And how they don't die in states with virtually no laws.

Funny world ain't it?
From what I’ve seen the rate of gun violence correlates to the strictness of gun laws in the state. I’m curious which state you are using as your measure. I’d like to see how it corresponds by looking at the data.

A state I lived in, Vermont.
Vermont has a rate per capita of just under 11 deaths per 100,000. It’s barely in the lowest 20.

The states with the strictest controls fill pretty much every position below them. And I’m not saying controls are THE reason. Wealth etc... play a huge part as well. But it correlates.

I'm pretty sure that rape isn't shooting.

Funny?

But what's your point? All guns should be banned? Good point! *High Five*
Sure confiscate all guns or accept that alot of these gun laws are not going to stop this in a 'free' country. There is a certain amount of risk living free. Institute universal background checks (and keep the database up to date), make them free to private citizens and have more mental health services and call it good. That's about all you can do that's constitutional.

Latest report is that one person is in critical condition, the boyfriend of the shooter.

You're right. America breeds idiocy so complete that there is no chance that the success other countries have had is possible in a "free" to be as stupid, insane and violent as ya wanna be country like America. Because that IS what gun nutters are talking about when they're talking about America's freedoms. Free to be shit. Free to keep experiencing mass shootings because no fu*king way should anyone tell the money grabbing corrupt industry they're hurting America and no fu*king way should gun nuts be shut the fu*k down. Stupid is their biggest freedom competing only with their right to guns.

STFU. Or don't. You're right to be resigned to gun violence. It's because you're to stupid.

I'm still laughing that so many Americans are fighting for their right to stay stupid while ignoring gun control successes of other "free" countries.

America! We (ONLY Americans) get to freely kill each other... But ONLY with guns! FREEDUMB!

Will you just calm the fuck down. People were shot, nobody cares about your diversion
Take it to a gun regulation thread.
This is the character of gun nutters in a shooting thread. It's not a stabbing thread, not a car pile up thread, not a smoking thread, not a alcohol thread....

Yet another shooting thread.

Besides, Ted Nugent approves birdies message, that's all that matters.

Obligatory thoughts and prayers.

My bad I'm human. It just gets so frustrating trying to explain that this shit is going to happen and banning certain guns is not going to stop this.

Can you not possibly entertain the idea that there are people that have strong convictions about the 2A that are not dumb or purely gun nuts? Even if you don't agree, there are people that really believe they themselves should be responsible for their defense. Some believe that having the 2A is important to keeping America free. Not everybody is simply about having more "toys".

Well I'm human and when you get talked about sometimes you want to poke the other side. At least I did it without call someone names.

Not sure if serious. And VT is a poor example.

It gets so frustrating us constantly having these threads because nothing can be done in the only country it happens in.

Fucking onion was spot on. Have fun fucking your guns you ammosexual.

Not true. Something can be done but just not as much as the anti 2A's want and what can be done is not going to eliminate this.
