doesn't even surprise me anymore, just numb to it you know
Yet Another Shooting
Correct sir. I value my right to bear arms. A true human right that comes with freedom. Never has a country had such a problem with their government than the USA. This is why we were given the right to bear arms. I feel safer because guns do make it safer. We have 101 guns per 100 inhabitants and we're not even in the top 10 of gun deaths. The most has 6 guns per 100 inhabitants.
I know you haven't looked much into the mind of these serial killers, but they actually do spend quite the time planning. They actually look for the best place to kill people... In other words... Gun free zones. From schools to movie theaters, the serial killers had changed their targets after figuring out there would be resistance at a different target. Police respond in minutes, where a well trained teacher could respond within seconds.
Sure, let's restrict 'Assault Rifles'... BOOM, oh shit a school was just shot up with a glock 18. You really think massive damage couldn't be caused with a pistol? Reloading is a slight of hand trick that takes a while to master, but a determined psycho will do it.
We can't stop crazy, it'll always be here... But we may be able to weed it out. We knew this kid was troubled. We knew he already told people. We have learned from previous shootings these warning signs... But failed to act.
We're in a new world where kids are over prescribed and are heavily isolated. We didn't have this problem in the in 1960s because people dealt with their problems. Kids weren't turned into zombies and every other teenage boy had a gun in high school. Hell, I hear family stories about how my father and uncle would have gun show offs with the teachers in the parking lot. But now, you can't even bring a military can opener to school... Something I was suspended for.
Please tell me on how you plan on stopping these people? Let's say the kid couldn't get ahold of that AR-15; he was still set on killing people at that school. It still would have happened.
Dude you really need to look up on gun free zones... Maybe making a whole country gun free? Let's take a look into our history:
At the end of the day I feel pretty safe with the declining gun homicide rate and feel like I could stand my ground if threatened. If someone tried to break in and rob me, it wouldn't be an easy task. This is why 13% of all home robberies in the US are done while the home owner is home... AND why 53% of home robberies in the UK(Gun Free) are done while the owner is home.
Criminals won't give 2 fucks about what new law you put in order... They're criminals. XD

If you are going to say stuff like Guns make America safer back it up with evidence. This is just your opinion, it may be true but may not.
Can you provide any evidence to prove guns make America safer, i.e comparing to countries where they are banned ?
All your arguments are circular, you just make statements and mostly do not back up anything with any evidence, statistics or rational.
By your own logic criminals do not follow laws, so why have any laws at all ? Why do anything to even try and stop them ?

Look at the correlation between the amount of guns being bought and the amount of crime related to guns. The amount of guns being bought is forever growing, while the crime with guns is declining. Here's a Harvard Study that discovered that nations that have more guns tend to have less crime. The nine European nations with the lowest rate of gun ownership rate have a combined murder rate that is three times greater than the nine European nation with the highest rate of gun ownership.
Overall, guns in the United States are used 80 times more often to prevent crime than they are to take lives.
The UK has approximately 125 percent more rape victims per 100,000 people each year than the United States does.
The UK has approximately 133 percent more assault victims per 100,000 people each year than the United States does.
Down in Australia, gun murders increased by about 19 percent and armed robberies increased by about 69 percent after a gun ban was instituted.
After the city of Kennesaw, Georgia passed a law requiring every home to have a gun, the crime rate dropped by more than 50 percent over the course of the next 23 years and there was an 89% decline in burglaries.

According to Gun Owners of America, the governments of the world slaughtered more than 170 million of their own people during the 20th century. The vast majority of those people had been disarmed by their own governments prior to being slaughtered.
Here's some more bullshit that won't fit your narrative:
Approximately 200,000 women in the United States use guns to protect themselves against sexual crime every single year.
With just one exception, every public mass shooting in the USA since at least 1950 has taken place where citizens are banned from carrying guns. Despite strict gun regulations, Europe has had three of the worst six school shootings.

Nobody is amused by the replies of mine, if you seem to think that then you're really lost and you should stop rubbing off me cos you get your ego boost.

Honestly, if you need a gun to feel safe it truly is somewhat pathetic, I would understand the situation if the gun was for when there is someone who is adepting to get inside your apartment/house and need the said gun to keep them away, and make them feel threatened so they wouldn't try it again.

The only way were going to prevent shit like this from happening in the future is to get rid of guns. Guns are meant to kill people quickly and efficiently. The culture is based around guns, because were the great American weapon complex. There is no reason that anyone needs a military grade rifle or automatic rifle other than to protect themselves from other people with guns.
