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!

The idea should never be to "take away guns" since that's just never going to fly. People shouldn't even bring it up as a talking point. That's not going to happen, arguing about it is a waste of time, stop.

What we need to focus on is preventing these things from happening. And if that's not your focus you're apart of the issue period. If we have to edit the Constitution, which isn't something new, to get it done then so be it. But I'm sure out of the 350+ million of us shit heads we can find a solution that doesn't involve that.

But whatever we're just going to hear people crying and screaming for another week and a half.

@SwarmSona so how do we prevent these things from happening?

@SwarmSona I see a real problem with your post. you make it sound like it is the people that are screaming about gun control that are the problem an you have to bear all the whining for a "week and a half" not so worried about the parents of those poor young kids that were killed needlessly

@looking4thesun I thought the same

@Lolco its a common mentality in the states unfortunately

@looking4thesun They are the problem. Everytime this happens absolutely nothing changes, why? Because the debate gets stuck on taking away guns or not. The Politicians act the exact same way because they're thinking about reelection and so they don't do much if anything. A week and a half passes something else catches the hive minds attention and we're off. Some time later another school/mall/whatever shooting and the same shit happens.

As if my worry can bring back a child, a brother, mother, an uncle, a cousin. 50 fkin people get murdered an hour accross the globe and NO AMOUNT OF WORRY WILL BRING THEM BACK. Let's not even get into other preventable deaths.

So yeah it's fuckin terrible for those families, and we can't resurrect their loved ones. But what we can do is make sure they didn't die in vain by fighting to prevent another occurrence in everyway possible. We're not doing that as a country. We all have responsibility.

But whatever
