    A picture of a gun on his phone does not mean he owns a gun. There are also no selfies of him posing with a gun

    In regards to what parts of the following quote is inaccurate, pretty much all of it, with the exception of him being unarmed the day he died

    "Earlier I stated Martin had a gun, he took selfies with it, but he didn’t have it when he attacked Zman"

    Yet again, look at the Brits, Kiwi's and Aussies if anyone struggles with American gun stats v those three countries.

    When did gun control start in the UK? Now, it's taken around 100 years to get where the UK is with guns, so there's a hint on where you need to start looking.

    Did you think gun control started a handful of years ago, a couple of decades?

    Do you feel gun stats in America are better or worse than the UK, New Zealand, and Australia? I reckon if you put the stats of the UK, NZ, and Australia together for the year, America wipes that out in one weekend.

    Not that I think number two would do any good about this sort of thing but it probably would help a lot more people.

    The idea of an institution for mentally disabled people that died off in the 1980s and now they're just basically put in jail when they do something criminal.

    I remember dealing with people that suffered with paranoid delusions when I worked security they would often talk to me just because I was a regular fixture in their day. Most of them are not the type of people to victimize others they're more likely to be the victims of crime themselves.

    The people that go on shootings I'm not sure if mental health is the problem there. I personally think it's indifference. I think they want people to believe that they're crazy but I think more than anything they want their name remembered, if they don't kill themselves in the act or shortly thereafter I think they delight in all the attention they get.

    I'm not sure I wouldn't lose in my mind if I tried to peer into theirs. Maybe all there is suffering from its emptiness. I have no idea how to solve this issue.

    But I do agree much more attention should be paid to people with mental illness not that I think it will do anything about this

    Of course you call my post claptrap. You are fond of guns which are designed to kill.
    You are the one with a problem, not me.

    It's claptrap because you people screech this same song and dance every single time you never do a damn thing.

    It's just the same song and dance every single time you need to learn new steps and new notes.

    I think I'm going to start living by a new policy never comment on threads about mass shooting because all of you people are worthless it's the same nothing that goes nowhere

    What I want does not matter. You need to answer my question.

    Come on....give me your answer. How many kids do you want dead? What is the price, in dead kids, what is the number, you are willing to pay to keep you gun?

    I can't answer your question because it's psychotic.

    You know nothing. A huge proportion of your gun carnage is caused by legally purchased weapons…!

    That’s correct. Because without the ability to defend oneself from a tyrannical government set on subjugating the populace the consequences of such actions that removing guns would precipitate is FAR worse than this tragedy and will make this look like romper room.

    I don’t support irresponsible gun ownership and never have. This guy is an atrocity who committed even worse.

    That does nothing to change the fact that removing firearms from the populace would result in FAR worse atrocities than this one.

    So then get your Dems to start a campaign to remove firearms. But y’all won’t because you know you’ll get pounded out on Election Day for it.

    Although I hope they’re stupid enough to go that route.

    Says the person who has no understanding of how governments usurp power from the people at any given time and as much as they’re possibly able to take. The historical record is clear. And it’s not my problem that you have no understanding of it.

    So your problem is with gun owners not murderers?

    Or do you think people who own guns or want to be cowboys is that what you want to do is that what you would do if you had a gun?

    I think he's from Australia they'll comment like they know anything when you find out there from Australia just forget everything they say because it's claptrap.

    They're angry and jealous that their rights were taken away and they want other people to suffer because misery loves company.

    Certainly is. Some time ago, we decided that the lives of our children were more important than allowing morons to easily obtain weapons of war….
