^^^ This.

Sandy Hook was the test and America failed. The crying President was proved powerless.
The Americans live in a (self described perfect) democracy, where the elected represent the will of the people.
They have chosen to live this way.

After Sandy Hook, the American public accepted that it was ok to shoot schoolchildren. Don’t expect any change of laws with Vegas or this school shooting, it barely moves the needle nowadays. Love him or hate him, Micheal Moore tried to warn people about this getting worse and Americans didn’t listen.

If I had children in a US school, I’d have pulled them out and moved elsewhere where reasonable gun laws exist.

The tragedy of mass shootings is becoming the same as a tornado: do the drill, hide under the desk and hope for the best. It’s now just a fact of life in the US that mass shootings are treated like any other natural disaster.

Bloody shame. Where are all the “good guys” with guns the NRA keep saying is the best method to stop these?
Another ignorant anti gun advocate commenting on a subject he knows barely anything about, but opposes because it feels good to jump on the bandwagon. Facts be damned.

Schools are gun free zones by act of Congress. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gun-Free_School_Zones_Act_of_1990

Given that gun owners with concealed carry permits are one of the most law abiding groups in America (a conviction rate that is a sixth the conviction rate of police officers) and 14 times less likely to commit a crime than the population, the "good guys" OBEY the law and DON'T carry in schools or around schools.

If every student had a gun, this wouldn't have happened.
Agree. More guns means less violence, the same as more cars on the 401 will mean less traffic.

I saw a pic of him on twitter he looks cold. Was wearing some sort of Communist shirt. Possibly with ties to ANTIFA. Apparently many knew he was capable of such an act yet nobody took action. This tragedy could have been prevented.
Don't you look pretty smart. He loved wearing his MAGA hat.

Not even close. Heard of gerrymandering? Voter suppresion? In some states dems won 60+% of popular vote but claimed 25% of those house seats. Hillary won popular vote by 3MM. With 2020 census coming up, this is the dems last chance to pull out majorities so they can redistrict to a more level playing field.

I can't wait until Drumpf is impeached and causes a civil war. I'm all about volunteering to curb stomp some some right wing white trash

You do realize numerous democrats are opposed to gun control as well.

Even Bernie Sanders has the support of the NRA. Look it up.

It's an American culture thing. Not a political party thing.

Of course the fact......

He lost his father at a young age.....
Lost his mom to pneumonia one year ago....
Has no other family who would take him in.....
Previous discipline issues at two schools......
Social issues probably from mental illness, Aspergers perhaps because he did well academically......
Also at the age where worse mental can manifest....
Easy access to guns in the home......

But the hat.....well that's the biggest contributing factor in this.....

That MAGA hat pic allegedly comes from a 2nd instagram he is repororted to have, but thats unconfirmed so far (even though heavy.com says its confirmed). These pics are from his confirmed IG account:


Okay so it's fake for now....until it's not.
