Which is more injurious to a child's health ?

@MrBrownstone very American. A serious problem-. So nothing. Conservatives.

@Changeisgonnacome Did the ones shooting have mental health problems?

@MrBrownstone did they have a gun?
So evasive-. And nothing.
Conservative.

@Changeisgonnacome What law would have prevented it?

@MrBrownstoneone that effectively brings in the absence of guns, obviously.

@Changeisgonnacome Because banning drugs has worked so well.

@hippyjoe1955 effective? Others will accept the need-. But conservatives want only this. What we see.

@Changeisgonnacome So just how well have gun/drug bans worked in the past? Here is a clue. They haven't. You simply can not legislate morality. Nice of you to play the silly part one here.

@hippyjoe1955 [center][/center] keep trying for failure. We know you will.

@Changeisgonnacome Failure begins when we lose the value of human life. You know things like abortion. Not a huge leap to where no human life is of value. If we can kill 1.5 MILLION babies in the womb every year we can kill kids in schools as well. Guns are a distraction not a cause. If not guns then some other method will be used. I am old enough to remember gun ranges in the schools. Kids were taught safe handling and marksmanship IN SCHOOL. Guess what there were no mass shootings. What changed? The value of human life.

@hippyjoe1955 the number of guns, too. And they're are fewer laws blocking gun sales.

@Changeisgonnacome Before 1934, there was no regulation of firearms. There was no age requirement, no background check, no ID needed, no proof of residency. No restriction on magazine capacity, no regulation of fully automatic weapons. It was strictly a cash and carry proposition. Since 1934, all the above-mentioned items have been enacted. In the last 90 years 20,000 laws have been added to restrict the purchase of firearms by states and the federal government. Fewer laws is totally incorrect.

@Roadsterrider since 2017, I'm correct.

@Changeisgonnacome 2018 CAD files to make 3D printer gun parts, several states banned bump stocks. In 2018 Trump proposed raising the age to purchase a long gun to 21 but Congress was too busy trying to impeach him to do anything with it.

@Changeisgonnacome When I was in highschool I walked into the local hardware store and bought a 12 gauge shotgun and a hammer. There was no paperwork for either other than the sales receipt. Over the years I had a .22 a .223 a .303 all purchased without filling out a form or having a mental evaluation or criminal check. Guess what none of those firearms were ever aimed at or fired at a fellow human being. The .303 was used to kill bears or deer. The .223 was used to hunt coyote and do target shooting. The .22 was used to hunt ground squirrels, skunks and the like. The shotgun was to hunt geese with. Each was a tool not a weapon. Each was stored safely so innocent children didn't have an accident. Oh and I suppose it helped that I didn't do drugs or watch video games or have any mental illness.
