        Gun control measures is an obvious solution. Citizens should not have the right to hold arms .How unenlightened and may I say primitive

        I am a 50-year-old man +, at certain times of my life, I have been in a very dark place. And I thank God in them times I did not have access to a gun. God bless 🙏.

        There have always been lots of guns, although granted not as many as today. It's really about the complete and total destruction of morality in America. And I'm not talking about religion.

        They never shoot themselves first. Doing so would save innocent lives.

        Why are we not shocked or in the least disturbed when we see, hear or read about such events????? @realDonaldTrump blaming foreigners for murdering Americans, while most of the killings are perpetrated by Americans, not Mexicans, not Iranians, not Africans, NOT MUSLIMS.

        Thoughts and prayers.... Blah blah blah. Looks like the 'good guys' had guns and still they couldn't prevent this happening - i am just really surprised that this didn't work!!
