    I don't think anyone sees 20 children slaughtered one after the other and thinks, "Well after that first one I didn't care much anyway."

    The fear of creating copycats means we are already ed. We cannot live in such a fashion as to not suggest to anyone that they could possibly wreak havoc on society. That option is always on the table for everyone. If all a person needs is a nudge, it's pointless to pretend it won't happen.

    The answer isn't in preventing people from going postal. It's in empowering staff and students to be able to mitigate the problem until officers arrive. Right now everyone is vulnerable, and these "crazy" people oddly enough target areas where they are least likely to encounter resistance, a theater, a school, a temple, etc... Notice no one has attacked a military base and only one police station attack. Conventional arguments have been that innocents will be hurt in the crossfire. Guess what, they will all die if the guy doesn't run out of ammo first.

    It's only going to subside if we take a hard line stance. Removing everyone's ability to respond or defend themselves isn't the answer, and since the law only affects the law abiding, that's what many here are proposing doing because they lack enough understanding and tactical experience to see it any other way. They just want someone to make it go away.
    I see what you are saying and where you're going, but in regards to military base, wasn't Hasaan an example of that? i live right next to where it all happened, so that was a recent example. my point thought was more about the culture, how there is this vicious cycle of growing government, more crazy and shocking episodes, government cracks down harder etc...Strange days...

    Well you cannot but a gun at 13 of 14 now. Anyone here who knows existing gun laws would be a good start for a debate, however those of you who don't even know what laws are on the books now shouldn't be calling for tougher ones. That's just a knee jerk reaction. None of you will set out to learn the laws, you just accept what you hear and parrot it.

    Yet there's coke and weed at every HS party.

    It would huh? Would that make the parents feel better when their kids are killed? "Hey, we made it harder to get guns, sorry this person's father was a cop".

    The answer is always in deterrent. That's why the cop doesn't conceal. He's deterring crime just by being there, by being armed. We've had an armed populace for hundreds of years. You cannot suddenly start disarming the law abiding citizens and leave them at the mercy of the criminals.

    The guy committed a crime. That doesn't change the 2nd Amendment and it doesn't change the fact that we are ultimately responsible for our own safety. Our forefathers knew that.

    I'm not talking about buying a gun, I'm talking about illegally possessing a gun..my belief is that there should be stricter action on the circulation of semis/autos in the country..where I grew up, I could get a gun when I was in middle school, which was my point..

    The guns that are allowed into the country should only be accessible to a specific portion of the population, based on designated criteria..

    Coke and weed are at a much higher demand with the average person than a gun, tbh..still, even with the higher demand and more dispersed usage of drugs, it's still more difficult to smuggle drugs today than it was in previous eras IMO..

    I don't disagree with your deterrent argument..

    there are millions of people on this planet that suffer from undiagnosed mental issues that don't affect their daily lives..there are many people that are oblivious to their own mental deficiencies, just one frustrating stretch of life or incident away from reacting in psychotic violence..

    Is it easier to prevent these types of incidents from human beings that may not even be aware of their own mental problems, or would it make more sense to decrease the odds by harshening gun laws?..

    It may happen regardless, but it seems less likely that a man could kill 20+ people if it was more difficult to gain access to a gun..there shouldn't even be an argument..

    Also, the 1=20 argument is one of the worst arguments in ST history, tbh..

    No, Hassan was in the Army. He attacked people at a point where they were not armed, in the SRPC, basically a medical facility. The fact he was shot by military police and not someone else is testament to that fact. Soldiers are rarely armed unless they are deployed, standing guard or they are MPs. He picked the most docile place to shoot, and he's still alive.

    Don't try to tie everything into so grand unification theory of crime. It's a single event. Others will happen, but it's not because of the government.

    Happy Happy holidays.. Jesus H Christ I was doing Christmas shopping for my sister’s kids when I heard about this on the radio. How are these sick twisted people walking the streets? You have a problem with someone in your family take it up with them but 20 children.. It Is getting to the point where you are scared to even leave your home. All this violence that is occurring within the US, we are killing each-other in once senseless act of violence after another. I am all for strict gun control or at least steps in the direction of much stiffer sanctions.. Something has to change..

    Do you know the NFA laws pertaining to automatic rifles? Do you know the shooter in this case used two handguns and that his .223 was in his car? Please stop using semis and autos in the same sentence as if they are two categories available at your local gun store. They aren't.
    The guns that are allowed into the country should only be accessible to a specific portion of the population, based on designated criteria..
    Do you know existing import laws?
    Coke and weed are at a much higher demand with the average person than a gun, tbh..
    So then if an illegal substance cannot be controlled because of demand, what makes you think guns can?

    Here's your reasoning:

    1. Drugs, though illegal, cannot be controlled because they are in high demand
    2. Guns need to be controlled so we should make them illegal.
    I don't disagree with your deterrent argument..
    It's the only answer. Everything else propagates the fallacy that laws deter criminals.

    Free access to guns should have been stopped a long ing time ago. This isn't 1776, where the only firearms people have access to are flintlock muskets that take a minute to load each bullet.

    is ridiculous.

    lefties will certainly use this as another example to convince even more re s people's guns should be taken away from them for their own security, while what's actually shown in this case is just the opposite. if there was a person at the scene who carried a gun with him, he would've shot the gunner and the gunner would've been subdued before 20 people were killed, instead people counted on the cops to protect them but the mother ers in uniform would not show up until the gunner ran out of ammo. taking guns away from people will only leave them even more vulnerable to gun crimes tbh
    More guns does not decrease gun crimes.

    Damn you less liberals are some domesticated pieces of work. 1776 is why you're free to do the things you want, such as watching while large black men plow your wife with s longer than the barrel of this dude's rifle. You'd just as soon turn in your freedom and become a slave because like everyone else in this country, we've gone soft. How quickly people forget, the founding fathers gave us the 2nd amendment because they had incredible foresight and wanted to avoid the tyranny they shed BLOOD to defeat. The only sacrifice you have to make on a daily basis is sacrificing sleep for more time for tv or vice versa..you've never studied history and don't know what the you are talking about. You're only as free as you demand to be and people like you don't deserve to live free. You don't have the balls for it. PS - hitler was also for gun control, why don't you go off my 2nd amendment.

    Knee jerk reactions like yours, thinking you're less safe because some 20 year old kid shot up a kindergarten class in Connecticut, that pretty special. Then you say something needs to be done about guns.

    I highly doubt the parents are discussing guns at all. Makes me wonder why you felt endangered suddenly especially with all that MMA .

    bringing up irrelevant stuff is always a good way to show that you're grasping at straws and are losing the argument. tell me again how our violent crime rate is higher than all of europe because it isn't. if we let idiots like you run the country we might make the League of Shame

    they also like to blindly proclaim that we need to ban fully autos not realizing that the guy didn't use a fully auto and those aren't available without special permits. these are the same people spewing bull all over this forum and every news outlet crying about how fully auto's shouldn't be available and you don't need them to hunt deer blah blah as if the 2nd amendment was EVER about hunting. crofl @ the thought that dumb s who don't know the difference between a semi and an auto thinking they have any business making such important decisions for the country and their neighbors rights.

    Reminds me of the Obama interviews where the person was saying that Paul Ryan and Obama were a great duo, and that they did a great job. Most of these people are too mentally apathetic to ever learn about what ails them, and they will get over it in about 24 hours anyhow and be running their sausage socks about something else.

    That's why majority rule is dangerous. The majority is often ignorant and they move like a group of baitfish, flinching at every sign of danger real or perceived. They want to eliminate every right if they feel the least bit threatened as long as gas prices don't go up.
