Hopefully some day enough voters will force change. (about the mas shootings). But don't let me derail this thread's subject about hating the free press and democrats.


Of all the laws either proposed or actually passed, I fail to see any laws that would have prevented any of these shootings. Sandy Hook, Aurora Colorado, Las Vegas, the two L.A. muslim shooters, the muslim shooter at Pulse night club in Orlando, Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland FL, El Paso, Dayton, Baltimore, Chicago. Please detail how any laws proposed would have prevented EVEN ONE of these shootings.

All these shooters had legally purchased their weapons, and went through a long waiting period before receiving them. In the Sandy Hook case, the guns were purchased and legally owned by his mother. In the Parkland case, Nicholas Cruz depite many police calls and expulson from his high school, no documentation was made that would have prevented his lawful purchase of guns.

So ultimately, any of the laws proposed or passed only punish lawful gun owners, and do nothing to prevent these kind of mass shootings. In fact, they only prevent responsible gun owners from being armed on the street to stop one of these mass shooters.



These mass shootings are not a regular thing in other countries. Why?



Actually, they are:

Stoneman Douglas shooting in Parkland, FL topic

There may not be as many, but as I cited in the topic back then, they occur in France, Germany, China, India, virtually every country. And I linked a Wikipedia list of shootings, going back to the 1850's.

Despite liberal tendencies to hate their own country, this is not a problem unique to the United States. It happens in high schools and nations worldwide.
Would that it did not.
