It has to be something more painful than stoning or hanging and has to be on tv, Youtube and all other media.

The perpetrators have to have fear instilled in them. Don't like what you saw; don't do the crime.

Sensible gun control would be a good start.

What exactly would that do? I'm genuinely asking. If a crazy person wants a gun, he'll get a gun. Writing a law on a piece of paper isn't going to change that

Yes that’s exactly what I’m saying you should do. Part of living a well rounded life.

Charlie did that and they killed him. Reddit and Democrat Underground are cheering today.


Dialogue isn’t what got him killed, a singular wacko is all it takes to snuff anyone out unfortunately. If you wanna reference other recent news the events in Tulsa and Charlotte should tell you that too.

That’s the left base. There is no reasoning with them. The solution to coexisting doesn’t exist


Once again you’re forcing yourself to have this opinion without the actual attempt at trying. And in doing so you’re doing exactly what you’re accusing the left of doing.

Nationwide universal background checks, longer mandatory waiting periods, and denying access to weapons for people who have a history of mental illness, these would all help.

Do you think any of those would have stopped the shooting today?

Which major shooting do you think these would have prevented?

You really are immune to logic and facts. I feel for you. I can only assume you are a liberal. I pray you find the Lord and see the light.

It could have, we’ll never know though. There have been multiple shootings where the suspects have had a history of mental illness. Any of these measurements could have deterred them, or at least raised more red flags where the police could have intervened before something happened.

Again, we will never know because the NRA is too busy lobbying against any sort of legislation.

Says the person that can’t see a way to deal with someone because they feel like the other side is too authoritarian and can’t be dealt with. So to combat that you want to do something that is authoritarian and removes all naysayers??

Make it make sense. Also please feel free to provide any information that you’ve presented that is based in fact and not subjective feeling and thought.

So you think ANY mental illness?

The last major event with a legit mental illness was the stabbing in Charlotte.

I don't know if any of the major ones had anything worse than BPD. Do you think that BPD should disqualify a person from exercising a fundamental right? Can we revoke their voting ability, too?

You wound have to take away their ability to do heinous things

That requires either bring back the insane asylum or take away their guns

The left hates the former and the right hates the latter

You can’t reason with a side that ignores all facts and logic. Liberals cannot even define a woman Truth to them is relative.

Once again, asking if you can provide and facts or logic that would justify your desire. Quite literally only one person here is dodging facts.

Partisan-polarization is a threat, yet.
