Here's a radical idea! I want to say ban all guns but I know some women who live alone and need a handgun or a rifle for protection.
So I'll say get rid of automatic killing machines! We all know they serve one purpose and that purpose is to slaughter as many people as you can.
One more thing. Shoot the shooter. Get rid of him. I don't want to pay for his room and board. An eye for an eye works for me. Works very well for me.

Republicans are NEVER going to do anything about gun control unless we hold their feet to the fire and literally force them to take some action. Their blind base of tRump followers doesn't even question their lack of action. They simply empty one glass of Kool-Aid and ask for another one. Texas which probably has about the most liberal gun laws in the country already (everybody and their dog or maybe even including their dog can have a gun and carry it just about anywhere), is actually doubling down on making their gun laws even looser which makes no sense to me. Tennessee isn't really any better. As for those people who say the answer is for even more people to have guns, I'd be willing to bet my last nickel that there were people in that WalMart who had guns. Heck the store itself sells guns and ammunition, but that didn't help anything. So what do those "my 2nd Amendment is sacred, but the rest of the constitution isn't worth the paper it's printed on" gun advocates think about that?

Nothing will change in the senate until the Grim Reeper comes for the Grim Reeper.

I heard that the WalMart is a gun free zone. Not sure if that's true of all WalMarts or just that one. So all those good guys with guns had to leave them in their vehicles while they shopped.
These last several days have really wrecked my sleep, too. I listened to Mayor Pete last night and he calmed me and made soooo much sense! Then I had a horrid dream about Trump!
How long have high capacity guns been available to the public in this country? Is their availability the reason why we have so many mass shootings?

conniefromct, I had not heard that WalMart was a gun free zone. I looked it up online just now and got conflicting accounts. One article I read in the New York Times indicated that it was not a gun free zone. The article I saw posted from Fox and Friends said that it was a gun free zone. Either way it's a hot mess. I don't know the answer to your question about high capacity guns, but it's an interesting question. Maybe we should all just start gearing up each morning in body armor and combat helmets. It seems to be coming to that point.

amyrs, that both breaks my heart and makes me blazing angry. No child should ever be treated that way for any reason, and the fact that it was done by our government thus in my name and your name is appalling. This administration is the epitome of evil.

Wars were fought, military people bled to desth on many battle fields, parents lost children and children had parents killed in wars for the USA to be the land of the free and home of the brave.
Brave? Sounds more like bullies and thugs to me. Free? Locking fearful children in cages and kidnapping their parents? The people cheering on these inhumane acts are the same disgusting beings who taunt women trying to enter a women's health clinic. Standing there shouting at the women while they hold Old Glory in one hand and a cross in the other.
I often wonder what would have happened if the Native Americans treated the drunk, lost white guy who stumbled upon their shore,the way we treat immigrants today.
This isn't America the beautiful this is America the disgraceful and it's going to come back and bite us where the Sun don't shine. Maybe not you personally, but your children or your children's children will pay the price if we don't nip this evil in the bud.
Imho, of course. Lol.

Think about how you, as a child, would feel to come home from school and Mom and Dad aren't there. No where in sight. All gone.
Think about it.

This JA/FM is incapable of even pretending to be human. I can no longer even bear to look at him. Whenever he appears on my TV screen I immediately switch the channels. There are no words that can describe how I feel about him. To say he disgusts me doesn't even begin to scratch the surface. He has simply got to be voted out of office. I don't want to have to continue being ashamed of my country, but that is exactly what I am now. I am ashamed of what my government is doing in my name. I am ashamed that somehow we allowed this POS to be voted into office. I am disgusted and ashamed of every single citizen who supports him.

nashville11, I know! I try to watch Fox once in a while just to see what they're saying, but I can't take it for long. It is truly like they are in an alternate universe.
