I like that you said to do background checks instead of taking them away. People are still going to get them either way. Guns being illegal won't stop any more people than drugs being illegal does

@TRell it’s not going to stop people from buying them illegally. But I bet it could lower the number of mass shootings. Like it other countries.

Well all I say is look at the U.K I can’t remember the last time we had a school shooting and we do very well without guns.

@Cford771 I think it was Dunblane in 1996 - so one in 22 years compared to 18 in the US so far this year ☹️

Spot on I’m not saying the U.K. is perfect because it really isn’t we have our own problems our politicians need to sort out but the poor kids that are caught up in this mothers and fathers brothers and sisters? I have a big heart and I really do feel for America I loved visiting Florida yes I was a tourist but I loved The people to be honest I was scared of the guns but who isn’t? @Dlrannie

@Cford771 Indeed we are not perfect in the UK but it's much safer living here than in the US

There are all sorts of incredibly complicated variables that go into creating a spree shooter.

One of the simplest, most obvious, and cleanest is access to firearms. The US has more regulations about photocopying books than it does guns.

@CountScrofula Its ironic thet the shooter was allowed to buy a gun at 18 but not buy beer until 21 - total madness

@Dlrannie I cant believe that either. It’s crazy.

@NaturalBeautyQueen Absolutely bonkers ☹️

Uk on guns? We don’t have guns and we don’t have mass shootings I think it’s a very valid point indeed masterlee lol

@Cford771 exactly. Gunnowners run in my family. They are very responsible. And I feel safe with them. An incident happened to me, where a man tried to take my baby from me. And my first thought was “if I had a gun....” So I’m not anti gun, like I said. And I sure as hell don’t want ALL guns taken away. Obviously.

I also lost loved ones, because of a crazy person. How did they get a gun? Is what I don’t understand.

Guns aren’t and shouldn’t be for everybody. And that is what gun control is for.

I’m going to go one step further... we don’t need guns that spray 100 bullets in 30 seconds for hunting and target practice

@RodneyTrotter not if the kid finds out that by keeping that toy, can hurt other people. My daughter who is 7, would be sad, if she had to give up her favorite toy. But would give it up in a heartbeat, if she knew it would help somebody. Children are more innocent than adults. I get what you’re saying though.

National reciprocity. It's time.
