Enough is enough. Public massacres and school shootings must stop.

AR15 are war weapons. To kill as many humans as possible. Call me stupid but you are evil.
You are stupid. AR15 is not a war weapon. It's based on a war weapon, but it functions completely different from one. People who know a lot more than you about this can educate you a lot, but you're too ignorant to listen.

This was the school's fault in my opinion. This kid got expelled for making threats.
Why weren't authorities alerted before? How was he not hit with a felony. That would bar him from buying a gun.
Manynif these shooters have had diagnosed mental illnesses.
I think I heard the weapon was stolen.
Well, easy solution then. We'll just pass a law that makes stealing guns illegal. Oh, wait...

Brilliant rejoinder! (not really)
This, from a member who just joined a few minutes ago! I'm deeply hurt.
But you're right on one point though, I don't advocate banning guns...I very much DO advocate banning KILLERS!
Forget the tool they use to do it!
I will await your blisteringly witty and intelligent retort!
By minutes do you mean hours? And what difference does that make. Or are you just grasping at something to discredit me with?
Ban killers... wow isnt that a refreshing and new idea. Any ideas on how to stop killers in the first place?
Or are you going to me petition against Mario Kart for influencing car crashes. #HeadsGone

Damn right. None of this Band-Aid "Lets attack the very tool that could've stopped this psychopath" nonsense. Although liberals love to blame guns for all our problems, it is clearly a sign of the times and their destruction of our moral values. A total breakdown of norms.
Not to mention, this shooter was a communist/antifa revolutionary. He had ZERO to do with the right wing. The left owns this bastard entirely. They created him, pumped him full of ideology and Hussein Obama himself normalized the actions of communists/black revolutionaries by watching them riot and making excuses. "Well there community is in pain!" Obama proclaimed, while apparently ignoring the blood and bodies he and the Dems would have on their hands.
Every single gun-free zone, or person without the right to carry ANY weapon (including automatics and DDs) for personal defense puts a little extra blood on their hands.
School shootings have taken off exponentially since Obama's failed domestic policies and making excuses for violent revolutionaries (remember when he wanted to kiss Castro's a%% after he kicked off?).
As you can see, school shootings had been carrying on at approximately a steady climb over the past century or so.
>There were 226 shootings during the 20th century
>From the commencement of the 21st century to the most recently occurring shooting (of February 14, 2018), the number of shootings is 212
>2018 has already had 18 school shootings
Clearly the availability of guns had not increased, but actually decreased. Note how there were ZERO gun laws in this nation before the NFA of 1934. Any explosives, rocket launchers, missiles, gravity bombs, artillery, tanks, machine guns, howitzer cannons and fire bombs were all lawful to own, build or otherwise use. Yet the passing of this highly unconstituional law did ZERO to stymie the increase in tragedies like school shootings. These are ALL still lawful to own, however you have to jump through hoops of Big Brother (AKA the infringers)
The NFA and subsequent infringing GCA is an exercise of taxation and infringment gone bad. But as you see by the numbers above, made zero difference. Like all gun control laws, they're based on ridiculous assumptions by those with zero knowledge of practical firearms application/use.
As you'll see, school shootings actually INCREASED after the passage of the NFA and then SKYROCKETED after the passing of the Gun Control Act. Gun Control Kills
So, if access to sophisticated weapons of war is so evil (which isn't a semi auto rifle), why were the school shootings/murder rates so low when actual weapons of war were freely available with zero regulation? This is the default position, and one we must return to. No matter what the cost.
More guns save lives. Less guns kill innocent people. Especially when a dangerous, extremist far-left revolutionary like Nik Cruz picks out a gun-free killzone.
What is clear is that the 21st century has already had nearly as many deaths as the entire 20th century. This is disturbing for obvious reasons. Access to guns hasn't increased. Total moral destruction, and liberals blaming everyone but the criminal for their crimes is the problem.

you want the fbi to stop this, but you're okay that it's just gotten easier for a person with mental illness to purchase a gun.

Or you are too deep in the subject matter to see a weapon is a weapon is made to kill, no matter how much you call it "sport rifle"...
I'm deep enough in the subject matter to know that means nothing. We kill more people every year with machines that aren't designed to kill. And if you want to get into that, it's not designed to murder.

Had nothing to do with guns.
Quit looking for band-aids and making excuses for a criminal's actions.
All guns were freely available (zero regulation) until 1934. Why were shootings exceedingly rare before this point? Why did these shootings QUADRUPLE since Obama took office and deceived this nation with all his deceitful neo-liberal lies? And normalized the actions of violent communists, black separatists and antifa revolutionaries.
Thanks, Barry Soetoro.

She proposes some more magical liberal thinking.
As I just pointed out, gun control has done NOTHING to stop school shootings (they've kept increasing majorly)
All GUNS and explosives were totally unregulated prior to the usurping in 1934. Yet it only started becoming a common problem in the 21st century. Why? Obama & failed liberal domestic policies. Failed liberals, failed policies, failed this country.

Yes.
You have every single CITIZEN armed to the teeth. Mutual assured destruction. Nobody would dare. And if they did? Well thank god a handful of armed CITIZENS are already nearby. Easy.
Either way, this conversation is a waste of time. The anti-gun position has almost no support, and you'll only find other neo-liberal wishful "dreamers" to go along with you/agree with you. As they say on Dem underground, it makes no difference is your "echo chamber" agrees with you.
Getting the pro-gun side to take any action is going to be impossible. No tragedy will change that, because it is the shooter who is responsible and his poor parents who didn't stop his communist BS in time.
Communism kills. Bring back HUAC!

Yet another example where FBI and our "elite" (Ha HA) federal agencies drop the ball.
The only "attacks" those clowns stop are the ones they set-up. You know, via their informants and networks in order to make it look more serious/newsworthy
FBI and IC stopped being legitimate/for the American people in 1934.

Now being a rifle (air) owner I can see how you fall in love with your gun.
A Heron was shot with an air rifle a few weeks back here in the UK and they are talking about having to have a licence for one now.
If it stops kids shooting Herons I will get a licence and a gun cabinet.
