Meh. Not like they matter. Nothing happened with Obama in office so *definitely* nothing is gonna happen with Trump.

We didn't do anything when 2 kids shot up a high school, we didn't do anything when 1 kid shot up an elementary school... on and on and on

151600 people dies everyday.

Did they ever stop?
No,but it always flares up after every one of these...then dies down till the next one. Hate to sound cynical,but it's a hopeless situation.

Guns control is not the problem. The media and lack of mental health coverage is.
Leithreas
We have to keep having it because the NRA is too good at spouting bullshit and lobby money.
garathselbow
So what about the guy that mowed down a bunch of people in a car? Should we make cars illegal?

The problem is that guns are so abundant here that even if they outlawed them people can still find them. There's too many to get rid of
amomaxia
And if he had a middle eastern sounding name, the travel ban debates would be coming. Welcome to America!
FlashThunder1944
No debates. The travel ban is back in effect with more countries added.
Fine, fine... Mental Health crisis it is!
Just an average Joe white guy this time,can't blame the muslims this time.

It always seems to happen that way. Some nut job kills a bunch of people with guns and then guns are automatically demonized.

A nut job killed a bunch of people in a school with a samurai sword in Sweden.
So outlawing swords is in order then! (Sarcasm)
I think you need a licence to have a sharpened sword. But nothing can keep you from sharpening it yourself.
Oh, good grief......

What happened now?

GeneralMinuteman
Based on his rate of fire, it sounds like he used an already illegal weapon. The "debate" will still happen, but sound dumber than normal.
AlienMark
An illegal weapon and 9 rifles.
Dayum! I stand corrected.

He used an illegal weapon. Really not much we can do except try and end the black market for firearms. Only people with class 3 licenses 1/2
chudtime
Didn't he have like 10 rifles in his room?
Illegal weapons almost always start out legally purchased. We don't have a lot of imported illegal guns into the US.

can purchase fully automatic weapons. So he either stole it somehow or found a dealer. 2/2
He had 10 weapons when they found him.
Just learned that after more developments. Went off what I knew at 7am this morning

Not true. Law abiding citizens can own machine guns if the state allows. Just need that tax stamp and be manufactured before 1984...
And money. Lots..

and 30,000 or more dollars later
Not quite. Some mgs can be had for 15 or less. Really depends on what you want. Sure an AK can start around 30k, and mp5 around 40k.
