Somewhere in America . . .
A girl gets into the wrong car by mistake and is shot and killed by the angry driver as she's leaving.
A young man is shot and killed for ringing the wrong doorbell by an easily frightened old man.
A man shoots and kills an unarmed man during an argument over a movie theater seat.
What do these shooters/killers all have in common?
They're stupid and have no business owning a gun in the first place.
There really needs to be some kind of licensing and certification of U.S. gun owners. Such licensing should be conducted by the state police complete with photo ID just like a driver's license. Ordinary citizens need to be drilled about gun safety and the consequences for their actions/crimes for killing unarmed people in non-life threatening situations.

What crappy reporting. The name of the movie was never mentioned.

Goobers + Guns = Senseless death.
Which is easier to fix, the morons or the guns?
(Hint: it's the guns, stupid)

I knew Albuquerque had Tuco Salamanca who was a hot head, and Lalo Salamanca who was a vicious killer, so this guy seems to be inspired by both.
finally rich
Much effort and so many days spent with training, tests, etc. to have the privilege of driving a motorized vehicle.
Many more days to have the privilege of driving a dangerous trailer truck around town.
The right to fish here
The right to catch there
And literally a few hundred heavy machines/vehicles you spend days just to collect the right papers to apply for permission.
But the most powerful right which is to own and operate a tool that serves a single purpose: harm and kill?
Here, fill out this.

Such a basic issue of communication that ends up with someone dead. Ask people politely to change seats. Apologize and change seats. I've seen 5 year olds do this.

The problem here is that the other man didn’t have a gun. As well as the other people in the movie theater.
All gun owners know that the solution to gun violence is more guns. It’s just common sense.
Hahahahahah

Oh, I am at the ballot box. I suspect that a lot of my fellow Americans who like the idea of not getting shot in the course of everyday activities are going to join me.

Guns should be banned from public buildings.

It does happen though. It happens everywhere. Just in the US it seems to happen far more frequently.

I believe you have the US confused with your hero China.

Guns are banned from NRA conferences. Open Carry should be banned from public cinemas, theaters, concert halls, shopping malls, hospitals, and sports stadiums. Anywhere with a large crowd.
