Time to beat the lobby movement. This is evil. Do you honestly think crime would increase I'd you banned guns. Just because some folks think it's a right don't make it right.
In the dark ages it was OK to burn witches and kill anybody who wasn't Catholic.
America is in its own modern age dark age.
It's relieving that news of mass shootings is still shocking to some people. It's already bad enough that I live in a country where it's so common place. I don't need the event to ever become something that is "oh by the way" news.
Today?

Fuck me. Any other civilized country and people (government included) would be going absolutely mental about this. What the fuck is up with America?
So you read about this and think: "Eeh, just another mass shooting. Totally normal."
The thing is, you can't really do anything about it with parties like the NRA involved.
You also can't just erase the millions and millions of firearms in people's homes right now.

America is gigantic. Gigantic. Millions of people go without ever seeing an act of gun violence in their entire life. Not a justification, if I could create a giant magnet that sucks up guns, I would. But there is no way to physically collect all the guns out there. Also crazy white people in the middle of this country.
So it's best to just let it happen? They've got to do something, unless someone, somewhere has decided that the fallout from fruitcakes overreacting to a firearms ban would be too harmful to the economy for it to be worth it. I bet the nutjobs would actually consider themselves at war with their government.
Actually, I bet that's probably what's happened.

God damn.. This.. this is eye opening to see all in one info-graphic. Fellow Americans we have a problem and we need to band together to figure this shit out.

I don't think he means it in a negative connotation. I think he's just surprised that people are surprised.
No, but you can start the process of limiting gun culture. If you start making it just a little more difficult to obtain guns now, then it will be that much easier in the future to minimize the importance of guns in peoples lives

It would actually incite a civil war. Without a doubt. All of the red states would actually use their firearms on anyone who came to take their guns. Legislation will never solve this problem. Some sort of gun-impervious force would have to collect guns and the leader of said force would have go into hiding to avoid being assassinated. The religious conservative demographic is that big in this country, and there's no way to segregate just those people.
Well, America could split into zones and all the gun people could move into a zone if they wanted. Like.. Texas to Florida.
We would need to overthrow the current government, most likely using violence, and install a dictatorship that choose what's "good" for people because they're too stupid to do it themselves. In the current "democracy" we have we can literally change nothing.

Oh come on. It is not like there there's solid data out there showing that severely reducing the number of guns out there would reduce the number of gun deaths.
Oh wait. There is? Never mind then.

Curious as to what this looked like 40 years ago.Today?

Works for me! GTFO.
Nah, we non gun supporters just need to create a bigger lobby than the NRA and buy our politicians for more money than the NRA does. Typing that sentence makes me want an overthrow though. Fucking sad what big money does to politics.
I heard that if were weren't many guns, one person would just walk around shooting people, and no one would be able to do anything, because there weren't enough guns. Like what always happens in all those other countries all the time.

I would actually support such zones. Like, Christian conservative zone here, liberal crazy zone here, pockets of different immigrant countries here, there, and then a zone that's just normal America. And moving costs and such would be subsidized.
Never happen.
Just any given day in america. Nothing special really.
Well at the very least I hope this hostage situation is resolved as peacefully as possible. :-/

There have been over 850 mass shootings in the USA since Sandy Hook.
If the mass murder of children wasn't enough to turn the tide, nothing will be.

I don't think the body count matters to the gun crazies. When there's a bad day like today, gun purchases actually spike because people are afraid something will actually be done.
They're not thinking "how do we solve this"

So true... and it freaking depresses me.
Reduces taxes for people who hand over their guns. That's the only way to go.

As an American myself, kinda scared to even go anywhere anymore. Thankfully I live in a not so big city, but I'm sure there are messed up people here just like it they probably are everywhere. I'll just keep staying inside as much as possible.

If you buy enough guns you can make body armor out of the guns. Then you can be protected from guns, by guns. So, buy more guns.

People turn in a gun to get their tax break, keep a bunch hidden in their home anyways
Do you realize how low the odds are of you being involved in a mass shooting?

That's the part that makes you sad huh. Want to talk about it?
("Mass shooting" is defined as >4 people shot in one event)
What's the big deal, from April 8 - 15 we went one whole week without a mass shooting!
Still better than the current situation. Besides that, you gotta start somewhere.

If the situation in a first world country like US is even worse than developing countries then we definitely have some big problems.

Living in America must be terrifying.

Damn.
Came across this article about the effect of gun control in Australia from 2012.

it isn't. Life in America is pretty great. but from the outside, it probably looks terrifying.
this is a problem that needs solving. I hope the candidates for 2016 have something to say on the matter, especially after today.
Gun culture and gun ownership is ingrained into American society. The right to own guns is included in the U.S. Constitution, and if the government ever decided to start confiscating or even implementing more stricter gun ownership regulations then there would be a big risk of armed conflict. Fact is there are a lot of nut jobs out there who would rather die than to hand in their guns.
So we either accept these mass shootings as part of American society or risk another civil war

You pay people to turn them in and if people refuse to comply you take them by force. Its the only thing that would ever work.
