17 dead in Florida high school shooting .... gun control/debate will definitely take over the news again !

Are you for or against? I personally hate guns!! But I do believe in your right of owning them should they be readily available by others !! Still I hate guns!

I think guns should be legal but for Christ sake, does EVERYONE need a gun? You can buy a firearm without identification, without a background check, without a permit or a license. The guy who shot up the Orlando gay bar was on the United States domestic terrorism watch list for being an ISIL sympathizer but he was allowed to buy a gun.

@BlueMetalChick that’s fvcking ridiculous!!!!

@Lolco That's what I say too. He was barred from boarding an aircraft because there was too high a risk he'd try to hijack it. If someone can't ride on a plane because you think they're too dangerous then why would you allow them to buy a firearm?

@BlueMetalChick I agree with you. My only concern is that Ted Kennedy was on the no fly list and he had a very difficult time getting off of it. But it's very easy to get on it. People with the same name get accidentally put on it. The no fly list is just a broken and flawed system.. but one that has great potential!

@abe182 The no-fly list is one thing. But the domestic terrorism watch list is a whole different story, it's a lot harder to get marked for it.

@BlueMetalChick I'm from Missouri. Did you know they wanted to put the entire state on the terrorism watch list? Google it.
But yeah I see your point its much better than the no fly list.
