The simple answer is to lock up anyone who is as crazy looking as this fuck was.

Once again the gun nuts make their awesome arguments about how people die all the time so we should just not make any effort to keep these things from happening.

Maybe you should move this "hot take" to the fucking CR.

Bunch of little amateur Wayne LaPierres running around parroting NRA talking points. 

The only thing that can stop a bad guy with a hammer is a good guy with a hammer or, barring that, a guy who is really good with a set of needle nose pliers.  

Line mans pliers are better.

This is the only way but it will hurt some feelings and still won’t stop everything.

I live amongst cringe-inducing idiots.

or the idea that you can't stop anything so why bother

no one says you can stop anyone with mental illness issues. the idea is to accept wanting to lower the instances of these occurrences by understanding its a mental health problem and an 'easy access' to guns problem. And actively working on both so we can trend down here. 

anyone still refusing to work within these very simple bounds is a fucking selfish prick.

Every argument against some measure of gun control is equally applicable to wearing seatbelts, researching treatments for cancer, etc.  Some people will STILL die in car wrecks, so why infringe on them by requiring seatbelts?  Some people with STILL die from cancer, so why use any of my tax dollars to research treatments?

Can you solve a problem 100% with measure X? If "no," then measure X should be rejected.  That's the logic we see here.  Which, of course, is no logic at all.

So, the wheel will keep turning, nothing will change.  Just hope it's not your day to have a laser dot sight on your chest.  Maybe a prayer, too -- those seem to be a good strategy.

After every shooting this exact thread happens. The same arguments are made. Nothing will change. Between lobbies and idiots, this country is firmly stuck in the mud.

Well, the people who got killed won't respawn but let's not let that get in the way of a cutesy slogan and hashtag!

It’s hardcore search and destroy.

At least the AK 48 is banned in the USA. Not in Canada though and it carries one more bullet. 

It’s always easier to blame to big bad NRA than focus on the mental health aspect and you idiots keep wondering why it keeps happening.

In part because the NRA has strongly resisted / actively lobbied against laws to remove guns from the possession of people with mental illnesses.  They are actively working in Florida to remove the laws passed after MSD that allow law enforcement to take weapons from unstable individuals...

And America isn't the only country in the world with mental health issues

No, it isn’t. But I bet America prescribes SSRIs to people younger than 24 more often.
