"Charlene Slaugh, 35, and her brother James Slaugh were preparing to leave Club Q on Saturday night when a gunman opened fire, killing five and wounding 25 others...Charlene was shot at least once in the abdomen and suffered a collapsed lung. She is recovering after undergoing surgery and faces a long recovery."

If laws don't prevent criminals from murdering innocent people, then why bother having laws, police, courts, prisons, isn't that just a big waste of taxpayers' money? Selling military type weapons on street corners would be more convenient. No need for a license/permit to sell. No restrictions to buy.
'Big sale on hand grenades today, buy one get a second one Free'. Pick up a few "Bouncing Betty's" and entertain your family and friends.
Make sure you stock up on these items so that you can protect yourself against the criminals who already have them and aren't responsible owners like you.

@softspokenman Assault weapons ban will not stop unhinged people from going nuts and killing people, there are things that will help but as long as you are centered on the gun ban you won't get to them plus it will take rights away from lawful people who are not unhinged. A law is not always the answer, like prohibition did not solve the alcohol problem.

@softspokenman
Are you serious ?????
We need to fix the underlying problem that caused the individual to pull the trigger

Look at chicago for example
Lots of laws and lots of gun violence

@pdockal You'll be able to ice skate in hell before you predetermine who the next 'individual' will be that will pull the trigger and in the meantime the murders will continue while you're looking for that person. Mandatory mental health evaluations for everyone? Yeah, that'll work !

@Johnson212 there was a big massacre in Australia in the 90’s, they took away the guns, no more massacres. But it was definitely a false flag.

@softspokenman And pretty soon thats how it will be.. Of course there will be laws. But who is going to enforce them???😷

@whowasthatmaskedman 🤷‍♂️ The Manufacturer's and the NRA, maybe?

@softspokenman Of course.. And I am sure they will do a wonderful job...😷

@whowasthatmaskedman Maybe we should elect Alex Jones for president, he's a wealthy businessman, not a politician, and he makes up fairytales and gets paid to do it. And, he's a victim, he has to pay the entire $49 billion, it sucks being wealthy.

@whowasthatmaskedman Of course they will. Even 🎅 is saying Ho Ho Ho to that.

@softspokenman That people like Martin Luther King get shot and people like Alex Jones dont is what is wrong with America..😷

Proper background checks and especially mental health screening process and procedures would be the best way to stop the wrong people from arming themselves but I know it’s just currently far too easy to obtain guns at this moment in time.
