There are far better ways to stop this BS than another idiot with a gun.

@evidentialist Disarming the general population will only create more victims. The criminals will still have firearms after all they are criminals and they could care less about the laws.

@azzow2 -- An old, worn out, ineffective, and inane argument. Try again.

@evidentialist Destroy the firearms altogether and other weapons will be employed.

@azzow2 Frankly, I'd much rather see someone come into WalMart with a bow & arrow....than an AKC 47!

@azzow2 According to your argument, there must be hundreds of thousands of victims of gun violence in China, Japan, France, Britain, etc.

@evidentialist @azzow2

I thought azzow2 was being sarcastic. Must have been armed residents all over the place. Yet somehow no one managed to step in. In Ohio, on the other hand, someone grabbed the barrel of the shooter's weapon. Gunman subsequently pulled out a handgun, but by that time police were able to shoot him.

And the solution to 'soft targets' is what?

@evidentialist

That's a good question. I don't know if there is a solution. It's just a reality that we have no choice but to live with. The effort it would take to solve this problem is again not realistic until the paradigm surrounding the US's relationship to guns dramatically changes.

@t1nick -- Precisely, my friend.

You're right---this was done by a mentally ill young man with hatred in his heart for everyone who didn't look like him!

@LucyLoohoo Trump is good at division and dishing out that kind of hatred. I saw a meme recently with both Pelosi and Ohmar on it and the caption was "both of these women are full of hate." I need someone to go forward here and explain exactly what kind of hate they are full of.

@DenoPenno Were you able to challenge the meme's ''poster'' and start a discussion? Or was it one of those sneaky, anonymous things?
