    Four out of the five deadliest mass shooting in modern U.S. history have taken place since 2012 and all four of those shooters used AR-15 model rifles in their attackshttp://on.wsj.com/2HktRhI

        How many more mass shootings will it take before you "know all" Americans will wake up to the fact that your gun control laws are the main reason for this slaughtering of people. Surely there are unstable people in other countries too - but they don't have the access that you do!

        Statistically pools are more dangerous to kids than guns. Does that matter to you? Pools are not a necessity and the lobby is weaker. Let’s start there.

        No it does not matter to me because I have not heard about anybody who walks around in the USA, killing innocent people with a pool. But you have to many examples of people being killed by semi- automatic guns - that is what matters to me!

        So the real issue is people that walk around looking for children to kill. How about we devote effort to finding the people that have that desire?

        Absolutely. I like how you said the civilized world. Meaning any examples I toss up are obviously uncivilized. Then we just need to change the constitution and give up a few rights and we can gain this utopia. Like everywhere else. NK for example.

        If your benchmark in firearm-related deaths consists of Honduras, Venezuela, El Salvador, Swaziland, Guatemala, Jamaica, Colombia, Brazil, Panama or Uruguay, please do continue with your current strategy. Everyone else is doing better. Constitutions change all the time. So what?

        Every other nation in the developed world has figured this problem out. It is not rocket science. We need fewer guns and fewer gun owners. That kid had no business owning an AR-15.

        Christ even when i lived in Mexico I never feared getting gunned down in my school, kinda laughable that in the US you can buy an assault rifle at 18 but not beer.

        So you're saying we should ban AR-15's? No, we shouldn't. Gun control is a sham. People will get guns no matter what, gun control won't stop them, it'll only slow them down and make them angrier.

        According to http://statistas.com  In 69% of the mass shootings from 1982 to 2017 a handgun was the weapon of choice. Ban handguns?

        Bullsh*t. 👈🏼 And that’s from a former AR15 owner and former NRA lifetime member. As Superintendent Runcie said, if our generation doesn’t solve this, by eliminating these mass-shooting weapons, then the next will. 18 school shootings since 1/1/18. Enough is enough.

        Get fucking real......ban opioids that will save lives...wait...already illegal so there's a law that really works well. AR15 is a popular strawman because handguns cause most fatalities and most by suicide. If you want to "do something" harden every target.
