    Don’t lump me in with the trumptards. I voted Harris. I’m just stating facts.

    I have no doubt “the good christian” parents would have passed any gun laws or background checks you could throw at them.

    That little girl needed better parenting, mental healthcare and to not find a gun laying around.

    What new enforceable law could have prevented this?

      Guns are harder to buy = fewer guns sold = fewer guns made = fewer guns available for psychopaths, it’s really not hard at all

      You assuming these people would get around a background check based on absolutely nothing is not the rock-solid argument you think it is and it’s certainly not justification to continue to do nothing to stop people slaughtering toddlers.

      it’s astounding to me, that there are still people well aware that there are many many countries without a severe constant school shooting problem because of gun control laws, and it’s still basically “we’ve tried nothing, and we’re all out of ideas!!!”

        I believe america’s problem is that people are miserable. Sure if we didn’t have millions of guns all over the country of would help. But we do have millions of guns all over the country, right now, today. The cat’s out of the bag. Even if we stopped all sales and manufacturing of guns right now, there are still millions of guns all over the country.

        So I think the best avenue now is to focus on mental health and making this country not a be hellscape that a large percentage of people hates living in. Happy kids don’t shoot up schools.
