    if more guns makes everyone safer, why not just give the kids guns along with their laptops and books?

    If more guns made everyone safer, America would be the safest country on the planet.

    America's gun culture is the real problem. The only way to solve that problem is to reduce access to and the visibility of guns, not add guns to the picture (that includes armed officers in schools). It would take generations to get rid of the American gun culture in any case.... you all have a long road ahead of you even if everything goes perfectly.

    what would happen if we can get a trans person to do ads for guns? would that maybe make some of these gun people not want to buy that particular gun? like what if smith and wesson went woke?

    it has had that impact on beer, why not try it with guns?

    I read something the other day that said a large percentage of gun sales over the last couple years have been made by women and minorities.

    Check this out....

    KY law requires that the gun used in the shooting must be auctioned off.  Complete bullshit.  Should be destroyed.

    Follow the Japanese model.  Limited gun shops with very strict screening. Harsh penalties for holding a gun. The gangsters and the police in Japan do not carry guns. It is not complicated. Get rid of the guns.

    How do you do that without creating massive civil unrest?

    the civil unrest is going to happen no matter what happens. even if our government does the same thing it always does, which is nothing. might as well get it overwith sooner than later. something has to change soon.

    Enforce the rules. We already have civil unrest. Just do it without the guns.

    This would be WAY more difficult than it sounds. These aren’t rational Australians we’re talking about. This is people treating a document written 200+ years ago by drunk men in drag as the holy gospel. It’s a living document with amendments but it’s not ammendable! 

    YEE HAW!

    Yeah I think it would lead to a total civil war! And who would enforce it? It would have to be the armed forces no, def don’t see local police forces doing it they are part of the pro gun 2A over my dead body crowd.

    Should we change the thread title to "Mass shooting of the day, USA"?

    Four people killed and multiple others injured in Alabama shooting

    Incident happened at about 10.30pm Saturday night at a 16th birthday party in Dadeville, according to a local news station

    Four people were killed in a shooting in east Alabama on Saturday night and multiple people left injured, police said.

    WRBL, a local news station, reported that the shooting happened at about 10.30pm Saturday night at a 16th birthday party in Dadeville, about 50 miles north-east of Montgomery.

    Pastor Ben Hayes, who serves as the chaplain for the Dadeville police department and for the local high school football team, said most of the victims are teenagers . He said the shooting has rocked the small town where serious crime is rare.

    “One of the young men that was killed was one of our star athletes and just a great guy. So I knew many of these students. Dadeville is a small town and this is going to affect everybody in this area,” Hayes said.

    It was not immediately known if a suspect was in custody.
