Police: Suspected high school shooter dead

[Harpa Timsah 13,258]

Seriously?

Damn straight.

[JohnR! 5,495]

Must be. The NRA is doing God's will. To talk about where they get their funding will get your post removed on VJ, which is a true patriot site.

[Mr. Big Dog 10,747]

Damn straight.

So public record is off limits now? But only in regards to the funding of God's NRA disciples, yes?

Yep! Cover your eyes!

[Penny Lane 8,159]

So you are still here why ?

Because you can still live in a country while not loving everything about it and screaming that it's #1.

No, God forbid. Canada has too rich a middle class. We wouldn't want that. Takes away from the oligarchs.

I don't know that anyone was talking about anywhere being perfect. Must be responding to the arguments in your head again.

Oregon huh?....

What do you suggest . Lets fix it withing a year. I am game.. What to do

Okay, let's see.

Reinstate assault weapons ban or whatever it was that was allowed to lapse recently.

Further oversight on all gun purchases, background checks, databases of ammo, guns, everything. Keep track of suspicious buying patterns. For instance the theater shooter had bought a crazy amount of ammo online in the week before his shooting.

Close the gun show loophole.

Stop the NRA from buying politicians and lobbying.

Good gun owners should fight against the efforts by the NRA and gun manufacturers to advertise guns as cool and manly, instead invoking something else, maybe respect for weapons and life.

Mental health professionals should accompany police on welfare checks, which could have prevented Santa Barbara.

People need to take responsibility and not give their crazy kids shooting lessons, like Nancy Lanza.

Parents of crazy people should be able to get mental health help for their kids. A woman wrote an article after Sandy Hook and said that she wanted help but the only place to go was the ER and get her son on temporary lockdown which would last a day or so, then he was out.

More mental health professionals in high schools and colleges.

Media should not cover these stories at all, to prevent copycats and people wanting glory.

Lots of other mental health related stuff.

For a start.

Its worse than its ever been!! Well... Not really..

Anyone care to see it broken down by race?

[JohnR! 5,495]

Anyone care to see it broken down by race?

I would. How does the human race compare with other life forms when it comes to gun violence?

stop it with that truth stuff. we only allow liberal opinion and knee jerk reactions here.

[JohnR! 5,495]

However it is far easier - and requires less time off the couch watching TV - to do nothing, pretend there isn't an issue involving guns in our country and regurgitate the mantra that more guns can only make us safer, because face it, gun violence only really matters when it involves your kids. So long as someone else is shooting somebody else's kids, why should we even bother?
