I love this arguement. You telling me the Las Vegas massacre could have been carried out with a knife?

It's a shame people are even having to debate guns.

This is the 22nd school shooting this year alone? Forget the tool and prevent or limit the result of the acts.

That's awful. Forget all the gun stats and continue finding solutions to making these schools safer. I don't have the answers.

Just another excuse used my mental midgets who can't see the forest for the trees. It's comical that some people think that way. When I was in high school, we had guns in our vehicles, no school shootings though. I wonder why? Probably because we were raised to respect things that are not respected now.

Okay let's ban guns then revise your statement here.

My point is that of all the tools you can use to commit mass murder, the tool of choice in the US is knives. Why knives? Well, because they're really good at their job and they're not hard to find/get.

Are you purposely being obtuse so that someone says, “they don’t have the availability of guns that we do”?

ohh, i agree with you and TH03. it's absolutely a overall mixture of several issues that need to be addressed country wide: anti-depressants, fatherless homes, lack of parenting, over saturation of social media, etc, etc.

i'm mainly going off on this one specific factor because some were saying we can't act like mental health and the rise of depression across the world is as a big of a factor as the amount of guns in this country.

Ahh the moving argument. Now you are talking about amendments, which isn’t the same as the unconstitutional restrictions you were proposing.

Random warrantless searches by police within a certain radius of a school would be more effective than your antigun plan. Why don’t you support that? It is just as Constitionally sound as your proposal.

You can destroy someone’s life, get them fired, harass their family members, etc., all with one tweet.

We see it a lot.

So answer the question. Why are people in other developed countries, who all have access to social media, not pulling off so many mass shootings?

Experts say the recent uptick in mass shootings is likely due to the amount of attention the attacks receive and the fixation on the people behind them
