So many signs that the Florida shooter was mentally disturbed, even expelled from school for bad and erratic behavior. Neighbors and classmates knew he was a big problem. Must always report such instances to authorities, again and again!

Hello 911? I'd like to report an emotionally disturbed young man with behavioral issues who owns an entire arsenal of semi-automatic weapons and posts crazy stuff online

911: none of that is illegal or an emergency ma'am

Ok, but the President said

911: have a good day

The constitution states you have the right to bear arms, doesn't say those arms are exclusively guns. The government could confiscate your guns and you're still allowed knives, swords, bayonets, and cannons like the founding father's planned!


It does say well armed

Which is obviously a distinction that will change over time as weapons evolve

I dunno, it seems pretty clear to me that it means These are the only rules we are taking out of the hands of the states; if you want to restrict any others you need an Amendment.

We are never going to have a constructive debate about gun control until the Left acknowledges that Congress has to take this to an amendment vote


Why? We dont do this for most things that circumvent the letter of the Constitution

I can't think of a single other hot button issue that is directly spelled out in the Constitution, but debate rages anyway.


States rights?

I think the least we can do is regulate guns at least as much as we regulate cars, and I don't think that's too ridiculous, unless you're one of the libertarian types who thinks driver's licenses are impugning our god-given rights somehow

it always comes with a heavy political cost and it's not sustainable at all, unlike the slow smooth method.

No, I do not. At least in America, I have faith in our checks and balances to prevent such a thing before it gets to the level of civilians need to fight the Army.

The Trump administration is proving to me that even in a worst case scenario, our checks and balances can bear the pressure. Barely.

The logic I'm seeing used is "well it's possible to kill people with other stuff than guns, so why target guns?" Maybe because revising gun laws would make things better? Progress should not be opposed just because it doesn't immediately solve all problems.


This obviously presupposes that mass shootings are the only consequence of a society with guns. Or that the existence of guns isn't actively promoting peace where it exists (as many conservatives would point out). Do you just go "bah humbug" to these claims or do you have good reason to believe they are mistaken. Convince me!


My personal belief is that anyone (pending background check) should be able to purchase a handgun for protection or a hunting rifle for hunting.

My issue is with firearms designed for the battlefield. I see no discernible reason for them to be widely available to civilians

it definitely feels a bit stiffer

Fox News just said this is the deadliest school shooting "in the history of Broward County." Needless to say, only in America do individual counties have histories of school shootings.

Well, yeah. It's always so expensive. None of my buddies are going to spend that much money when there's always a decent chance we'll get a stinker of a show.

I think they're just too used to people paying so much for tickets in the past that they don't realize it's not as popular now.
