Ill say it, does anyone think you can stop a lone nut with a gun?

Most these idiots bought the guns legally!

No one, even the democrats, will support banning the sale of firearms. Or registering them, which would do nothing.

Are you going to have a psychologist interview everyone who wants a gun?

Prevent someone from borrowing their parents or friends guns? Nope!

50,000 hand guns are stolen a year, only about 9,000 murders are committed by hand guns a year, so stolen guns more than cover the need.

The huge issue is why this damn country is so violent. Why so many people want to kill someone.

If we run on gun control in 2016 it will hurt us not help us.

And unless you can cite proof, I have not seen a single Dem candidate say they want to ban the sale of guns.

All as a justification for Conceal Carry.

Just by the way they look they could tell. I guess if they could tell they could then pull out their gun before they suspect shooter pulled theirs and thereby stop them? I don't know!

the cat is out of the bag. "It's WAY too late for Gun Control in America" - Steve Earle.

why is the country so violent? BECAUSE THERE ARE SO MANY GUNS. guns make crimes more violent. guns make suicide easier and faster. because there are so many guns, our police assume every yahoo has one, so they shoot first.
