or whatever this person is. 
 

Genius, trash professionals also compromised by CCP Woke trash.   

 


 

Well if not recruited, the girls are losing their minds now.  
 

What a country.  
 

Ban the guns tho.

Think she would have had an easier time using a knife, slingshot, etc?

Well, being trans was removed from being listed as a mental illness a few years back. Having a mental illness would have been a disqualification for buying the rifles.

If the problem isn’t the guns, why do we have such a higher rate of gun deaths than our peer nations?

 

If you start controlling for variables, the answer is obvious: it’s the guns. 


No no, it’s *insert 8000 other excuses here*

Doesn’t equal causation. The variables are cultural. Also explains the reason for the breakdowns of who is involved / responsible for “ most” shootings. The presence of a gun does nothing on its own. The constitutional right shall not be infringed. People much smarter than you - and me - decided this.

Conservative explanations for US gun violence:

- Mental illness (but don’t you dare spend $1 to help people with mental illness)

-Doors

-The gays

- Not enough guns

-The progressive prosecutor movement that began well after the gun violence epidemic began (time traveling progressive prosecutors?)

- Not enough guns

- Barack Obama

- Americans are inferior people who like killing 

- Single parent families

- decline of religion

- Abortions

- Cities

- Not enough guns

- Joe Biden

- Literally anything that can be linked to a Democrat, no matter how dumb

-People being mean about cops 

- Teachers not having guns


What the rest of the world, researchers, scientists, and literally everyone else who understands basic root cause analysis clearly sees as the obvious reason:

- Easy access to guns

No. However , banning all guns is simply not going to happen - nor should it. 


Well something has to give, mate. Dead 9 year olds are starting to leave a bad taste in everyone’s mouth.

So killers just become great people then , if not for the 2nd Amendment ? Sounds like a LOT of excuses for awful people.

Nothing has to give if a pile of children’s corpses doesn’t bother you.

There is absolute zero point in discussion potential solutions to the gun violence problem with people who cannot understand basic facts about why we have one. 
 

Some people just find it easier to let kids die than to accept reality.

Secure the buildings ( seems it wasn’t or there was a breach) Armed Officer at the door etc. I’ll agree there’s nothing palatable about this. One thing that shouldn’t give is individual rights. Makes for a complex issue.

The individual right to own a gun has been a long recognized Constitutional right dating back to… 2008.
