28 dead, including 20 children, in school shooting

[communicate 2,703]

This happens all the time when there are deaths with guns, they wont change the main law, as it was made legal to have your own gun.

Rewriting it would cause havoc, can't see them doing it to be honest.

Like I said before, it is written in their constitution the right to bear firearm. it is going really difficult to outlaw gun in US

First of all i'll just state how depressing it is to see those young kids killed. My heart goes out to those families who lost the joy of their lives, and survivors that may be in shock after witnessing that traumatic event. In all honesty these shootings have become out of control, and im in fear of all the copycats out there.

-congresswoman (Gabby Giffords)

-One at the movie theater during Batman Premiere

-believe it was in wisconsin (not sure) that killed people in the temple

-one in a mall last week

- there was that one in Sweden

-and then this one.

far too many lives been lost.

im not in the mood to discuss the gun laws because frankly its something that i feel will never change. Most of these people that do these mindless acts are medically labeled as 'insane' and its worrying that how their not being treated before they commit these acts.

People wonder 'why?' 'whats the motive?' but unless you've been inside the heads of these people you and I will never understand.

The constitution was written at a time when guns weren't as widespread and dangerous as they are now. They used bullets far less lethal than contemporary ones, there were no machine guns. It was a time when people had to protect themselves from outside aggressors (they had just overcome their colonizers in a revolution), it was an unstable time when protection was necessary as proved by the subsequent civil war.

Times have changed since then, at least this part of the consitution is severely outdated and its effects have tragic consequences nowadays. If the fathers of the constitution were alive today, they would commit suicide if they learned how bad it's become. I don't doubt they had their best intentions when they wrote that, it's just that at that time people didn't have a clue what the world would become like more than 200 years later.

To be honest, I have never tried to understand most of these guys motives, there must be something wrong with the person if he want to commit mass murder.

I am more concerned that all of them were using guns and they either bought the gun by himself or stole it from their parents/relatives.

So all/most of them were using Legal gun. I understand that it's impossible to outlaw gun in US but there must be a way to make it super difficult for this kind of people to get guns.

Many Americans have a religious view of the constitution. As if the founding fathers were prophets rather than smart but flawed men. (And all of them were white men). There is no need for anyone to have an assault rifle. There is no need for people to walk around with concealed weapons. It's madness.

@communicate-absolutely. The media is so complicit in this nonsense. The discussion is almost always "how can this happen" in a moral sense and they focus on mental illness (the lack of public funding for this also doesn't help). That's not the real issue. You can never stop people from snapping and wanting to kill lots of people. You can, however, stop people from getting guns so that when they do snap, their ability to commit violence is severely limited.

I don't own a gun and probably never will...but I don't think it's right to blame guns for this massacre.

It's the motive that drives the man to commit such an act which is worrying...

Maybe the government is testing some sort of drug on random people to see how enraged they would be and how they would react with a weapon.

Maybe the man woke up on the wrong side of the bed.

Maybe the waitress brought him his eggs scrambled instead of sunny side up.

It's the motive that scares me not the guns... I drive a weapon everyday, but I don't kill people.

It doesn't matter as Americans standby there laws.

What? I didn't understand what you wanted to say.

[Kojo 4,676]

What I'm saying is, you can say yeah it was made years ago when this was like this and that but they aren't going to change it because of that. They standby what they written.

I'm not saying i disagree or agree with it or anything.
