@ peta - 28.08.18 - 02:05am There arent mass shootings every other day. Theyre rather sporadic. However, in states with more lenient gun rules youll find that the tendency or the susceptability of these incidents happening are greater. No one likes it, no one agrees with it, its akways a big loss, but you kinda get hyper vigilant about it. Land of the free and brave, maybe some ppl are too free and too brave. Not because I live in the US means I dislike nothing, isnt disappointed by some things and Im ok with everything. Theres nothing nice, cute, funny, commendable about any type of shootings that takes place. In fact ppl are really tired of them popping up here and there now and again. The states with higher gun ownership have fewer incidents. Also, this is incident wasn't a massage shooting. |

it's probably a very safe bet to say crazy people who plan to murder others and then kill themselves don't stop to consider the level of privately owned guns in the vicinity before finalising their plans. if that talking point holds true (I wouldn't be surprised to hear that it didn't), there'd more likely be other factors in play like local culture, being more rural etc. |

That's the point, guns aren't the problem, it's mental health, upbringing, fatherless homes etc.

@3mel | 28 August 18 | |
unless you have a quick fix for mental health problems it's a good idea to limit people's access to those guns.

I have no problem with increased background checks. I was responding to the claim that there are more incidents in states with lenient gun laws, which is just not true.

@3mel | 28 August 18 | |
may certainly you say
|

@kimjongl | 28 August 18 | |
Yes, considering the data.

@3mel | 28 August 18 | |
gun free zones and ''states with higher gun ownership'' are not the same thing, one shouldn't be used to try and complete a point started with the other. gun free zones exist in states with high gun ownership. |
