So then we just allow made shootings to happen and do nothing? A conversation doesn't necessarily mean gun control. It means trying to find a root cause for all these shootings and finding a way to prevent future ones. If it turns out that gun control is the best way to go then I'm for it. Human life is worth more than an inanimate object.
Mental Illness is the root of the problem.... but no one wants to address it.

So basically they're throwing a tantrum until they get their way. Welcome to the political left.
you actually endorse every massacre then?
Previously, individuals could be banned from buying firearms only if they are involuntarily committed to a mental health facility. Guns could be seized from individuals only if: A licensed therapist notifies police that the individual is a risk to their own safety or the safety of others; They have been convicted of a felony or a violent misdemeanor; They are under a domestic violence restraining order; or They have been determined to be mentally unstable (California Healthline, 9/4).

My god some of the paranoid delusional comments in here.
ISIS wins if you don't have a gun to protect yourself. HAHAHAHA.
Reality check, your gun isn't protecting anything. You having a gun isn't stopping mass shootings, it isn't stopping terrorist attacks, the same laws/rights that are ludicrously allowing such a free flow of murder weapons throughout America is actually aiding mass shootings and aiding terrorist attacks.
The only thing owning a gun is doing is massaging your own ego.
Owning a gun puts your family at more risk of gun related death than if you didn't own a gun. Fact.
Keep ignoring this because you want to feel like a bigger man by arming yourself. You aren't protecting sh1t but your ego.

Hillary continues to lead Trump in every poll ... and Trumps popularity continues to fall ... in every poll.
RCP - Clinton v. Trump
RCP - Trump Favorable/Unfavorable
But, you keep up with the hopeful reality-denying banter! It worked so well for Romney in 2012, din't it? Just ask Karl Rove.

For anyone who thinks a filibuster will unhinge the 2nd amendment don't be concerned it takes a lot more than ass holes talking to remove an article it will take a Constitutional convention and an army, and millions of body bags. All of the present military has sworn an oath to defend the Constitution...it don't say anything about defending any government. The Constitution is a document of the people that restricts the government not the other way around. The military will fight for us not the Muslim or any of his cohorts.
Why is it when there is a terrorist attack, we are told not to hold everyone in that group accountable for "the actions of a few" But when there is a mass shooting, EVERY gun owner is held accountable?
