I’m in Scotland. After Dunblane; when a madman murdered 5 year olds, we banned guns instantly, no question. I just can’t fathom any of this.

Neither can we. Politicians need to start listening to the people instead of the NRA.

Absolutely, though money seems to talk louder than their constituents. My sincere sympathies on this all too regular tragedy befalling USA.

Not sure about this murderer, but normally a muslim or democrat doing the killings are the culprits. Let that sink in..

I'll let that sink in as far as Timothy mcvey or Dylan roof

I sleep very well with my shotgun & pistol. The only thing that will stop a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun.

And how do plan to stop a mentally ill person with an assault rifle? And how can the NRA justify allowing him to have one?

Do you know he was ill? Stop a bad guy with a gun, with a gun. The NRA doesn't ALLOW people to have a gun. The US Constitution does.

Mass killers in Colorado and Massachusetts were identified schizophrenics. Isn’t keeping weapons out of their hands common sense?

It's more than common sense, it's the only thing that makes sense. Guns and schizos don't mix.

It remains true that in countries where guns are rare, mass killings of any kind are rare. It's limited to a few, unfortunate people.

I wonder how the NRA Twitter account shows any activity since they usually go silent after mass shootings. When do they ever tweet?

They wait to see the race of the shooter. If they are white, it’s shameful to politicize a mass shooting. If they are brown it’s terrorism.

I bet you the NRA would defend a terrorist's right to bear arms. Their depravity knows no bounds.

Remember they opposed efforts to prevent those on terrorist watch lists from obtaining legal guns so they are ok with it!

Because only gitmo prisoners deserve due process, right liberal?

Actually, everyone deserves due process. That's one major criticism of Guantanamo. But you're drifting off.

It appears I overestimated your ability to process logic. Banning gun sales to ppl on terror watch list violates due process.

K. What about people with priors, or mental health problems, or known criminals/domestic abusers/KKK members?
