here's my plan: the really smart people like Trump and Tomi Lahren can lock themselves in a room until they come with a cure for mental illness.  in the meantime, the rest of us dummies can get some common sense gun laws passed.  what do you say?

What common sense gun law?  Please...
I'm sick and tired of hearing "do something!! guns guns guns."
Republicans and NRA all have blood on their hands.  BS!
Gun laws got nothing to do with this. 
Every time there's a shooting it's an opportunity for liberals to go drum beating and try to advance their politics.
More gun laws wouldn't have stopped this deranged dangerous kid.  Pass all the gun laws you want, this kid was still determined to kill.
A more proactive FBI,  local police force, & School District should have stopped this kid.
Unfortunately there are some very very troubled individuals living amongst us.  Look at a picture of this guy in Florida, who did the shooting, look at his eyes.  There's just nothing there.  Sorry, more gun laws won't do a thing about people like this.
The mechanisms are actually all already in place to stop a guy like this.  If tip-offs would actually be taken seriously.
The Local Police, FBI, and even the School itself all knew about this guy.
The FBI was notified about this guy 6 weeks ago, the FBI should have communicated with the local police, the police were notified about this guy, but they did not get in contact with the FBI.  Last fall somebody piped up about the social media threatening videos this guy posted indicating his intentions.
The school knew about this guy , yet did nothing to communicate with the local police or take measures to make sure the school grounds were secured.
So the FBI, the police, and the school all were were warned & informed about the guy, yet none of these entities did a thing about it.
Bureaucracies need to be overhauled & Political Correctness needs to be outlawed!!

Nothing has changed because neither Republicans or Democrats can come up with a reasonable plan to help fix the problem. Let’s not forget that nothing changed in the 8 years before the Don. It’s more complicated than we think. (I have no plan).

Guns don't kill people . The FBI kills people. 

Got any memes blaming rap music or video games?

It gets exhausting explaining this every time, but Obama only had control of all branches for 2 years and they spent that time on the ACA. By the time Sandy Hook happened, he was handcuffed on a response. There has been plenty of proposals the last 8 years, but they're all dead in the water while the gun lobby buys votes.

Yes, something should have happened a long time ago after Columbine, but it seems no one quite understood where we were heading yet. It's never too late to be the change you want to see, but this admin is too busy rolling back regs, lowering taxes for the rich and deporting immigrants who have been here for 20 years.

Took all of 3 seconds for Trump to reverse the checks on Mentally Ill buying guns though.

It takes a high school student to speak the truth.

The only thing Congress is capable of doing is writing one bill every two years?  Don’t fool yourself, Democrats want to save their jobs as much as Republicans. That s why they didn’t do shit with gun control when they had the chance and that s why republican won’t do it now.

Then it must be true

In current political climate I don’t think any useful conversation will be had on how to affectivly resolve the issue. It’s one thing to demand more gun laws, it’s another to actually come up with the laws. A seizure of all weapons won’t happen. And if we stop all gun sales, there’s still 300 million guns. Maybe the buy back? Like Australia? 2/3 of Australia still has their guns. Its hard to think realistically and critically without emotion when innocent people are getting killed weekly, but that’s what it will take. A good critical, intelegent conversation? Laughable with America’s politics right now.

way to answer the question.  I'm guessing it is a bs statement.  i feel this forum is better than Facebook; please check facts before posting bs.

They all lost their seats for the ACA. It seems crazy too think about, but mass shootings have become much worse just in the last 6 years. If you don't think a democratic controlled legislature would have made a difference after Sandy Hook, Colorado or the Pulse nightclub, then republicans have got you fooled.

The Republicans are going to lose their seats soon enough for failure to act on mass shootings. Gun control will happen and as witnessed in the posted video from Parkland, our youth will get it right. This generation is the end of the line for ignorance.

i guess we will wait and see for the mid term elections.  however i doubt republicans will lose either house.  my guess is the blue states will be more blue and red states will be that much more red.
