People choke on things too. It’s going to happen anyway so do nothing. Is this really your point?

I saw it, and it was brought up again after Santa Fe.
Chicago killings are mentioned, but I agree the coverage is not the same.
The gun ban folks have it wrong.
The do nothing folks have it wrong.
On the gun control side, NRA members are the key. They are okay with some solutions and don't have a problem with responsible gun ownership. Problem: NRA leadership isn't always in tune with their members.
On the people kill people side, if tech companies can collect data and target ads, they can help red flag potential crazies better. Problem: pesky privacy issues and tech leaders are more interested in making money. There was an executive order that made it harder for folks with mental health issues to get guns. For whatever reasons, it was rolled back. If the problem is a mental health issue, Congress could pass a law making it harder for folks with mental health issues to get guns. More money could also be allocated for mental health issues, but it's probably time to work on the recently ballooned deficit now.
Will doing something stop all future gun deaths? Nope. The goal is reducing gun deaths. Baby steps.
"Are you sure you saw what you saw?"
I don’t understand how racism has anything to do with this. I suppose some people feel any new gun regsmwould make them more vulnerable against the khaki invaders, but if I’m not mistaken, guns don’t care the ethnicity of their targets.
The Blind Leading The Blind......Cannot BELIEVE the 'Seguin, Tx. Church Shooting' hasn't been mentioned! That SICKO had a Mental Rap Sheet a MILE LONG!!! Especially while in YOUR Government's MILITARY!!! Your Government NEVER reported it to be acknowledged by the FBI's NICS SYSTEM!! A NEW LAW??!! FOR WHAT??? Its very OBVIOUS you Libs still DON"T GET IT as per what is required in a Background Check to purchase a Firearm. IF the LOCAL/STATE/FEDERAL Governments ARE NOT Forwarding the pertinent background on a person to THE NICS SYSTEM, etc, etc, etc....THEN HOW is a SICKO going to be BLOCKED?? The OTHER BIGGIE that NO ONE has mentioned in this 'Thread' is the FACT that this IDIOT at Sante Fe had a 'HANDGUN'. The IDIOT was UNDER 21,....THEREFORE, his Parents/Guardians ARE solely RESPONSIBLE for 'His Actions'!!!! If I'm not mistaken, IN EVERY ONE of these SICKO SHOOTINGS, there was ALREADY SUFFICIENT LE KNOWLEDGE, etc, making EVERY ONE OF THESE IDIOTS sufficiently SUSPECT to THE HILT,...PRIOR TO...the ACT!!
Get a DAMN LIFE and QUIT BLAMING ...'GUNS'!!!! JESUS!!!
Where in the Constitution does your right to keep and bear arms outrank the prohibition of murder? And
Lease don’t try and change the subject with some lame women’s health false equivalency.
If you are truly a law abiding citizen, then it would seem that capital murder would be first on our list of things to prevent.
The parents were at fault. But another 10 are dead. The solution can’t be “stop blaming guns.”
I’ve got a life, sir, and I’m aiming to keep it.

Shootings always stop when another gun shows up. 'Nuf sed.
