I have ideas on how to lessen this seemingly daily scenario in America, but since none of them match up with either crazily polarized side in the debate they both see me as the enemy rather than the one to find sensible compromise and end this madness. Even the idea of compromise is unfathomable to them at this point.

And so I am sure the truckloads of thoughts and prayers on their way, the gun debate cycle spiraling to nowhere gets an extra little push to keep it going and let the mantras and obfuscations begin.

American style democracy. Everyone has the democratic right to guns.

Another day, another shooting in the US of A.

Another unfortunate event that suggests it may be time to examine the change society has undergone in the last 70 years. Something is driving the world wide mindset decline in "successful" cultures.

it may be time to examine the change society has undergone in the last 70 years.

There have been longer periods of peace and stability that were rudely interrupted by genocide and civil war. Don't kid yourself. Pick up a history book.

The problem is not the Second Amendment. Guns are a symptom, not the disease. That said, it does help to treat the symptom, but those who keep insisting treatment of that one symptom alone will be a cure all are as outside reality as those who say we need more of the symptom to finally have wellness.

I'm scratching my head over that. I think the symptom is the wish to kill people. The disease may be harder to define, but as you said yourself, it has happened before. Meanwhile, access to guns as in this case and in the case in Austria in the previous World article appears to be the vector for producing the outcome.

Don't blame guns! Gun-lovers know full-well the man could have easily done the exact same thing with a pillow or a cup of dry rice so long as he had the intent. Just another day in 'Merka! Yee-haw!

America and its gun violence.

Ridiculous

Another day, another massacre/shooting in the United States of America (U.S./USA) ... when will this nightmare end?

And yet, what will be done to prevent the continuing stream of gun violence in America?

Absolutely nothing.

Make sure to thank the NRA when your family and friends succumb to their evil political manipulations. And also, vote blue in 2020.

It's time for responsible gun owners to stand up for registration. If I have to register to fly my radio control airplanes which has not killed anyone then why shouldn't gun owners be registered also?

Under the second amendment, that is correct, if you have the right to personally own a firearm that would depend.

More junk. The NRA has absolutely nothing to do with any individual that goes out and commits a cowardly act like that. Those verbal tactics won’t fly or stick.

No, especially seeing what are government has been doing in secret and over the last 3 years with this President and what they are now trying to do to get him out of office, forget it, I wouldn’t take that step and any sensible law abiding gun owner won’t as well.
