I agree 100%.

Lost one of my best friends in 2011, Shelby, and read about it first here on this site.

No excuses, this stuff is unacceptable. Too many guns, too much killing.

If you think gun control is too political, wait til somebody you know is shot. Then ask yourself would you rather have a gun or your friend back.

I'm with HB and Payton on this one. Downvote, ban, delete the post.. I dont care... too many excuses from people. Shooting a member of the Saints Super Bowl team in the Garden District... what will it take till people understand its a problem.

I and everyone I know have every means necessary to access a legal gun. We need to start looking reasonably at these gun shows and other avenues that are proliferating distribution.

Problem is, every time anyone suggests anything, the redneck right comes out blasting about their constitutional right to buy a gun wherever and whenever.

Capacity limitations don't work, and I am not for outlawing assault rifles, but it is sad that we cannot put more stringent guidelines in place for how one legally accesses these weapons. Yes, people will always be able to get a gun if they really want to, but getting rid of these free for all gun shows and increasing background checks and/or waiting periods is not limiting people's rights, IMO.

We have gun laws now and a lot of the Federal laws are not enforced at all. Hayes is a convicted felon and the gun control laws we have now did nothing to stop him from getting a gun.

Chicago has some very strict gun laws in place and that hasn't stopped the violence at all.


This country has always had a lot of guns owned by many people. People want to blame guns for the problems we are having but we have a heart problem in this country not a gun problem. Guns just make it easier to hurt others, but the cause of the problems is in the heart.

Fix the heart, fix the problem.
