seen this sticker on a car on the way home yesterday...this is the way some people think especially here in texas..
No, that's not the impression I am under. We are in the thread discussing the Vegas shooting. The Vegas shooting has sparked this gun debate. Yet everyone in here concedes that stricter gun laws wouldn't have prevented this thug from doing the shooting. Basically people are utilizing this tragedy to score political points about an issue that wouldn't have kept this from happening. That's the issue.

i literally just linked this.
Last year, we produced a series of stories on American gun deaths and the people behind the statistics. From that reporting, and other sources, we know mass shootings are different from other kinds of gun deaths in several ways.
First, they’re rare, and the people doing the shooting are different. The majority of gun deaths in America aren’t even homicides, let alone caused by mass shootings. Two-thirds of the more than 33,000 gun deaths that take place in the U.S. every year are suicides

there's nothing you can do outside of gun confiscation...try that in America.
Honest question. How many of those gun deaths were murder suicides?

2/3rds da numbers of gun deaths are people blowing their own brains out.
you would think NT's race traffickers would be delighted, its basically old white men that are majority cashing in their chips early.
The "guns are my fun hobby, don't take that away" argument is a funny one. I don't think most hobbys could be used to kill 60 people and injure 500 in 10 minutes, so not the greatest comparison there.
shootings will be as regular as category 5 hurricanes
Politicization of mass shootings is the issue...not the mass shootings themselves
Give me a ****ing break
Massmurdershootings is the issue. Not the method of the murder.
Any death that can be prevented is worth trying for. It's when we stop caring that we are doing a disservice.
The hobby wasn't used to kill people... that is silly. But driving/creating cars that can hit high speeds is a hobby that could be used to do just that. Martial Arts could also be used to inflict harm on others. It is also a hobby.
The issue is why people are killing. The killing wont be solved with legislation.
Ftfy.

How did this Guy carry hundreds of pounds of weaponry up to the 32nd floor by himself without being seen by a camera?
there is a huge distance between acknowledging the quality of life vs someone taking their own due to depressionehh i disagree...once folks cosigned "assisted suicide" with pills i stopped caring.
when people kill themselves its sad, but you can't stop em from hurting themselves by limiting da laws of people of abide by em.
Stricter guns laws could have prevented him from purchasing the bump stock that made it easier for him to kill so many
Stricter laws on what an assault weapon is and what guns should be legal to own would have prevented it.
That's all in hindsight isn't it?
