Guns are the Pandora's Box. It has been opened, and no amount of regulation will close it again for many years. With several hundred million guns around the US, a complete ban will likely not make much of a dent in supplies. This is regardless of whether firearms are good for society or not.I've about had enough of these. It's a pathetic statement about our country when this is now the norm.
To quote John Oliver
"One failed attempt at a shoe bomb and we all take off our shoes at the airport. Thirty-one school shootings since Columbine and no change in our regulation of guns."
Police: Injuries reported in Oregon high school shooting

We need to wake up, realize something needs to be done, and fucking do it.
These gun nutters obsessions need to take a back seat to common sense once and for all
The only action that needs to be taken is remove the "gun free zones". They are simply murder friendly zones.
<snip> I'm starting to think there is just NO solution to this. A point comes when we may have to admit that we're just screwed. If nothing has changed after so many tragedies, then what can realistically be expected to change in the foreseeable future?
Considering he only shot one other student, this can barely even be lumped in with the typical, scary type of school shooting. Just completely pulling a guess out of my ass, I'd imagine that at least dozens of students are individually murdered by other students off of school grounds ever year.
I don't necessarily think its the guns. Why people are wanting to kill numerous strangers needs to be examined in closer detail. Dismissing them as crazies to focus on the guns is extremely easy and gets us no where. A guy doesn't one day wake up looking to murder people. Obviously they have exhausted all forms of help and end up wanting to take out as many as possible before killing themselves. Society has completely failed them at that point. I believe part of it has to do with a less social society and more introverted people.

Fist gun laws need to be federalized. Its stupid to have a place where I can go across a state line and buy a gun even if I were a felon.
Secondly ban all assault rifles (again idiots)
Back ground checks for all - Even at gun shows. 93 percent of americans are for this, even the NRA was until the black man came.
No more open carry especially in stores or in city limits checks. And no open carry on existing Assault riffles.
Rules on CC. I think most states that have them are probably sufficient.
Offer huge paybacks on gun returns.
I dont care if a couple thousand yahoos get upset, we had rules, we are a civilized nation if you want to go play with your guns go somewhere else, love it or leave it.

lol, most of that has nothing to do with preventing school shootings. How many school shooters do their business by open-carrying "assault rifles"?
One less worthless gun owner... too bad he took someone else's child with him. :'(
It was almost certainly a teenager who didn't own the gun he was using. That's the usual pattern.One less worthless gun owner... too bad he took someone else's child with him. :'(
