Thoughts and Prayers Break Out Following Akron Ohio Mass Shooting. A Gun was Recovered at the Scene Unharmed. One Dead and 25 People Injured.

@Adeptlinguist nope won’t work. There are WAY too many guns

@Moneyonmymind Banning assault weapons will make a dent in the needless deaths, in the long term. We need to start somewhere.

@windinhishair and how exactly do you propose we do that? We have to be realistic here, people will find ways to hide guns and like I said there are too many of them, I don’t even like guns and I am saying this..

@Moneyonmymind No other country on Earth comes close to the USA’s absurd rate of gun deaths. Just grow up and give up the guns.

@Moneyonmymind As a practical matter, you can't take guns away from people that bought them legally for the reasons you suggested. However, you CAN ban future purchases, as we did between 1994 and 2004. That ban worked, and there is no reason to think it cannot work now. It is not a short term solution, because one does not exist. We have to take the long road to get there.

@Adeptlinguist 😂😂😂 you say this like 1) I’m a gun owner which I’m not I clearly said I don’t like guns and 2) as if people will just give up their guns with the snap of a finger, stop living in la la land.

@windinhishair that is a better alternative but due to how fucked things are in the US I doubt that would become a reality

@Moneyonmymind We as a people have allowed things to get so fucked up, and we are the only ones that can reverse direction. We have to start somewhere, and we have to start now.

@Moneyonmymind My comment was addressed to the US as a whole, not you!
