      It's awful to say, but until there is this type of mass shooting at an elite Republican school, the gun problem will be blamed on the killer. The Republican elected official, as long as he or she is not personally affected, will not care about the gun problem; he or she will always prefer campaign financing from the NRA to the safety of the citizens.

    One of the leaders Biden met on his trip was the new Australian Prime Minister. We had a number of mass shootings until in 1996 a gunman shot and killed 35 people. The conservative government, in defiance of the protests of some of its base, but with the support of the overwhelming majority of the Australian people brought in a ban on semi-automatic weapons and other measures. We have not had a mass shooting since.

The only reason it's complicated in your country is that you have this idiotic idea that having a gun is somehow tied to your freedom. As a nation, you have put 200 year old Enlightenment ideas on a pedestal, despite the fact that the type of tyranny those ideas were a response to and the tools used to enforce that tyranny are long dead. It's your whole national mythology that's the problem. The forces that threaten liberty today are very different from the forces your Founding Fathers dealt with 200 years ago, but you haven't adapted to that, and the modern tyrants have slipped in unnoticed. As was predicted, they're wrapped in the flag and carrying a Bible. It is a testament to how far your country has deviated from its ideals that a sizable chunk of your population thinks those tyrants in waiting are actually heroic defenders of your Republic.

      there are horrible people in the world, would be nice if that was not true. Why people believe by having guns, it will or they will be able to stop a nut from taking over their country. What it will do is start a revolution of our two party system. The idea is a good one, what really happens is another story. No teacher was armed and kids died, no police officer was ready to go in. We have a country with different people who all have different intentions. You have to be lucky you don't have that in Australia, why I would like to move there, but I see people are moving out of New Zealand to Australia and to other countries, we can't find the perfect place. I have found it due to weather, but not people. Even my original country Spain has problems, if you could arm them, they would start a war in no time. Yet today it's like Japan. Our politicians took money from Germany and now will never be able to pay it back. Is it the people's fault that a politician purposely took money knowing it would cause harm. We can't deal with politicians, if we had guns, we believe they can't take away our rights and land. Today where I live, the police will let a criminal get out of jail immediately. If this shooter killed people in California, our governor would go to give him a prize and even George soros might call him to congratulate him, along with our DA, would make sure he gets out to commit more crime. Every country is in danger of a old man who hates everyone because of what happened to him when he was young, and he would like to change the world into a war zone. When he dies, he son and all the organizations he established will continue his work.

      It's beyond cowardice. With exception of Kinsinger, Cheney and Romney to a certain degree, they are all tin foil hat wearin', Q-Anon believin', and bat crap crazy people. I have a bad feeling the GOP will take the upper and lower Houses in the Legislature, because of inflation, very high gas price, and more American treasure sent overseas, instead of that funding being used to help the less fortunate at home. $60 billion on more military adventurism and aggression by proxy. Europeans have been killing each other for 2,000+ years. In every war before America under Woodrow Wilson emerged, they have figured out how to have peace. Let them do it again; they know what to do. They are not stupid. But I sure feel that America got its pocket picked for $60 billion dollars by a know-nothing TV actor who became president, who knows nothing about war, and the resources needed to win one. Instead, Uncle Sugar had to step in and sell Treasury Bonds to the Communists and our WW2 foes, so we can fund this European skirmish.

      Sadly it's a cultural thing at root. Even US progressives, when discussing the need for some form of gun control, they go out of their way to clear out that they are not against gun ownership, that they too practiced shooting in their back yards etc. This only happens to the US because it's considered so normal to own and practice usage of guns in the first place. Where I live, gun ownership is generally banned unless you get a permission, and culturally, if somebody is tinkering with guns, people will assume there must be something going wrong with them, instead of thinking "it's ok, they're just exercising their constitutional rights". People still have their problems, mental health issues or otherwise, but their mind just doesn't go into killing their classmates or committing suicide by shooting people until somebody shoots them back, solely because guns are not supposed to be a part of their lives in the first place.

If it has not dawned on you that the people who demand guns be regulated seem to be surrounded by men with guns. ....what am I to say to you? And who stopped it? Why.... men with guns.

Close down the legal person to person sales of firearms. Gun shows etc. by making it permitted only by licensed individuals. Then have a nation wide buyback, confiscation and melt down of all banned weapons. Also, make it a requirement to have a license to own a permitted firearm with background check, psych evaluations, and safety classes. Renewable every 2 to 4 years. Make it legal and mandated for the ATF to keep digital records of all firearm sales. The ATF is the only govt. agency that has, by law, not been permitted to keep digital records.

      No. The treason party opposes reforms because its members are being paid to oppose reforms. The less blatantly treasonous party is hiding behind the blatantly treasonous party by using the filibuster as an excuse because they're too chickenshit to actually try to do things.
      You're giving them far too much credit.

    What’s telling and grotesque is the complete lack of outrage about the continued gun violence from the right. Even if they aren’t calling for gun control, it’s not normal to not be outraged by this. The fact that they aren’t voicing it tells you all you need to know about their priorities.

      What's appalling is the lack of common sense from the Left.

      Since the Left has defunded the police.... maybe people need to be able to protect themselves.

    Here in Australia we were rivaling the USA with mass shootings, and our Port Arthur massacre set the world record at the time.

    There were protests about if laws changed it would curb our freedoms.

      I talked with an other Australian that had a heated argument with an American, while playing platystation. The American got furious and called the dude a Cia spy and liar, because he honestly believed Australia was a thing CIA made up so they could take away people's guns referring to the incident in Port Arthur.
      There is no winning over stupidity like that.

    When my husband said to me: "what would you say if I got a job in the USA?" My answer was: "I don't want to move there as I do not want to risk my child getting shot at school." The bizarre truth is that I am not exaggerating when I say that. It is time for you to vote the gun lobby out of power.

      The gun lobby is literally half of the 340 million people in America. No. That's not an exaggeration . You won't be voting the guns out of our hands and we will absolutely fight about it . And when reason fails force won't. More people die in car accidents than get shot in America. That's a factual statement . And half of the gun related deaths are suicide. With an fairly high number being those killed by the would be victims of a violent crime . So we don't care at all what you think. Stay where you are , you are not smart enough to be an American.

      @Secret It’s largely because so many Americans still don’t vote, period. And some Americans who do vote really don’t know who or what they are voting for or against on their election ballots each cycle. In the end, the damage is dire due to the lack of consistency all around. Plus, many Americans truly do not like or want change because they are afraid of it.
