15 killed today, we, the normals should step in and just tell them admit they can’t be trusted with such easy access to devastating killing implements.

20 now which sounds like it will rise among the 26 injured

Every time this happens ammunition sales increase the day after

Being Texas this does add weight to gun control because part of their argument is good guys kill bad guys , I believe texas is one of the states where it's legal to carry a gun but with almost 50 dead or wounded it made no difference .

They will never learn but it shouldn't stop us pointing out the flaw in their thought processing

It appears there’s been another shooting elsewhere.
Tragic. It’s literally every month.

I am in absolute aghast as to how low the American intelligent can stoop. One for the shooters who obviously have severe issues. Two for why they don't shoot the shooter dead at the scene. Then three, the kicker, why aren't guns banned for all that don't need them for work, controlled sport or any absolute valid reasons?

Why, why why?

The Americans talk about security and worry about Huawei, Google, Facebook, terrorism etc. and all these issues. Then can't even get their own house in order. Idiots.

Ridiculous really, Americans worry about the threat of terrorism and bomb and invade elsewhere because of it.
They’ve more chance of getting shot by another American at home.

I think I read somewhere that an American is 76% more likely to be shot by a toddler than killed by a terrorist. This, perhaps, is an indicator that there are too many guns in circulation!

They will argue that toddlers need weapons training!

How much longer can the idiots resist change and how many more people will die before it happens?

I hope Trump, his fellow idiots and the rest of US Congress have trouble sleeping for a very long time.

How can you possibly let this happen and then all it to continue to happen?

I’ve had a few conversations with some very intelligent, articulate Americans about their gun laws, and it’s a complicated and baffling issue for people who aren’t American.

Their right to bear arms is built into the very fabric of their version of democracy. It is based on the idea that everyone should be able to defend themselves and stand up for what they believe is right. When you probe at this, and question who they believe they need to be able to defend themselves against, the most scary answer is that they don’t trust the government and they want to retain the ability to either mount a revolution, or protect themselves in the event of a revolution...

It isn't really complicated. The old rules and laws in their constitution are out of date and don't work. Change them....simple.

We way over complicate life and decisions sometimes in 2019. Let's stops making it complicated and more complicated. Let's make things easier.
