    I won't shut up, just ignore me. I am angry that young children are now dead because we never talk about this. This is the first time I have brought up gun control in any forum, but it effected me in such a way that I felt it's now way past time to bring up the subject and I feel we need to talk...

    That doesn't mean gun shows are a safe place to be. That means the crazies are sane enough to realize the gun nuts will put a zillion holes in them if they even try.....lol. Maybe we should start having gun shows in our schools to keep our kids safe. SOmehow, that seems to be an odd solution.

    Law preventing people from purchasing thousands of rounds of amo would have stopped the Aurora shooter. On another note, I realize we can't stop all gun violence, but that is no reason to stop trying. We can and do stop some terrorist plots, so why can't we stop some gun violence? We don't have...

    No, people talk about how liberals want to ban guns and conservatives want to arm everyone. No one really talks about solutions to our problems. We need to have a real conversation about how to solve the problem of gun violence in this country. The first step is admitting we have one, the second...

    I agree with you 100%. We need to improve our background checks by including a mental test. We require police officers to pass a mental evaluation before we give them guns. I am not against gun ownership of responsible citizens. The key is to determine who is responsibie enough to own a deadly...

    See, that's the problem. We don't talk about it before the tradedies, we don't talk about it during the tragedies, we don't talk about it after the tragedies. It's not a political issue. It is a problem that needs to be solved to prevent the next tragedy. I think its more disrespectful of the...

    Sadly, the gunnies are unwilling to see the problem. The only time they will realize the futility of their position is if or when their own children are killed in gun violence.

    There is no reason for a citizen to have weapons designed to kill in mass. Me saying this does not mean I think people should only be able to have muzzle loaded guns. I have no problem with sane law abiding citizens having hand guns, rifles, and or shot guns for protection or hunting. I do have...

    When is the time? If we don't do something soon, this will continue to happen. Sense Columbine, we have laxed our gun laws. That has only cost more innocent lives and we are no where near finding a solution for the problem. The reason we are no where near finding a solution for the problem is...

    Providing healthcare for our citizens doesn't have to be a right. However, it does provide for the general wealfare of the public, which is constitutional. Our society can and will benefit from providing healthcare because a healthy society is good for everyone. There are many situations where...

    We do allow people to deend themselves. People can purchase simi automatic weapons and thousands of rounds of amo on line. We have hardly no gun control laws as it is now. Allowing people to defend themselves by owning weapons hasn't solved the problem. Obviously, your solution hasn't been working.

    That situation was chaos. There probably would have been more innocent lives lost because someone who isn't trained to deal with a situation where one gunman is mowing people down with a simi automatic weapon could accidentally kill innocent people while trying to take down the gunman. I worked...

    I am not talking about an all out ban on guns. I am talking about gun control. I am not dillusional in thinking that it will prevent all gun crimes, but when a man can order thousands of rounds of amo on line and multiple simi atuo riffles and enter a movie theater and kill in mass in just a few...

    Instead of claiming the shooter was evil, lets take a look at the shooters mental state. Perhaps if we had already had health care implemented, the sick individual who took these inocent lives would have gotten the mental health care he obviously needed and that would have prevented such a...

    When is the right time to talk about gun control? It's an honest question. Can you answer that? We have got to talk about it sometime, and it has to be before this happens again and again. How many innocent lives have to be lost before we start the conversation? I wish we had talked about it and...
