....that allowed guns everywhere. This would never happen in a society like that. An armed society is a polite society.

I wonder if there is a gun we could sell to pregnant woman haters, i.e. anti abortion people, that they could somehow surgically impant to the fetus so he could fight off the abortion doctor and anybody else

be shocked at any of these mass shootings anymore. Feeling grief that anyone dies, feeling grief if you know someone killed or wounded, but for the vast majority of us who aren't so connected, this is just wallpaper. It happens so frequently as to hardly matter anymore.

And from comments made by the husband of the woman whose toddler reached into her purse while they were in a store, pulled out the gun inside and killed her, the true NRA idiots sincerely believe this is a reasonable price to pay, so there is almost no hope of getting sensible gun control laws in place so long as the NRA and its minions make all lawmakers totally terrified of losing an election if they don't go along with no gun control at all. Which is what we really have. What restrictions are in place are meaningless.

I've said it before and I'll say it again: we need to take guns away from people.

I know many here disagree with me. But I stand by that statement.

Unlike other countries, the status as a right in the USA would cause some to fight it out, potentially to the death.

there wouldn't be guns out there for incidents like the one in this thread. Look on the positive!

Police say at least seven people were shot in the street and in one of the houses. The seven people range in age from toddlers to adults.

“Some of those are siblings, so some (of) these (people) are related. We just don't know who is who right now,” Copeland said.
