    Blah blah I don't care. One man shot 550 plus people. Figure it out.

    Probably a wise choice. If I didn't have an unhealthy need to read everything in this forum, I probably would too.

    Murder is illegal. Didnt stop him. So a bump stock being illegal is going to stop him? You cant control everyone. I know it's the liberal wet dream to completely control everyone and make them think exactly like you. But it's not going to happen. It would do wonders for your blood pressure to just accept that there are crazy people out there. If you are afraid of someone shooting you, congratulations, you live in america where you are free to carry a gun for protection. And i encourage everyone to exercise their rights.

    If you believe this, how the fuck can anyone reason with you? Yeah this take is just fucking crazy.
    Obama sure didn't take your guns so folks just need to stop. As a matter of fact you could take your firearm to more places under Obama than Bush.
    The brady bill expired in 2004. No one has taken your guns...

    And MFs need to get off this slippery slope argument. It's tired and old.

    You see it as control, I see it as loss prevention and safety. Screw that whole Frank Luntz "Gun Control" argument. People are dying.

    I like how democrats believe the world is over crowded and can only sustain 10% of it's current population and then get upset when the hurd is thinned.

    Republicans care about human life but are:

    Pro Gun
    Pro Capital Punishment
    Pro War
    Anti Healthcare for all.

    Yeah the fuck right...

    I get it. But what could you have done, short of confiscation, to stop Vegas from happening?

    He had no criminal record.

    He was wealthy.

    He had a shit ton of guns, so it's not like he walked out and bought the gun that day. No waiting period would have stopped him.

    How would "common sense gun control" have stopped this from happening?

    When are we going to get to the point where we as a civilization ABHOR killing each other....? I feel like I was born in the wrong century with all this racism and killing.

    Call me a dreamer but I'm not the only one.

    No one should own a bump stock. Regardless. No one human should posses that much killing power. It's legal to buy but illegal to own and use? Stu-pid... It's not a fucking radar detector...

    Here's the thing... it's better now than it was 50 years ago. Things are getting better. I feel like the internet has made us feel like the world is horrible, but things are getting better. It might not seem like it, but gun deaths are declining. They have been declining for a while. We're working on issues. Gay people can get married. Women are kicking ass in the workplace. We had a black President. Things aren't perfect, and I don't think they'll ever be perfect, but they're getting better.

    And is there hatred in the world? Yes. Is there death and killing? Yes. But I think it's a good thing that we are seeing all these racists and Nazis because they still exist. We now KNOW that they still exist. They're not hiding in the shadows. They're out there and we can see them. And it's making us talk about it. I think it's unifying people against these haters.

    Are we talking about adjustable stocks or some magical stock that allows a gun to shoot faster then a finger? No matter what pysics are involved the trigger still has to reset and a new round has to chamber. You should welcome an altered gun firing at that rate. It's more likely to melt

    Cops are now saying there were definitely 2 or more people in the room.
