Exactly what I was thinking
"What a hell of a way to start a Saturday morning"
Good luck to those wounded.

One could only imagine how bad it would have gotten if there wouldnt have been any guns to keep people safe.

I can't think of a more appropriate start to the American independence day weekend than gun violence.

God damn. The fact the US will never get decent gun control laws is just mind boggling.

You think the type of people who shoot up nightclubs in arguments are the type to respect gun control laws?

If it is harder to get guns, those type of people might not get their hands on one in the first place, so they are unable to shoot up a nightclub.

There's no guns in Ireland, and our nightclubs don't get shot up

LOL seriously? Make getting guns harder to obtain or regulated would make the US a better and safer place.

amazing that this has to be explained in 2017.
Its about minimising harm. Acts of extreme violence against masses of people are orders of magnitude more common in the US. Take the guns away won't solve the fucked up relationship with violence that country has but it will ensure less people are maimed or killed when that fundamental part of the american individuals psyche manifests.

The only thing scarier than a hail of bullets coming at you from one side is a hail of bullets coming at you from all sides.

You think that's an effective counterpoint to increased gun laws?
They don't have a portion of their population that was reasonably assumed to be willing to engage in some kind of civil war when their guns were taken.

Did I say we shouldn't have increased gun laws?
Siiiigh what a fucking depressing night
Uhhhhhh I've never seen/heard of any shootouts in nightclubs in Tokyo and I've been clubbing daily

The 2nd amendment is fucking trash.
Ugh. I feel bad for chuckling at this, but there it is. Sadly appropriate.
What was your point then because your comment seems pretty specious given the statistics conform better gun control would prevent incidents like this and you just posted the usual nonsense "but..." reply.
You think other countries with better stats than US magically have people who always obey the law?

Guys a school filled with children was shot up and ZERO changes were made.
U.S. aint getting any kind of gun reform.

Back in the day, I remember getting an email titled "did you know the Sandy Hook shooting didn't happen?". I've never been to the US, my native language isn't English, why on earth would these denialists target me with their conspiracy nut spam? America is a weird place.

You'd think no... and yet that same type of people is somehow NOT shooting up nightclubs in any other country in the world. Funny how that works.
That was the litmus test. America failed. If anything, America will be getting more lax and less restrictive gun control laws going forward. Like Trump overturning the rule that would have restricted access to firearms for individuals classified as having poor mental health.
I think if we have some folks of Sub-Saharan and Middle Eastern descent start exercising their 2nd Amendment rights and suing (and losing) when the right is violated, we might accidentally end up with some strict gun control.

America DOES love its racial profiling. But then, they'd rather just introduce laws to deport those sub-Saharan and Middle Eastern descent Americans. Or find easier ways to get firearms into the hands of rich white people and give them carte blanche to shoot people on sight based on racial profiling (i.e. the 'ole "I was scared / they were coming at me" defense that white cops use all the time).
Because too many guns can NEVER be the problem. Too many guns can ONLY be the solution.
So, RIP to zero victims? Did you bother did read the OP or did you just want to get your +1 anti-gun post in?

America has a unique gun problem. There's no way to just "take all the guns away". It's extremely easy to illegally obtain firearms.
Just like prohibition made alcohol harder to obtain and US a safer place?
Prohibition doesnt work in a society built on Guns.
Don't you want them to rest peacefully?
Everyone needs their sleep!
But seriously guys, read the OP, no one died.

Especially now with the orange turd and his bring guns everywhere you go mentality.
A country built on alcohol and guns. What could possibly go wrong.
Yeah I really don't think they are the same.
As a gun owner, if they banned guns I wouldn't be trying to find ways to sneak them. But if they banned alcohol again, I damn well would be.
But how would they defend themselves?!

Can't wait for so many to start talking about the importance of thoughts, prayers, etc. Can't wait for politicians to talk about how there was no way to stop this from happening. Can't wait for everyone with half a brain to point out the obvious only to be shot down the the death-peddling NRA.

There is no way to ban guns in the US. But we can pasd better regulations.
Lol I agree, but its true.
You wouldnt, but Rusty up there in the North Georgia mountains? You bet he would. As would many other people throughout this nation. You cant separate them from it because it as much a part of them as free speech or the stars and stripes.

The NRA doesn't want everyone to have guns! They want rich white people to have guns. You bring up making it easier for black people or Hispanics to have guns, the NRA will shoot it down.

I agree but it is an extremely difficult issue, likely one that can't be solved at the federal level.
