What the ****! When will this stop? Will Americans ever accept that this would not happen if there were no guns? Why are the media live interviewing teenagers that have just seen their friends killed with a breaking news banner underneath them? So many questions. RIP those killed. What a ****** up world we live in.

They didn’t do anything after sandy hook when 6 year olds were shot. After the Florida shooting, they attacked the victims instead of considering the gun culture. There has been three school shootings in 8 days and 22 this year so far! 22! Republicans will talk about how tragic it is, say some ******** about god, and then keep taking the NRA money and do nothing.

Didn't Trump suggest arming the teachers? Probably a state or county decision.

Yes. The best way to deal with the gun problem is to have more guns. If you’re talking about arming teachers and can’t see there is a problem then they aren’t going to do something. At least the current generation.

The best way to get a policy change is probably a sniper shooting Trump. Obviously I hope that doesn't happen.

Another weird post! I don't recall Obama, Bush, Clinton etc making any changes so why would Trump being assassinated change anything?

To be fair, Obama tried but the republicans blocked every attempt.

Yeah because mike pence is really going to take on the NRA.

[bookworm]

All the shootings are caused by generations of inbreeding spawning congenital idiots who shouldn't be within 100 miles of a loaded firearm.in my honest opinion of course.

[Paul6754]

80-90% of Americans want significant changes to the gun laws but the NRA continues to be able to block the will of the people.

 

The NRA and the politicians that prevent significant changes to the gun laws should be held accountable in some way. It just beggars belief these mass shootings and shootings of any kind are allowed to continue unabated with no prospect of any change in the near future. Stupidity par excellence.

Whenever there is a mass shooting in America, The Onion just republishes the same article, time and time again.

This is another horrible day for Texas and the USA. We need to protect our schools better. But this guy had pipe bombs. What causes someone to do such a terrible thing, irrespective of the gun control issue?

How did every single person die? How did every single person die in Florida? Etc, etc, etc etc. To divert the argument away from guns is clutching straws. Unless you are suggesting that Americans youths are more naturally predisposed to violence and murder. Which puts you in the same camp as bookworm, which I’d be concerned about. To say you need to protect schools better and then argument against any gun control is dishonest and pretty damn vulgar. There is an easy way to start protecting schools from guns, but ideology prevents you from going there.

I have no idea why a group of the population, which massively overlaps with those that would call themselves Christians in America, would also passionately defend the right to bear weapons that are designed to kills as many people as possible as quickly and efficiently as possibly. The mental gymnastics to get there must be phenomenal.

If 90% of the population believe this then change should be easy. You managed to vote in a lunatic president with less than 50% of the votes. We managed to leave Europe with 51% of the vote. Hell, countries have had revolutions with less support than 90% of the population. I’d say the hope America has is the young. Depends on how much the older population and gun nuts can beat them down. The people who think ‘Forget the murderers, it’s the victims who we need to insult and attack.’

The desperate attempts to divert attention away from the issue will continue. This morning a republican suggests that the problem isn’t guns, oh no, the schools have too many doors. You couldn’t write better satire if you tried.

Pay attention, Trump attended the NRA conference a few weeks ago. So guess what? He likes his guns more than your favourites above. Oh by the way I said I didn't want him assassinated by a sniper. But given in my lifetime a president was killed by a sniper and another one shot at close quarters it is a conceivable possibility.
