    If now is not the time to talk about gun violence, when is the time? How many more folks have to die? Let's have a conversation about this right now - not just about mental illness or protecting our schools - let's get to the root cause and get assault weapons off our streets.pic.twitter.com/NIQt0oQtEH

        Except none of you can define an assault weapon. Especially since most of you have never served in the military or know anything about firearms. Educate and train our citizens so they feel confident in self defense! Follow your Arricle 1 responsibly to arm and train the Militia!

        You’re joking, right? Self defense has always been your God given right. You are instinctively wired to defend yourself and legally a member of the unorganized militia (depending on your state of residence), when required by your governor. Check your state laws for details.

        My point, Dave, is that I would feel much better not having to worry about defending myself against an invention designed with the exclusive purpose of efficiently killing human beings, and that the second amendment is not only archaic, but harmful to this country's population.

        Our species as a whole has not evolved to that point yet, and to be honest, probably never will. We need to be more realistic about what personal safety means in a violent and chaotic world. Life on earth will never be all rainbows and butterflies. Sorry to disappoint.

        Never once did I make that argument, Dave. But I have lived in two countries where these types of shootings don't happen, and statistics reflect that in countries that either heavily regulate gun sales or ban guns or ammunition entirely, this doesn't happen.

        And did either of those countries have a culture that reflects freedom and personal responsibility the way America does? Granted a collectivist mentality is choking out those ideals, sadly. But the point is that there are more creative ways to curb violence and homicide in the US

        We don't need to be creative, there's already a solution in place in many other countries. There's statistical precedent. We all should volunteer to give up the right to own a gun in order to allow parents to feel safe sending their children to school. Both countries had that.

        The root cause is people. The tool can be an AR-15, a shotgun, a knife, an airplane, a bus, a truck.....The person that commits the act is the root cause.

        Im a psychiatric nurse and that’s a crock of crap. You can’t ‘fix’ a determined sociopath. How many school children have died by anything OTHER than semi automatic rifles? Why does ANY civilian need this gun?

        Until they do something there is no reason to arrest or detain them. There are socio and psychopaths existing quietly in every walk of life. They are also called antisocial personalities. They have no conscience.

        Yea like Chicago. No law gets rid of these weapons. Sanctuary cities r part of problem. People can pick what laws they want to follow

        Only 40% of guns recovered in Chicago were purchased in Illinois. The neighboring state of Indiana has some of the loosest gun laws in the US. Laws have gotten rid of these weapons in every other country that has acted, the US simply refuses.

        Why did the Intel agencies and law enforcement not pick up on Cruzs intent from all his social media posts. Even the students knew he was a wack job. "FBI was notified" This is intelligence failure and law enforcement failure. Stop with the politics already!

        No Plan... what's your plan? I told you a root cause is Title IV-D,E and the Family Court Industry but you ignore it and citizens die. What date did you start investigating the above? Is now the right time?
