Another shooting in the USA this time in Orlando. Enough is enough how many more innocent people will die because of guns. This is becoming a major issue now and something needs to be done for the sake of all innocent people.
Tolshortte [648554]

why are people so focused on how these killings happen? shouldn't it be why they are happening at the forefront? do you really believe they happen because guns exist?

some people are just nutters. other people feel like life has them trapped in a no win situation. some people just want to take the easy road and ignore laws in place.

its already illegal to kill and that hasn't ever stopped it. not sure why you think gun control would suddenly make a huge difference. killers have been around far longer than guns. when you solve that problem ill listen to your gun control arguments.

No.

I'm sure your vision of the ideal "Gun Control", closely resembles a ban and wouldn't do a single thing to stop tragedies or people killing each other in the streets of Chicago. We can't pass any laws that will stop evil, and if evil people can easily get gun's then I want to be able to get one too. No background check or database will hinder criminals, murderers, and rapists who have already determined not to follow laws.

this is a dumb thread... gun control will not prevent these shootings... look at the France shootings.... we have been through this a thousand times in these forums.. no gun control would stop this... im sure the dude was not allowed to have a gun so what law could there be to stop this.. he was on the fbi list... from what im hearing...

Rest in peace Christina Grimmie and all those in the club shooting who have lost their lives because of guns and morons. There will be gun control no matter how you look at it.
Remilia [1284087]

Then why make this thread? "There will be gun control whether you like it or not!!" Sounds like your being a troll and have no argument as to what issue exactly your version of gun control would alleviate and how.

AUSTRALIA AND THE UK BANNED GUNS and look how good they have it!!!
Yea, and so did Columbia and they are eating dogs and pigeons.

You have no argument. You have no discussion. You don't have anything to offer except "THE TIME FOR GUN CONTROL IS NOW, OMFG THEIR WUZ A MASS SHOOTING GAISE, WHY CAN'T YOU BA GUNS LIKE MY CIVILIZED COUNTY, Q.Q'"

I agree something needs to be done. I don't know what. But I do know that Republicans will not even have a discussion about gun control and they created this atmosphere of paranoia that the big bad govt is trying to take all their guns, so conservatives don't even discuss gun control. Yet they preach all about life when it comes to abortion. The hypocrisy makes me sick.
I would also like to point out that the shooting was at a gay nightclub. Right wing terrorism strikes again on U.S soil! The deadliest shooting in America.
ConmanTrump [443688]

Ummm maybe because 50 people dead, 53 critically injured. Maybe because it was all done by one guy? Maybe because these acts wouldn't happen if there was gun control. Umm idk why we focus on how one guy could of killed 50 plus people. It's not about making them think twice about it bro, whether it's illegal or not. It's about making it impossible for them to find a "tool" that could kill 50 people at one time. But keep living in your bubble. Conservatives LOL
Don't you live in Australia? Must be great feeling safe from gun violence all the time. Or is that a different troll?
buffoon [856059]

a gun isnt the only thing or tool that can create mass killings... it is prob. the most common but there are many ways to kill 100s or 1000s at a time without a single shot fired.. the reason the pro gun people dont bother to listen is cause the anti gun wont admit that gun control doesnt stop killers... there is gun control laws in affect now across the world and mass shootings still happen... i agree it is a waste of time to bother talking gun control till we fix more important things... and if i remember right Tolshortte is pro guns and pro gun control, just not in the way you think is important....
buffoon [856059]

zauzaum do you think guns are the biggest issue with this shooting? not me... i think the extremist is the real issue.... your logic is screwy, it would be like calling for alcohol reform cause a kkk leader was drunk and ran over a bunch of gays/blacks/or whatever... its like your trying to take the lime light away from the true issue.....
Poopsammich [1837779]

I think its pretty obvious the problem with mass shootings is people having access to assault rifles. There should be no reason that anyone has to have one for legal purposes or not. The people who have them that dont massacre people just have it to show off anyways.




Pinkie [1886343]

Why not give everyone a gun?

On a more serious point, Have you noticed that most of these school shootings and so on occur in America? Or at least those that reach public headlines, Shouldn't that be more of an inclination.. A few of their schools have metal detectors for gods sake.

Maybe it's just a media issue, but I live in Ireland and there is pretty tight gun control here, and I cannot recall any school shootings occuring. Even with population proportion that seems like an issue does it not?
dunmugmeh [538353]

in some countries its culturally inbred into people that they should have guns.
personally i find this disturbing.
i am 42.
i live in a rough part of town and i have never seen a gun, i dont think i have ever heard a gun either in real life.
how many people are killed by guns in england every year?
less than in 1 american city? probably.
guns arent fashion accessories, but some people think they are.
toys and trinkets are for fun, a gun isnt a toy. a lot of people think they are which to me seems to be warped and weird and pretty sick.

I grew up around guns, for hunting and general farm use. I was always taught safety surrounding the use and storage of them, before I got a chance to even shoot them. For as long as I remember and before me they have always been used in my family - including in war. They most certainly aren't a toy and I believe a lot of people are aware of this, aside from some people, which is a shame. I've always thought there must be some form of control surrounding the use of them. But events like this are very hard to stop.
