How is it possible the Texas school shooter killed ten people? He didn't have a semiautomatic or an "assault weapon".
I thought those those evil semiautomatics were the cause of this sort of evil. That's what everybody was saying after Parkland.

Why don't people sue the NRA?, they are the crux of the problem. It's like cigarettes, and I bet if you look into it, a lot of the NRA members came from that background, they know what gun addiction is and how to milk people for all their worth. They don't care how many die from it, and never will. Until someone grows some balls to knock them down there will never be a solution to this.

That's like blaming AAA for drunken drivers. Please provide a list of NRA members who've shot up schools@UreBesFrend

@redredred This is the kind of deception NRA wants. Always deflect the blame, just like the Cigarette companies did. It's not the gun promoters killing people, its not the guns killing people, its people killing people, but if you take away the gun promoters, you cut off the head and can then address the problem of guns.

@UreBesFrend there are over 330,000,000 firearms in private hands in the US. There were always more guns than people in this country, that's how our ancestors beat the greatest army on earth during the revolution.
How many of those do you think required the NRA to sell? Really, honestly, in your heart-of-hearts, do you really believe, considering our history, do you think Americans need someone to encourage them to buy guns? Do you think gun owners are the sort of people who need to be led in their purchase decisions?

@redredred I think Americans have an addiction to guns that is spurred on by the amendment rights pushed by the NRA. They are led to believe that it is their god given right to own guns, so they do. Once they feel the cold steel in their hands, and shoot it a few times they are addicted and will fight tooth and nail to keep them, just like you are doing right now.
Beyond common sense, you think you need the guns, that someone is about to attack you, and its your right to own them. All part of the addiction.
If there is any hope for a cure for this addiction, the NRA needs to be accountable.. Sue them for every death, just like what happened with cigarette companies, if enough people do it, NRA will go away, and then it becomes a job of cleanup.
Personally I don't think this will ever happen, people are too afraid. Notice there isn't a single person that agrees with me, even though a lot of people know I am right.
Meanwhile, love your families, give them lots of hugs, go to church and pray, and do nothing about the problem, and hope one day someone you know isn't on the end of a bullet because that is all you have.

We do have an inherent right to keep and bear arms. It is not granted by the second amendment, that amendment debars the government from infringing on that right. Call this God given or simply the inherent right to self protection. A right to life means nothing without the means to protect it. I don't need to explain why I want to exercize an inherent right and I certainly don't need to explain it to people expressly antithetical to that right. I have responsibly owned firearms for more than fifty years and never hurt anyone. This is true for more than 99.99% of firearms in this country. Focusing upon the inanimate object instead of the rare but troubling mental health issues is a sure path to failure.@UreBesFrend

@UreBesFrend if anyone should be sued, it should be the gunn owner, which is in this case the father.. the owner of the gunn should be held accountable for all actions taken with a firearm they own..
Just like a bartender is liable serving drinks to a visibly drunk person

@Deadcutie Yes, but that will not stop the shootings, if you want to fix this it needs to go up the chain. Blame needs to be assigned correctly.
NRA has the dad addicted, the son then had access. This will continue unless someone takes action. Everyone puts on blinders to the real issue and lets it continue. Why are you not interested in fixing this?
No matter how to play it, guns ARE the problem here.

@UreBesFrend no, it will not stop a determined person.. however in this case, 10 people wouldn’t be checked into the morgue refrigerator right now if a dumbass father had his gunns secured...
UreBesFrend · M
@Deadcutie The son would have stolen from his friends dad, or from the neighbors.
Deadcutie · 18-21, F
@UreBesFrend then they would be responsible
UreBesFrend · M
@Deadcutie Besides, what is the point in having guns for protection when they are locked up? if someone kicks your door in, you need it loaded and ready... right?
Deadcutie · 18-21, F
@UreBesFrend irrelevant... you are responsible for who you allow access to your gunns.. period...

@UreBesFrend You've used the phrase "deflecting blame" in reference to the NRA. Did the NRA illegally acquire the firearms? No. Did the NRA plan the mass murder? No. Did the NRA go through with the execution of the mass slaughter? No.
The shooter knew exactly what he was doing and he knew it was wrong. Had even planned to kill himself before authorized got to him. There is only one person to blame...the shooter.
Pointing fingers at anyone else...now THAT is deflection.
