How Many Public Mass Murders Does it Take?
The title says it all and let's face it the problem is not going to be solved without a fight politically .
More current intensive background checks are coming for gun ownership!
As Being label here already here as a ban anti-gun liberal still does not change the facts of how long before either the system bans gun ownership or our society is coherent enough to have enough sense of responsibility to be morally correct with gun ownership?
Am I the only one here that cannot ignore the Elephant in the room? What happens when an irresistible force meets an unmovable object? the War of Northern Aggression maybe?

The wanton killing of other humans by ANY means, be it in America or anyplace in the world, is NOT a firearm issue.
The individuals that do such are of two classes:
1. Mentally deranged.
2. Just plain evil without morals.
And that include mass shootings in the US, other countries by 'governments', organized crime, drug cartels or years ago by the Nazi and others including the muslime islamic radicals....#1 & #2 apply.

Well it (The Weapon) gives the entity the power to kill more at one time however. This cannot be denied.

Gotta be the weakest attempt at justification ever.
How does your statement stand up to a nutcase in a school bus, cruising through a crowd?
Chinese knife-wielders stack up impressive numbers of victims WITHOUT guns.
The Tsarnaev bros shook the country with bombs made out of fireworks; where was the gun that you think is so evil?
Blaming the tool is the easy, progliblefty way out of a serious (D)-bag problem.
How many more are you planning to do ?
well, in Russia, Kalashnikov is a national hero...and his designed firearms have probably killed more in the world than any other type... but NOT by themselves
Well, some people just can't handle the responsibility of gun ownership so it's the old adage here.
I have a very strict gun control policy: if there's a gun around, I want to be in control of it.

In my opinion the under lying cause is that as a society we've lost our religion.
And no I'm not trying to sell you God.
What I want to focus on is a sense of community.
Call it whatever you like - a parish, a congregation, etc.
What you have is a group of people who bond together because they have a common belief - in this case it is America.
These bodies of 'parish' meet weekly and, beyond doing a little "God talking", look each other over noting whose happy, whose healthy, whose troubled, whose infirm, whose acting crazy, etc.
Know thy neighbor.
I can honestly say that at least once in my life I have suggested to a family member of someone who was acting & sounding alarmingly "to pull the bolt out of your relative's rifle".
So what is the core issue - the weapon, or the person whose alarming actions go ignored and unchecked ?
People we need to bond together again.
Let's take a few steps back and take another look at what is going on here.
In my opinion the under lying cause is that as a society we've lost our religion.
And no I'm not trying to sell you God.
We lost our faith not religion and some leaders in our churches were hypocrites.
Now the government is our new quasi-religion.Unisex,equality,same-sex marriage and gender neutral if you think your are and no pronouns that identify something as a male unless for law enforcement purposes!

Yeah. some people are Democrats they kill people. When mass shootings kill as many people as totalitarian governments did then I might consider more gun control. And-- when the government stops spying on innocent American citizens. Meanwhile let the swamp drain.
I agree with you but the government here is never going to stop eavesdropping on every citizen. And they are going to outlaw guns anyway this time around I suspect after a mass murdering of innocent victims eventually.
However, if you resist then you are no longer innocent for they are the law of the land and they have already made you a slave with The Federal Reserve system anyway, THEY DO NOT FOLLOW THE CONSTITUTION OR BILL OF RIGHTS they just skate around it with new interpretations!
Like happy marriage! Marriage has always been between a man and woman and legal abortions are murder! What makes you think your right to bear arms is so special?
And with total awareness of the police state, you will be a sitting duck when they come for you with your small arms after you have broken the law with an attempt overthrow of the government.
You can win if your losing and the deck is stacked against you like it has never been before. The War with Britain for independence was in another time and place!

First they came for the communists, and I did not speak out?
Because I was not a communist.
Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out?
Because I was not a Trade Unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out?
Because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me?and there was no one left to speak for me.
