Ah, another mass shooting. That must mean more guns, right?

    20/21 injured in Florida, but the NRA must be rejoicing when these events occur. Same for the gun shops and manufacturers. A bad guy has a gun, unless you have a gun on your belt, you won't stop him. Let's see what the NRA and the gun lobby has allowed to happen:

    Columbine
    Virginia Tech
    A shooting at a Amish school in Lancaster, PA
    Near assassination of Gabrielle Giffords
    Aurora Theater Shooting
    Sandy Hook
    Paris Nightclub Massacre
    Las Vegas Massacre

    Now this, all brought to you by "defenders of the Second Amendment." The talk of banning bump stocks has silenced, there is zero discussion on mental health, but by the grace of God, don't take our guns (very same guns used in the shootings listed above) away. Otherwise, we will be angry and vote Republican, and make sure the NRA peddles influence in elections. When will 2nd Amendment nuts and peeps with gun fetishes stop allowing what happened in Florida to happen today? If you made it this far, I'm proud

    It's a problem of too many guns in a liberal, secular society.

    These situations didn't happen until we threw God under the bus.

    Because we have become less of a Christian nation means mass shootings will happen? Yeah, like Christians aren't subject to using a gun.

    Hopefully, you realize that bringing up shootings is not how you're going to get rid of the second amendment. You need to get congress to amend the constitution.

    Good luck!

    Yeah, we need to go back to the days when God was in our country and instead of schools shootings we had lynchings of blacks, imprisonment of gays, and massacres of Native Americans. Way more moral times! So godly!

    This just says that you don't understand the concept of free will.

    God gave us this (at least according to scripture). This means we have moral agency for our actions. God doesn't micro manage us.

    you can't think of a single way an omnipotent being could prevent a mass murder without overriding free will? that's just a failure of imagination.

    omnipotent means omnipotent. if you're going to answer with anything containing "has to" or "cannot", you're already wrong, because omnipotence means absolute power.

    This is not "brought to you by the defenders of the second amendment". Such bullshit. This is brought to you by your Founding Fathers that gave American's the rights to own firearms to always be protected from a tyrannical government trying to take them away.

    The second amendment never gave Americans the right to own firearms. That was the judiciary.

    Very sad. In USA 1999-2015, at least 533,000 people were killed by guns -- mostly by suicide.

    And everyone of those places were strictly no guns allowed, that seems to work well.

    Brought to you by life loathing nihilists, the irrational conclusion to the post modern delusion.

    If life has no objective meaning, then all is suffering, and the world deserves to be destroyed. This theme is parroted over and over again by people who carry out attacks like this.

    To be expected.

    http://dailycaller.com/2018/02/14/democrats-gun-control-florida-school-shooting/


    Democrats immediately politicized the Florida school shooting that left at least 17 people dead on Wednesday and demanded gun control legislation, even before it was known how the shooter got his gun and whether any proposed legislation would have stopped it.

    Man, ya think? Police are murdering unarmed citizens in the streets with impunity. Your economic and political system serves only the Wall Street/donor/"job creator" class and is actively engaged in societal wealth extraction, redistribution and concentration to the detriment of society as a whole. You have a corporate for profit prison industry with stocks traded on Wall Street and convict labor leasing which is a return to profiteering from bondage. That’s a growth industry with think tank legislation and lobbying with a vested interest in higher rates of poverty, recidivism, crime, violence, drug use and more criminalized behaviors in a post-industrial society. The population is under mass state surveillance and you now have no guarantee of Habeas Corpus.

    But owning a gun will protect you from a tyrannical power structure? :roflol:

    Lots of gun control could have prevented it. That's obvious

    I am a Classic Liberal. On this issue, Democrats are right 100%. On many issues Republicans are right.

    LOL, gun control never stopped shootings. The shootout at the OK corral was the result of gun control.
