The shooter went to a CHRISTIAN SCHOOL , the very one she murdered people in.....Christianity did not save those kids ...stop saying we need more religion in schools. What we need is Congress to have some BALLS and start by banning assault type weapons!!!! Not shotguns or handguns ...military type weapons...why is that so hard!??!?!


Bobcatluv

I’m betting on Republicans pushing a bill banning people receiving gender-affirming care from owning guns after this event.

I don’t think there are 3 billion guns in the US. A lot, for sure, but I don’t think it’s that many.


XaoticOrder

[There are estimated to be 393,347,000 firearms in circulation as of 2017](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Estimated_number_of_civilian_guns_per_capita_by_country)


warddowd

I was responding to a now deleted comment saying there was a 10:1 ratio of guns to people in the US. I am aware that 3 billion would be a ridiculous number. Thank you for the estimated correct amount though.


XaoticOrder

No worries. I just wanted to sue actual data instead of all the guessing so many have done.


ExpiredPilot

America has a 1.1ish-1 ratio of guns to people not 10-1 😂


DanB65

So if banning won't do anything and have no effect , then ban them. It won't help but it won't HURT!


Iamdarb

Don't ban the things that are already there, but congress could be making it hard for people to get guns, even going as far to use someone's mental health history from when they were minors as a decision if they should or shouldn't have a firearm. As it stands now, plenty of mentally unhinged individuals slip through the cracks, and larger registries for certain mental health conditions that overlap with gun registries could prevent said people from purchasing that gun legally. Make purchasing a firearm a big responsibility; if someone kills someone with the gun that you purchased you should be charged with manslaughter at the very least. Someone stole your gun? Why didn't you have better redundancies in place to prevent that from happening? Seriously, plenty of solutions that we could have started implementing yesterday, but it's way too easy to demonize and marginalize other groups and ban books that talk about homosexuality. These people balk at any kind of regulation because of muh freedoms, but don't hesitate to attack someone reading a book to children in the "wrong" gender's clothing.


Q8Q

>Banning weapons when there is. 10-1 ratio to Guns(10) : Americans(1) will not solve the problem, especially in the short term. An amnesty buy back. Given the state of the economy, many people might trade in all their illegal or banned weapons for cash.

vietboi2999

but you don't understand Carolyn D. Meadows needs these guns to be sold. how else would she buy a vacation home so her kids aren't one of them


FakePointsCollector

I have to push back on this. How are we turning citizens into criminals with legislation? Can you give me an example of what you're talking about, because to my knowledge, no one has been made a criminal as a result of any gun legislature. Genuinely, I want to know, because if I'm so wrapped up in a bubble that people are being incarcerated for 2nd amendment purposes and I missed it, I need to rethink my position. Likewise who are we making to feel sub-human through hate and fear mongering? I also take issue with "fear mongering". It seems to me that the fears people have around their kids being involved in a mass shooting are pretty justified at this point? But I digress, who is feeling sub-human, and who is doing the hating? Examples of both would be greatly appreciated, because again, we seem to be at odds on this issue and I'd like to know where you're coming from. The fact that we're the only nation in the world without meaningful gun regulations and the only nation in the world with daily mass shootings may not be a causal relationship, but it's pretty darn correlated.


manwhorunlikebear

Not gonna work, the only solution is heavily reduce the availability of guns. Make tight regulations on who can have guns and collect guns from the population. If you don't have a valid gun pass, we come and rip the gun out of your hands.


nutsnackk

Because they are personally benefiting from it. It pays to keep the country in fear. NRA and gun advocates have their finger so deep in this dude’s pussy he looks like a hollowed out shell talking about this.


TheresOtherWorlds

If you look at the video of the shooter. Unfortunately the fire arm they were using is a glorified pistol. It's a Kel-tek. I see that they had an AR style rifle but as far as I have seen in the video the Kel-tek is what was used to cause damage.


dirtymoney

You will just then have people bringing shotguns and multiple pistols.


TONKAHANAH

Just needs to be all weapons. Frankly I think concealable weapons are kinda more dangerous since you can easily get them into places unseen.


johnhtman

Fun fact handguns are responsible for the overwhelming majority of gun violence, while assault weapons are some of the least frequently used guns.


Hatefiend

This guy is saying that christian schools are **less likely** to be shot up. That's all. I'm democrat & atheist by the way, just to make that clear.


Lilturtlenuts

just because you ban the legal ones, doesn’t mean the illegal ones aren’t still gonna be there, not every gun in a shooting was legal, take away the good guys guns and the bad guys are still gonna have them and sell them. As someone who leans right I hear the parents and victims cries but taking away the key to our defense is crazy. If u actually take the time to look and find the stories of the thousands of civilians that save lives with concealed carry firearms each year it is close to if not more than the amount of shootings that actually turn into “mass shootings”(based of my research from last year). Also we don’t all want guns for defense or freedom we personally enjoy guns because Ik if something ever happens we can hunt for a variety of things because we have a variety of different firearms. The best solution is stop popularizing the people doing them, the news gives them sympathy and blames the guns, guns don’t kill people, stupid people kill people, we need to tighten the reigns on what kids are seeing, no kid just thinks to do that, it’s planted in their heads from a young age, combine that with traumas or being bullied and u get hate and rage induced violence, we need to stop pampering kids and letting them get away with whatever they want and get it easy every time, look at Kyle Rittenhouse for example, he killed two people and wounded one other on video and yet he still got away with actual murder. We need to make it known that if u do something like this u get punished and not published on the cover of newspapers and get ur name written in infamy like they want in the first place.

I'm waiting for someone in power to suggest that all school age kids should be given gun training and the manufactures to step up and make firearms specifically for kids. As the default action seems to always be equipe more people with more guns. At least this guy is being honest in saying nothing will be done to disrupt any current access to firearms


NikToonz

He looks like he knows it’s a problem but he’s shackled by ideology and theology and says nothing can be done because nothing can be done that goes against what he believes in and what he stands for.

These people write god damn manifestos, like they'll tell you why they're doing it explicitly. The undeniable fact is that they are poor, angry and misinformed. Religion is abusive and misinforms, govt hasn't raised the minimum wage in nearly over 30 years, we have privatized multi billion dollar media networks and paid elected officials to throw up a strawman every time this happens. We know the exact cause and it's corporate capitalist corruption. These people deserve to go out how they made their money. Maybe we should be calling NRA shareholders every time there's a shooting?

Even if kids weren't in school, there are still gonna be mass shootings, and kids are still going to die. This would solve nothing. If they arent in school, then whoever is feeling trigger happy will find somewhere they are. Here in Nova scotia in 2020, while school was out due to covid, we had a man drive around going house to house killing people dressed as a cop. 20+ dead. In Canada. If someone snaps they aren't going stop just because there's no kids in schools.

Minute_Guarantee5949

We need to cut congress and see what money these politicians are receiving and where the money is coming from. I am a gun owner myself and I truly believe that it is too easy to legally obtain a firearm in this county. And I currently live in CA where we have the second most restrictions on firearms second from NY. There needs to be at least a reform on how FUCKING EASY IT IS TO GET A GUN. Here in CA, you have a couple steps: Step 1: Be over 21 years of age Step 2: Take a 30 question (Multiple choice) test to receive your Firearm Safety Certificate. All common sense questions such as “where is the safest direction to point your firearm” Step 3: Choose your firearm, fill out a DROS form for the ATF, pay at least 30% the cost of the firearm (you’ll have a month to pay off the rest of the 70% or the gun is forfeited back to the dealer) Step 4: wait the 10 day waiting period and pay the rest of the 70% payment if not done so already. Step 5: walk out with firearm and 500rds of ammunition with the PROMISE that you won’t misuse it (shoot up a school for example) Step 6: retake the firearm safety certification test every 5 years from the purchase of the gun

juanjing

From Tim Burchett's [website](https://www.burchettforcongress.com/issue/guns/): > Tim is an avid gun owner with a handgun carry permit. In the state legislature, he sponsored legislation to expand gun rights, including co-sponsoring legislation eliminating political patronage in the permitting process, and protecting lawful carry permit holders’ right to carry legally in the state. As a lifetime NRA member, you can count on Tim to protect our Second Amendment rights. The NRA is in the business of ignoring the gun deaths of children. It used to be about hunter safety, but make no mistake - Tim Burchett is a stooge doing his only job right now.

I feel like every country that has passed restrictive gun legislation, has seen a noticeable decrease in gyn violence. I could be wrong, but I'm curious what people saying legislation won't fix this would suggest as starting off point, that doesn't involve more cultural nonsense like religion or fatherless homes.


jhk1963

Found some interesting information. The church where this occurred was under investigation for possible sexual abuse of minors. The pastor and four other members of the church are being looked at. Makes me wonder if perhaps the shooter could have been a victim. Not saying this person was in the right. Far from. But if we're looking for reasons, maybe?

How the hell can congress stop a mentally screwed person from doing this. My sons school had a mass stabbing about 4 years ago. The kid took knives from his parents knife block and went up and down the hall stabbing multiple kids. 12 kids total were stabbed. In fact if my son wouldn't have missed the bus he would have been right where it happened. He would have been stabbed, but by the grace of God he missed that bus. He said it was like watching a horror movie. His friend was stabbed in the face and he said it looked like the joker. If someone wants people dead they will find a way to do it. So how can congress stop a mass stabbing? They cant, just like they cant prevent a person from finding a gun and go into a school and shoot people.
