People that want to do this awful stuff will find a way. All the laws in the world dont stop crazy.

@Sojournersoul Sad but I agree with that assessment.
@Swoop62 Very sad.
@Sojournersoul 100% correct
@Sojournersoul Surely that’s not arguing that there shouldn’t be laws ? Because people break them ? 🤔
@bijouxbroussard not at all we need laws but if people are determined to carry out this awful stuff, they will find a way.

@Sojournersoul but why make it easy for them?
@Axeroberts Never said anything about making it easier. I said, the crazy ones are going to find a way if the want to carry something out.

@Sojournersoul and I mean if an assault weapon is readily available I call that making it easy
@Axeroberts Any weapon can be an assault weapon. The two worst attacks happened on American soil and not a shot was fired.

@Axeroberts I know the weapon well carried it in the military. I can get off 36 rounds in 30 seconds with an automatic hand gun, that is an assault weapon too.

@Sojournersoul maybe those should be included. however these mass shootings we not happening on a daily basis when they only had your type of handgun
@Axeroberts They happen way to often but not on a daily basis. Why arent you talking about the other murders that do happen everyday. Listen, you have missed my point completely. I believe in gun laws, i dont want the wrong people having any weapon. I am saying even with strict gun laws crazy people will find a way.
@Sojournersoul As long as people are more interested in making excuses and false equivalences rather than coming up with actual solutions, nothing will change. And we’ll be tsking over yet another mass shooting. Will it be in a classroom ? An office ? A grocery store ? Another movie theatre, maybe ?
It’s like a reverse lottery. 😞
@bijouxbroussard what would your solution be?
@Sojournersoul We could start by trying to see what other developed countries are doing to avoid constant gun violence. What have they figured out that we’re not getting ?
Or maybe we truly don’t care.

@Sojournersoul Eliminate people's access to guns that are specifically designed to kill as many people as possible as quickly as possible.

@Sojournersoul They seem to in other Countries. What makes the US different. Is there something special about your people?
@bijouxbroussard that would be great. I am all for anything that makes this a better country.

@bijouxbroussard No. And don't call me Shirly.
@Vin53 😜

@Sojournersoul you are correct but that applies to most everything in life. It’s not an all or nothing thing tho!
