My sister was actually at a concert at the same venue in vegas on Saturday night. The night before. So close.
My other sister lives in vegas currently.

There are several people at work and at church affected by this. A couple in our ward's son was at the venue the night of the shooting, helped carry bodies off the field. A guy at work's cousin or something was killed. We have at least 3 people at work connected in some way to people killed at the venue. Being this close to Vegas it raises the odds we know someone who knows someone who was affected in some way.
 
I bet if we legalized any and every weapon out there, machine guns, bazookas, nerve gas, nuclear weapons, etc our society will be much safer. Right? Besides, any regulation of guns is an infringement upon freedom and the 2nd amendment and god. Right?
 
Question, if Donald proposed sensible gun regulation, think he could pass it? He would probably receive support from most democrats. All he'd need is just half of the members from his own party to sign on.

We all know Donald won't propose something like this. Such a move would require a sense of morality and courage, both qualities which Donald lacks the most. But if he did, he honestly could get it to pass. It would be his first significant piece of legislation!

Over 90 percent of Americans support sensible gun regulation, reforms which failed under the Obama administration after Sandy Hook because the GOP was still concentrating on obstructing everything a black democrat wanted.

The technicalities are important. To looo over them is foolish.

The idea that all a person uses a gun for is self defense is ignorant. That you can't or won't realize that makes this a difficult conversation to have.

Admitting that you have a problem is a first step in fixing it.Seriously, you need some professional help ( not only you but most of gun taunting americans)

No sane person would need this at his house for any reasons... not for hunting, not for self defense, not for sport... No modern country would allow to sell it,
yet you like talking about technicalities of the guns more than about how some simple law could save multiple lives.

Some people (like myself) have fun shooting clay pigeons (I forget their technical name. Maybe skeets?), and practice targets. And other people (my dad and brothers included) enjoy hunting.

Man I enjoy doing fat lines of coke off loose women, (Its always good to have a plan for your evening) but it doesn't mean it should be legal or i should have a right to do it. I think you've got to ask yourselves what is the place for firearms in your society? Its already a society that misuses what are tools of death at an incredible rate.

Coke and Hookers should not be illegal either and I think you should have a right to do both assuming the latter is consenting.

This.

Sadly, America has a surplus of stupid, poorly informed, Fox News and am radio addicted cultists who think they’re smart and in the majority when in reality they’re the minority. Sadly, their puppet masters are some of
The richest men in America. Preventing Americans from coming to a consensus on every issue, guns, gay righte, poverty, etc prevents American workers from unionizing and joining to overthrow the oligarchy.

I mean seriously, who from the 99 percent will benefit from Donald’s tax plan? Yet millions of pro gun republicans will. They just don’t understand that they’re voting against their own interests. Lambs to the slaughter.

You have major cities in New Zealand? Everything closes in Auckland at 5pm!

It's funny you say that, because while I was in LA last month one of my biggest shocks was that all the bars close at 2am. How are you supposed to maintain a solid drinking culture like that?

Typical of these Americans really, more interested in shooting each other than having a good time together.
