Sadly, 30+ people per day die to firearms every day in the U.S., yet it takes a tragedy like this to even wake the folks up, for a moment, but only a moment.

Unfortunately others are being just as stupid elsewhere. Fortunately another idiot was stopped by an armed bystander in San Antonio.

‘Unfortunately others are being just as stupid elsewhere.’

But how many of them are murder vs suicides?

The real issue is people with serious mental health issue not getting the help they needed.

Yes, and 30,000 die on our nation’s highways every year and we don’t get those drivers off of the roads; barely report it in the news.

You make a good point. Since we don’t get those dead drivers off the roads, most of our accidents are obviously caused by those zombie drivers.

“On May 18, 1927, a part-time caretaker at a school in Bath, Michigan, killed 45 people, including 38 children, when he blew up a school and then killed himself, along with two first responders at the scene. Another 58 people were wounded.”
Where there is a will, there is a way.

Why is it that punishing me for an insane person’s crime is just?

Then there is the 1993, 51 day Waco siege that ended in the US Government attack on a private compound, killing 74 men, women and children, including 12 children under 5.

Folks, I’m NOT getting into “Pro Gun” vs. “Anti Gun” today.
Please just try to remember, whatever your politics and feelings, that there are twenty families that have to bury their children on the week before Christmas!
Have a LITTLE compassion for them, please.

What punishment are you suffering? Are you afraid you won’t be able to buy a 100 round drum magazine for your AR15? Do you object to having to submit to a background check to buy an AK47? POOR BABY!!! Your deprivation compared to that of the 20 families that lost a child is insignificant. The fact that you complain indicates just how pathetic you are.

I have several students suffering from Asperger’s Syndrome who are working their way through university, yet YOU would lock them all up, punishing THEM for the actions of one.

That is NOT the real issue.
.
The real issue is that there are too many guns and the NRA will not allow for them to be technologically altered to make them unusuable in areas where they have no business being used!

Didn’t you learn in Kindergarten that sometimes the actions of just a few means that everybody has to suffer?
.
Didn’t you learn in the Army that when one man fails, the unit fails and so it is the job of the unit to make sure that each man holds up his part?
.
And how are you being punished? Tell me.
