    Don't care

    If it is capable of killing lots of people before your good guy with a gun gets there then it should not be available to the public

    You cannot hunt migratory game birds with a shotgun that can hold more than three shells

    However if Killing Children you can use whatever means for Maximum Deaths................... This is so wrong !!

    And we're getting down to the bits of truth here, nothing but a total gun ban will satisfy your goal?

    It would be nice if the FBI did its job once in a while. They were given info on a silver platter about Cruz and they did nothing. They were busy burying a solid case against Hillary and building a bogus case against Trump.

    I'm all for keeping guns from people with mental issues. Would the ACLU be on board with that? Will they defend the mentally impaired against an "impingement on their rights"?

    Doesn't anyone think it's odd that we protect the president with guns? Protect entertainers and politician with guns. Protect banks with guns. Protect state and federal buildings, courthouses, etc with guns. Yet we protect schools with a 'Gun Free Zone' sign.

    I went to the Fox site (since you didn't provide a link to what you were talking about...?). I tried to search for things like "NRA money laundering", "NRA helps Russia".... Didn't find a thing. Got anything?

    Anyway, everybody's big 'rage' notwithstanding, though, the Left can try to make 'guns' the villains in this whole thing, but, guns don't pick their targets or pull their own triggers. Big surprise, huh...? :confuse:

    Hint: if by some miracle, somebody at the FBI had intercepted this Cruz monster before he murdered all those people, they would surely have used a ... (dare I say it) ... GUN to force him to surrender. Or, they could have done us all a big favor and simply put two in the chest and one in the head, like they were taught back in just about any American police academy....

    Florida is one of the states where any type of gun control is not going to happen, certainly in the foreseeable future. If anything there will be fewer limits on guns in the future. So it does not really matter if these protest occur or not. There is nothing to stop these attacks, this is the second one in two years, except pray they don't occur again.

    The so-called "gun show loophole," through which people can purchase firearms without background checks through private sales and gun shows, is similarly non-controversial. Surveys show 84% of US adults — including 77% of gun owners and 87% of non-gun owners — believe the loophole should be closed.

    Another 83% of American adults believe people on the FBI's no-fly list should be blocked from buying guns. But civil liberties groups have decried previous attempts to push such legislation through Congress, arguing the no-fly list is arbitrary, frequently inaccurate, and discriminatory against Muslim-Americans.

    In general, 55% of Americans want gun laws to be more strict, 10% say they should be less strict, and 34% want to keep them as they are now. It remains to be seen if those numbers will go up after another deadly mass shooting.

    Polls have little to do with the constitution or understanding the law much less the actual issue.

    If I am willing to kill you and anyone else and screw the consequences of what may happen, how are you going to stop that? You really can't

    2) If I am declared mental incompetent, that means I can't legally buy a gun. So that means I'll do a straw purchase or steal one. How you going to stop that?

    3) You can't pass unilaterally gun control due to the 2nd amendment, SCOUS will shoot it down and/or congress will be replaced with people who will shoot it down/replace it

    And there is nothing you will be able to do to stop the gun show loophole or private sells.

    Your opinions are noted, but I'm merely stating the fact that a majority of Americans, including these survivors/victims, are for common sense gun restrictions.

    Parkland, a mostly white and wealthy city, isn't the inner city of Chicago. WHats to gain from reporting more black or Hispanic gangs killed each other again last night. Been going on for decades.

    The Constitution isn't a problem.

    These nutters are free to voice their stupidity about guns, Republicans, and the NRA.

    The media that brainwashes these nutters is free to cover it.

    I'm free to go out and buy another gun.

    The Constitution demands, provides, and safeguards these freedoms and more.

    You cant pick apart one without unraveling them all.

    There are some interesting optics in hyper-coverage of these events by leftist media and a total blind-eye on coverage of the daily slaughter in urban areas.

    One of them is "White Lives Matter More".

    Either white lives matter more or reporting how bad it is in black neighborhoods night after night, is not the kind of message they want to tell the US public. Making it appear that every majority white school needs to live in fear, sells better than how bad it is in the ghettos.

    I'm not at all concerned what the NRA gun nuts online say, there is momentum building as a backlash. This incident may be the straw that broke the camels back.

    What does "gun show loophole" mean to you? Would you define it for me as I don't think it means what you think it means.

    I've seen what some lefties consider "common sense". Let's just say that it has a different meaning to different people.

    Has the viewpoint of the teacher of the year been posted yet?
