For anyone who tries to pull the canard that today’s shooting has nothing to do with gun control and was simply a mental health issue on the part of the shooter: the larger mental health issue is the greed and insanity of a nation that allows guns to be so easily accessible.

They never had real Democracy, you can't have slaves and exclude others (like women) if you want a Democracy. You also cannot have money, which was used by wealthy Athenians to bribe the poor to vote their way.

Roots of these mass shootings are in Neo-Liberal Capitalism and the psychoanalysis (aka brainwashing) which Capitalists have been using on the people to turn them into consumers. That is the mental illness part. And it wouldn't hurt to start discussing opening asylums again to

Part of the public’s right to keep and bear arms is that those arms are easily available. There’s no point to the second amendment if guns are not available to law abiding citizens. We need to bring back asylums for crazy people, very nice and comfortable ones.
Samuel, who are you speaking to?

Give me a government I can trust, then you may have my guns. A crazy man's actions doesn't take away my right to defend myself. No amount of dead children will change that. My child could have been killed and it wouldn't change my corrupt government. It wouldn't vanish criminals.
Yeah, that a-bomb is really something.

As long as we have a corrupt government, who spends trillions on wars\killing ppl abroad each yr, covert agencies, brutal police force. With increasing poor & lower wages, plus increasing surveillance state. Then giving up arms foe the poor is a danger itself

The insanity of a nation that sacrifices their future CEO’s, doctors, scientists, explorers, professors, inventors ….. these children…. for the right to bear assault rifles.
Replying to @marwilliamson
It does not matter what is the problem, what matter is that innocent children, teachers, workers and people are dying due the the rotten system that we have. It is clear that more weapons for the police does not contribute to anything, so we need to vote for a new healthy system.
