I Am For Gun Control

I feel what people are doing after the school shooting in Florida is a step in the right direction. When tragedies like this happen there should be protest for change. If anyone of us went through what these kids, teachers or anyone else who has survived these mass shootings or lost someone due to these tragedies went through, I think many of us would want policies to change too. Plus something is not right when we hear another story of a mass shooting each year, the lives lost and the people affected. I understand that there will be people who will always support guns for whatever reason, but when there has been so many mass shootings after Columbine in the U.S. from the same type of weapons used by the murderer(s) then it is time to discuss the problem and ways to fix that problem.

During the obama administration , there were 162 mass shootings ... several of them in schools . And yet NOW you choose to speak out ? 262 people have been killed by AR-15’s in mass shootings or murders...EVER! 10,000 kids die in automobile accidents every year , nearly 100,000 die each year from medical malpractice ... but guns are the evil plague in the world ? While every public venue gets armed security , politicians have seen fit to deny armed security to protect our most precious assets ... our children . Instead they throw up signs that say “ Gun Free Zone” , and passed laws that say a person can’t carry a gun into school . And after repeatedly seeing that their efforts didn't work ... they pass more laws and blame guns . The common sense approach , Placing armed guards in those schools, requiring and official ID to enter the school seems to be beyond their grasp . And the reason is the left wants the issue ... not the resolution . THAT... is what you should be railing about ! Politician control !

@TexChik The leftist politicians send their children to schools with security and guns. Damn hypocrites.

@TexChik Guns are an evil plague to the world? Yes. If those AR-15 weren’t around, these tragedies would likely have never happened.

@SW-User yeah if those gun free zones didn't exist and teachers carried 45s

@SW-User sorry but a lib agenda talking point is not a plaque. Liberalism is the issue. Blue states refuse to execute murderers ...but expect fed money to house them .

SW-User

@TexChik see that’s the problem. Each time there is a conversation on gun control, instead of discussing the problem it turns to liberals this and liberals that. A person doesn’t have to be liberal to support gun restrictions. Yes, Because the judicial is so broken and some people sent to prison are innocent.

@SW-User the first thing Libs do is blame the NRA, instantly making those conversations political .

SW-User

@TexChik Because the NRA doesn’t want to do much about this gun problem, except the need for more guns. The discussion on gun control is political either way.

@SW-User because mental illness is the problem, not the tool

@MasterLee In Dylann Roofs, Omar Mateen’s and the San Bernadino couple’s case, those weren’t mental illnesses.
