    You guys are arguing over policies. Remember that people died. This is real shit. I spent 3 years of my life going to the exact building that the shooting happened in. I have friends and family that still go to school there. I have spent my day texting them and trying to find out if anyone I know and love has been a victim. Let's not make this about politics right now. This just hits way too close to home for me. Give it some time before this turns into some dumb political argument.

    ...do you think that it will magically be harder for so-called crazy people to get a gun if they really wanted one? If you're intentions for using a gun are evil/against the law, then why would you even attempt to obtain a gun legally by the "rules" in the first place (however strict they may be)? Seems to me that blue32 was onto something regarding mental health!

    Well it all started when Obama used this tragedy for his pursuit to ban guns.

    I stated the majority came from out of state. Feel free to look it up. And a vast majority of the rest come from outside of Chicago city limits, where the law changes. What it shows is criminals going to the easiest place possible to find guns. But shows they're not as a whole getting them in chicago, with their strict gun laws. So if the entire state, and surrounding states had similar laws as Chicago, it has the potential for making it even that much more difficult for them to obtain these guns, since they're not being sold right next door.

    People make it into a political argument within seconds of hearing about it. I understand you're upset, and I feel horrible that this happened, but this is a discussion forum. If we didn't discuss the who, the what, the where, the when, and the why, what else would we discuss? The thread would say, "shooting at Umpqua CC" and then there would be a handful of posts saying that it was a tragic event and that would be it. We come here to vent, to discuss the issues, and to find out information. I apologize if it sounds crass, or cold, but that's what we do here. We talk politics. We talk current events.

    The state of Louisiana arguably has the nation's weakest regulations when it comes to gun ownership, yet they consistently have the highest rates of gun violence/murders per capita than any other state.

    No, it all started when you brought your politics into a thread that allows us to express our grief, sadness and outrage. Obama had ABSOLUTELY NOTHING WHATSOEVER TO DO WITH IT!!!! Christ Mags, next we'll hear about how Trump would have stopped the massacre before it started. It's a tragedy and all the political posturing in the world isn't going to erase it. It's what we do next that counts.

    If you support felons not being able to own guns then you support some gun control and some people being banned from owning them. This odd hysteria that Obama is suddenly going to take everyone's guns away is not accurate and does not do anything to help the situation.

    We have tighter control over who buys and sells cars then we do guns. We can and should do better.

    And in a related note, this did not get enough national attention:

    Father of Marysville school shooter convicted of gun charges

    The father of the teen who killed four classmates at Marysville-Pilchuck High School last fall was convicted Tuesday of illegally possessing a half-dozen firearms, including the one his son used in the shooting.


    Raymond Lee Fryberg Jr. was convicted of six counts of unlawful possession of a firearm. One of the firearms, a .40-caliber Beretta pistol, was used by 15-year-old Jaylen Fryberg to kill four classmates and wound a fifth. Jaylen then killed himself with the same handgun.

    You have a really difficult time just carrying on a normal conversation. Jesus.

    Those items are currently illegal. So I see no relevance to the discussion. But if you just want to continue with stupid unrelated one liners, then carry on. Thanks for the reminder of why I hardly make my way to the OT forums.

    Didn't talk about Trump. I talked about Obama using tragedy to push his agenda.

    Isn't illegal to have a gun that isn't registered?

    Okay, so like what... I'm so tired of people saying we need more gun control, but I've yet to see a real plan.
