In fact, 2nd amendment people fought tooth and nail for actual criminals to get their guns back after completion of time served for crimes with the SCOTUS finally stepping in and saying lets be reasonable here.

It seems odd that the very same people truly and honestly and earnestly want to take guns away pre-emptively from non-criminals.
The justices let stand a lower court’s ruling that uniformly denying felons whose crimes were not serious the right to own guns violated the U.S. Constitution’s Second Amendment, which protects the right to “keep and bear arms.”
Trump has strongly embraced the National Rifle Association but his administration in this case was on the same side as gun rights advocates including the Brady Center to Prevent Gun Violence.
The administration added that too many felons whose gun ownership rights were restored for various reasons have gone on to commit violent crimes.

I wasn’t aware CNN killed anyone, link?
School shooters....Columbine, Sandy Hook, etc. Any of the ones that got media coverage.Who was cruz copying? I missed that link? Was their a particular shooter he liked?
You are not aware of the copy cat syndrome? Look it up.I wasn’t aware CNN killed anyone, link?
You are free to get rid of yours, and do you want to be the guy going around trying to round up every military type weapon in the US, good luck.Stop thinking ahead damn you! I can't believe how little this is mentioned in all these discussions.
What happens for youth sports? Talk about soft targets. Churches, malls, libraries, medical center.
Lets try getting rid of military weapons before we militarize our society.
We’ve had cable tv for a long time, school shootings really ramped up this year, this year is an outlier or worse.Come on man. It's known that these kids seek imfamy and more news coverage does that. How many copy carts did we hear about being stopped after this?
Coverage like we have does make things worse. If you want to argue that it's something we have to accept fine, but it's not neutral.

So news made it jump to what, 8 in as many weeks? But only this year? This year the news coverage helped cause it, but not other years? OkHow do you think that proves anything? Eating a cheeseburger is not a problem unless you already are obese. Sometimes things are fine, until things are bad then they make things worse.
Do you feel the legislature let them down as well?Its pretty clear that everyone in the "chain of command" failed to do a damn thing. Utter failure on every level, local, state, and federal. Really just pathetic. I hope at least it is a learning experience to help to prevent future acts like this. Over correcting is a problem too, square root is a gun now? Really?
The anti-gun nutters don't help their argument a lot of the time. AK47 stands for automatic killer, that fires 47 rounds per trigger pull? Chainsaw bayonet on a AR-15? Rifle shoots 3x the speed of a pistol? Pistol shots are like a knife wound? Easier to buy an AR15 than cold medicine? I mean wtf are these people thinking? Killing your argument with ignorance and lies. Seriously, chainsaw bayonet? This is from USA Today... supposedly a major news outlet. Hard to view them as credible at anything after that.
If these deputies did just not go in because they were scared, I can't even express how upset I am about that. Everyone has a fight or flight, and I have seen in first hand. Band of Brothers shows it pretty clearly too. If they were not given an order, did not have some protocol to do that, then it makes me sick. I don't understand how you couldn't break any rule to go in and try to save kids. Some people have it in them, some don't. If they just didn't feel like it, fired and maybe even in legal trouble from families. You either got it, or you don't.

The law makes it harder to take away his guns, they have the most lenient gun laws, they’re known as the test bed NRA state. I wasn’t referring to bans.If you're asking if I support a ban of an AR15, no I do not. If you're asking if there should have been something done for this particular person buying a gun, then I would say yes. I don't know when he bought it, it is pretty obvious he had issues for years. I'm not sure how we fix the issue to where he shouldn't have been allowed to own a weapon of any kid after his repeated run ins with the law, and making very specific threats to the school. Somewhere along the line there needs to be information shared like this. I am not sure exactly what you are asking.
I understand it fine, I don’t buy into that it caused that drastic of a change in one year, two months if you want to get picky..How do you not understand that? We know many of the shooters are looking for attention and infamy, so how does news not give them that? Of course news helped cause things before this year.
By your logic, mass shootings are new to American society. What makes guns a problem now but not in the past? The answer is simple, things changed, that's why.

What better way to get rid of public schools, a few high dollar lawsuits and the state is out of money.Got a question....who is paying for the liability insurance to cover the teachers who are armed and could potentially shoot an innocent by accident? Can't imagine that'd be cheap.
And do we completely indemnify the armed teachers from lawsuits filed for accidental shootings/deaths?

Some of these are in fact accurate, so I have no idea why you're saying it's in nutter territory. Centerfire rifle cartridges are much faster and do significantly more damage (i.e. ~3 times or more energy to dump). Never mind this Cruz kid shows yet again how so many unstable people are easily able to get semi-autos.
You think my solution to gun deaths is to remove signs? Your is not am the smart.

Energy does not equal speed. Its a blatant lie. As I said, this does not help the anti gun nutter crowd. Feel free to read my post where I said I did not support him owning a weapon.
