Its not about a gun problem. If you are crazy enough to kill multiple people in cold blood, then you wouldn't blink at obtaining a firearm illegally.

That is why they are known as criminals/bad guys.

Besides, crazy killers will always find something to murder you with. It's what they do.

I'll give you my take on this, being one of the few GetBig veteran members having fought in 2 wars:

11.5 years I served, had an M-16 & Browning Hi-Power 9mm by my side or AVAILABLE 24/7...
Now, not being in the Army owning an M-16 in CANADA is a felony (You can have an AR-15 with a complicated & expensive license)

***  BUT, 35 minutes south of me in Burlington, Washington State you can go to a range and fire a rental Assault rifle!!!  :D :D

A powerful, gripping, enthralling, and captivating video.

I wonder how hard it was for that crew in Paris to get AKs.

I'm not in a position to watch the video, but what do they consider  "a mass shooting"?

What is supposedly wrong with the current gun laws in America?

If you are of legal age, and have no criminal, or mental health history, how should they be able to deny a purchase?

That is a good question. It's a forum, so we can discuss this.

But I can't comment in good faith, until I know what the basic parameters are now.

But my point was, if you have a clean record, how can you be denied?

Many of these incidents involved people with no prior history of violence.

It's not the guns that kill people dude, it's the peoples that kills peoples

If US had same gun control as rest of developed world it would not result in one less wacko nut job random massacre.

I guess that's the thing right? Plus, the 2nd amendment is a right.

Taking away peoples rights is not something that is done easily, nor should it be taken lightly.

The reason why it's 2nd, is that it's designed to protect the 1st.

What if you had to pull a weekend because of something like a DUI or Misdemeanor drug offenses.? Stuff like that.

Does it have to be a felony?

I would say any felony (especially for a violent crime) should be a red flag/hurdle. With that being said, should a guy be denied a gun purchase because he assaulted someone 20 years ago?

Felony assault? Stayed out of trouble?

I figure if he's only had that one thing, after 20 years, probably would be ok.

So what is the issue? When they talk about implementing stricter gun laws, what are they talking about? Are they lax now?

Making guns illegal across the board is just a dumb idea. It obviously hasn't stopped massacres in places with very strict gun policies in place.

It's a person problem

yes, but a person with a weapon that can kill dozens from a range is more than just a "person problem".

and its not the "bad guys" that are doing the massacres.

if its uber easy to get a weapon, its uber easy to use it.

You understand that if a group of criminals want guns and fucking body Armor, that will still be able to get them right? ???
Banning guns won't stop anything. Hell, even banning every potential "weapon" down to steak knifes won't stop anything. The only thing that will do is cause only criminals and under paid cops have guns.
Unfortunately, mass shootings is a sickness with no easy cure.

You don't really WANT a cure.
You are comfortable with the "new normal" of a mass shooting per week - something that doesn't happen in countries with strict firearms laws.

Your " cure " is NOT a cure. You just want the tools of violence to change. Americans are violent people there is NO cure for that. So instead of mass shootings every week we would get mass bombings

keep working on your ' cure '

So you're saying mass murder via guns and bombing don't happens  in other countries? Because Paris didn't happen right?
You're a real stupid fuck.
Hell, maybe I'm acting stupid trying to debate with the village idiot.  :-\

Why do you have multiples of the mass shootings and gun violence per capita of any other developed nation? Over 50% of mass shootings in the world are in USA.

Banning guns will likely never happen but at least accept that their prolification contributes to the amount of shootings...

Correlation does not mean causation. 300 million guns in private hands in the USA if it were the case mass shootings would be much , much more prevalent and gun violence is fallen dramatically in the past 20 years http://usnews.nbcnews.com/_news/2013/05/07/18108298-gun-violence-in-us-has-fallen-dramatically-over-past-20-years-justice-dept-report-finds

Would banning firearms reduce murder & suicide? Harvard study , the answer is NO
