    There it is. I knew someone would blame it on law abiding US citizens. That’s why I posted my comment. I’m a retired LEO and think every law abiding citizen should be trained and armed.

    You do you and I’ll do me. If you don’t want to own a gun then that’s your right and I support it 100%.

    When the slaughter of 20 six and seven-year olds at Sandy Hook failed to get more restrictive gun laws passed I gave up all hope as well. In the interim gun laws have become more permissive.

    Good list. I would support each of these as would a majority of Americans. However, a bill with any one of these reasonable, responsible, items would have a tough time passing through the current Congress. Put them together in 1 bill and it is DOA in my view. The laws in many states are loosening up requirements for gun ownership, gun use, and gun possession.

    It is my Captain Obvious observation that more guns in more hands in more places = more gun violence.

    It appears this guy used at least one handgun, not any sort of rifle, just FYI.

    Retired in 2007 so plenty of time to think it through. Lol

    The key is “law abiding US citizens”.

    Everyone is a law abiding citizen until they're not

    1 killed, 3 injured in El Paso close by scene of 2019 mass shooting that killed 23 at a WalMart.

    1 dead, 3 injured in shooting at El Paso shopping mall


    We don’t need gun control. We just need to avoid churches, malls, supermarkets, mosques, concerts, synagogues, cinemas, parks, pre-schools, middle schools, high schools, college campuses, mass transportation, the outdoors in general…

    Your post is nonsense then...you knew the second you posted it.

    So a logical extension of your post is you support putting guns in the hands of future criminals. Nice job!

    Right. Every criminal started out as a law abiding citizen. You, by a large default in your logic, want to arm all future criminals. And even teach them to use their guns in the commission of crimes. How progressive.
