80/80

I am all for gun rights and protecting the 2nd amendment from liberals. But anyone who shows signs of mental illness should simply not be allowed to own guns. People convicted of crimes aren't allowed to. Hell, I only have 3 misdemeanors ever and I'm banned for life.

The answer is simply not to have ALL potential victims walking around with guns like some unstable middle eastern country. Shit man.. Its so sad. Pieces of shit who could do this shit should be tortured or something. Call in Samuel L Jackson from Unthinkable or Marcellus Wallace on their asses.

That would do nothing to stop the current problems. I'm fine with gun regulations that make sense, but the shooting problem is a mental health issue. Take away guns and we'll just have the same people plowing cars into crowds.

Murder is already illegal

Assault rifles have been banned for a while now (since 1994 iirc).

Guns already arent allowed at schools.

Felons arent allowed to have guns but often do anyway because as demonstrated, they dont follow the law lol.

So what do you suggest?

I agree dangerous people shouldn't be allowed to own guns. But what makes someone dangerous? I think all humans inherently are. All it takes is something terrible to happen as a catalyst. And say you're generally a good person, even keeled, but get in a fight, or suffer from a bout of depression or anxiety; does that warrant never owning a gun again? Its tough to gauge...

Exactly! It was an issue of someone with poor mental health having guns! Then we handle that when it comes. Vehicle manufacturers should play a large role in prevention of this. Ban them from driving too wtf

Sadly, bros, gun violence is a symptom of a broken people. Switzerland and Canada have lots of guns and stuff but not a lot of probs from them...

At the very least, people should know how to shoot before being able to buy guns.

Like, take a safety course or something.

i like how i could instantly tell the shooter was white once i saw that his "mental health" was being brought into question everywhere
