There isn't any one solution. Better security is a good idea. Better mental health care. Red flag laws. Most importantly we need to get military type weapons out of the general public hands.

I have owned guns my whole life, hunting and target shooting. I am a veteran of the military, where I was a small arms and range instructor. There is absolutely no logical reason for civilians to own military type weapons or large capacity magazines!

@marksam8484 You should know that an AR15 is not a military type weapon but rather a semiautomatic version of the army M16. There are already millions of AR15 rifles owned by civilians. Are you purposing those guns should be seized?

@Trajan61 Please, that's a ridiculous argument Of course it's a military type weapon. Obviously you don't know much about weapons! I'm not gonna pretend for one minute like I have all the answers. But there are options for getting them off the streets like buy backs or perhaps a special permit for people who own those type weapons who have to pass an extensive background check.. The point being every kid on the street can't have easy access to that type of a weapon.
At what point are we going to admit that we have a problem that no other Country has. It's about g** d*** time that we come up with some kind of solution and quit making excuses

@marksam8484 With a radical tyrant like Biden in control I sure as hell will never give up or register any of my guns!

@Trajan61 Why didn't you just say you were a Trump Nutjob? Then I would've known better than to try an have a intelligent conversation ?

Donald Trump made it easier for mentally ill people to buy guns. I thought you were a big supporter.

How about we keep the crazies from being able to get guns in the first place.

@marksam8484 And you appear to be a hopelessly indoctrinated democrap nut job!

@marksam8484, @snytiger6 He did no such thing.

@Trajan61 Try doing a web search. Trump eliminated an Obama rule, making it easier for the mentally ill to get guns. [nbcnews.com]

@snytiger6 If it was a regulation coming from that nut job Obama there had to be something bad about it.

@Trajan61 I can tell you never studied "Logical Fallacies", by the errors of your reasoning.

@Trajan61 Yes, I do suffer from PTSD from combat. While serving my country with distinction. How about you?

Paranoia will destroy you.

The NRA used to be about gun safety and responsible gun ownership. Now, it is ONLY about making money and being sure gun manufacturers are able to sell as many guns as possible no matter how many die.

When my dad died, we had at least half a dozen guns we didn't want and we knew if one of my brothers got hold of them, there would be at least a 50/50 chance someone would get shot, because he is a far right wing nut, and the black sheep of the family. In the end, my other brother took them. The problem with all the guns is that a lot of people who end up with them, don't want them, and there are so few responsible ways to get rid of them.
