1. One reason we are NOT allowed to research guns, gun deaths is the stats on GOOD GUY WITH A GUN

would prove outright that it almost NEVER happens and will not happen and more guns is always worse, not better,

NRA and gun folks cant allow that.

If your hobby is guns, get a new hobby....may I suggest XBOX and Call of Duty maybe?

2. This should be called "The Abbott Massacre ".

A fellow DUer suggested naming them after the senator or congressperson in the particular district where the shooting occurs.

"An excellent suggestion: [View all]
How about instead of naming the next mass shooting after the city where it happened, we name it after a member of government who has done nothing to stop it? The next one should be the #GregAbbottMassacre"

3. If more guns is the plan to overcome violence are

more and readily available opioids the plan to overcome the opioid epidemic. Conservative answers to simple problems are staggeringly stupid.

Want less gun violence? Make it more difficult for those that should not have guns to obtain them. Background checks are a start. Ban semi-automatics is the next step. Long rifles and shotguns to registered licensed owners only. Eventually ban handguns except those held by gun clubs etc.

If England can do it we certainly can.

4. The so-called Wild West had lots of gun control

People didn't want anarchy and bloodshed. They wanted civilization.
