He was contained and taken down by 2 cops with guns.

Is it to late for my thoughts and prayers or should I just wait until the next one?

@WuWei

Throwing money at it won’t do any good. We need a completely new system.

You mean a gun referendum

[WuWei]

No, I mean what I said. You want to start voting on rights?

I hate that I don’t really care, and I trying to fight it. But since the media is reporting these bleeding lead stories so much I’ve been overdosed on it. To the point that a single digit casualty count isn’t worth reading the article for and to the point that the problem feels insurmountable and not worth wasting concern for.

Just like auto accidents. 1 or 2 deaths isn’t newsworthy. 4-5 deaths get 20 seconds of local coverage.

Apathy is the price we pay.

pretty much. there have 34 gun incidents today (with a number of hours to go).

Gun incidents? What did the guns do?

[WuWei]

They did incidents, duh!

@zantax

Gun incidents? What did the guns do?

Discharged.

Let me know when they go on trial, I want to watch that on TV.

[WuWei]

The gun who acts as its own attorney has a fool for a client.

If the round don’t fit; you must acquit.

The scales of justice will weigh in grains.

[WildRose]

A gun doesn’t discharge itself.

[Yakshi]

Thoughts, prayers, nothing we can do, et cetera.

[WildRose]

There’s lots we can do, much that has been suggested, much is being done, some of it will take time.

Hey, here’s a notion. Let’s try both.

1. Arm teachers
2. require background checks for private sales and increase age for sale.

One side says 1 will work, the other side says 2 will work, so let’s do both.

You left out the most important thing which is vastly increased funding for mental health.

Right. When you don’t know what the problem is, throw money at it. Works every time.

[Yakshi]

These poor guns keep getting used for the purpose that they were designed to achieve.

Let’s drop a tear for the guns, gents.

@moonshine

Colt sells an at-15. It’s used in a crime that injures someone. The victim sues colt claiming they are liable for their injuries for selling a deadly weapon. Just like a second hand smoke lawsuit. Hit the gun makers with a few million dollar judgements and things will change.

You have a mighty low opinion of the law and justice don’t you.

@CaughtInTheMiddle

Middle School. Damn.

You nailed it. Ban Middle Schools. We didn’t have middle schools when I went through K-12 and we didn’t have any shootings in or around the schools.

[WuWei]

Wonder what a jury of peers will consist of?

[Samm]

@moonshine

then why do gun makers need special laws to shield them from liability suits…
repeal the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act

if gun makers are so innocent they have nothing to worry about.

or else the will start losing lawsuits and change their tune

Have you ever heard of frivolous lawsuits? They can ruin an innocent person or company.

But of course that’s your intent, isn’t it.

[WildRose]

Well it’s Texas and if she chooses to sue she can pick the court. My bet is she’s smart enough to pick a rural county with an overwhelming majority of gun owners.
