        @ABC This is not fair. You are punishing everyone for the few crazies that exploit guns. Try funding mental health issues, thats the problem

        @free2meetu what's wrong with background checks? If you got nothing to hide shouldn't be an issue right?

        @ABC impeach this man now. He is a president not a Dictator. Yet the media gives him a pass. Imagine if a republican did this?

        @ABC If you are selling large amounts of guns/weapons...there should be extensive background checks. Why Not???

        @ABC As an outsider from the UK you chaps really need to tighten gun laws! Not ban them but have more regulation on who can have them.

        @ABC having armed guards at schools might be only way to limit the damage....or destroy every gun...which would never happen nor should it
