@Notsimilar Every country has mentally ill people. Yet no mass shootings

@Quetzalcoatlus there are too many downfalls to taking away guns from Americans. There are many many good citizens who will not give them up and then we would be making good people criminals. The black market for guns which is already huge will only become larger. Guns will start flooding into this country at record large rates. There are underground militias all over America and they will not give up their weapons. The second amendment. List goes on.... Fact is these crazy twats who go out and shoot up random civilians are extremely mentally ill and getting overlooked. The dude was fucking posting on Facebook everything he was doing and no one paid any attention.

Maybe it's not just background checks but mental wellness and stability checks needed to purchase weapons. Maybe making schools safer and not just open for any terrorist or murderer to waltz into without anyone blinking until they pull a gun is a good idea.

There are alot of measures that can be taken to prevent these situations in the future without making owning a gun illegal. It's alot of work but we are beyond capable.

Making guns illegal will create massive problems and disobedience and just isn't the fix all to this problem sorry. There is so much more to be done. People just need to use their fucking brains and not put all their stock in what may seem like the most easy and effective answer. Give it a little more thought.

@Notsimilar There are many countries with high ownership rates and no mass shootings. They simply have common sense permitting. Mental and criminal checks, safety training etc...
