    Someone probably said something that wasn’t nice and the other person got mad and thank god had their weapon for times like this and shot 24 people so it all worked out great

    But as long as we don’t take away his “rights”……. What about the people he murdered rights, sadly they no longer have any.

    No, these things happen. Just not very often. In the US we're more likely to be killed by police than in a mass shooting.

    And if you're not in a gang your odds of being shot drop substantially.

    Over by Oak Grove just last week my daughter's best friend's Aunt had a huge dude break into her house.

    She was sitting on her bed with a gun when he came through her bedroom door. He immediately dropped what he had, put his hands up, and ran off.

    You won't see this on the news, but according to the CDC, (depending on how the question is asked) there are between 60,000 to 2.5 million defensive gun uses each year in the US.

    https://www.cdc.gov/violenceprevent...ies for Research,defensive gun uses each year.

    No problem. If you don't make false implications I will not have to set the record straight.

    How do you know what the record is? All I said was, people were murdered, but as long as he gets to keep his rights. Peoples rights to bare arms is not more important than peoples rights to LIVE.

    To me it’s all pretty silly.
    We tried open carry guns on our hips and no real laws about enforcement. It didn’t work. Pretty much every town became slaughtering zones for even a simple argument over cards or a girl at the bar.
    They had to change the way guns were policed because way too many innocent bystanders were getting killed as well as it was very tough to place blame or responsibility.
    Nobody anywhere has ever wanted to take away the right to bear arms. They just want less guns on the streets and out of the hands of people who kill without regard to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
    The argument that it’s our right to have and carry a gun has been put to shame so many times it’s unbelievable to me we have to have these conversations any longer. If you cannot see it’s driven by greed and asinine principles then I simply assume you don’t want to listen to reason or look at the history and numbers.
    I have guns. I know how to use them. I have never felt I needed to carry one to feel safe except when I was in the military and I was in a combat zone.
    I keep my guns because I can. I choose to be responsible with my guns because it’s the law. I support those laws wholeheartedly.

    Well if I have factual information which refutes a claim I will state it so that both sides are represented.

    There is no evidence to suggest there is any political will to enable dangerous people the right to access guns.

    It's disingenuous to imply that will exists, so I called it out. Things like these muddy the water and prevent actual progress.

    This is what happens when you have weak or no gun laws. This is going to happen in droves in states that are getting rid of background checks, registrations, and permits.

    Nobody is opposed to removing the rights of people who would kill without regard for life.

    They are opposed to every American being subjected to increased restrictions, or a database which would allow bad actors to easily identify and locate gun owners.

    There are solutions which would address all these concerns, but nobody in power is actuality interested in solutions. They are interested in the debate and the distraction and the increased campaign contributions that go along with it.

    All guns should be kept at libraries and when you read 3 books you can check one out for a week.

    Arkansas is one of the states that doesn't require a background check or permit to buy a gun because Republicans who are charge there won't put that in place. That is political will to put guns in the hands of bad people.

    And if you read 3 Ebooks, you can 3D print your choice of a gun you can get through metal detectors with.
