Well, maybe you should move to a country without any rights for their citizens.

Think about what I said. 20% of the US population suffers from some form of mental illness. 1 out of 5 people that you work with, your kids go to school with, who cheer in the stands at a football game. Do you really want them to have a gun??? The majority of these murders are from people that are mentally ill. A crime of passion is someone undergoing a psychotic event. There is a direct correlation between Terrorism/radicalism and mental illness. Shooting and killing someone is not a natural occurrence.

We all have rights but why should we have the right to be killed by someone else? You have a much better chance being killed by some nut than you will ever have of protecting yourself with your gun. I am not talking about banning guns. I'm talking about trying to come up with real solutions. I own guns but my family has also been the victims of gun violence. I wonder if any of you have had to personally deal with the subject? I don't care if you tell me to frick off. It's a natural response to think this is an isolated instance and you and your family are perfectly safe. I just hope you never have to deal with what this family is dealing with now. All they are left with are questions.
