Care to point out where that point was made?The argument that more guns leads to a safer society is bull****. That's the point of the thread.
These days, it seems like everyone has a gun. Get pissed at the wife, shoot the bitch. Get pissed at your boss, shoot the ****er. Get pissed at the guy who cut you off on the highway, shoot the bastard.
I notice a trend.
Ah, so in NRA world, we can't even mention it when another kid dies because some asshole had too easy access to a gun. Is that how you want it?
Where did I say anything about banning guns? A guy can bitch about there being too many damned guns without saying we should ban them, ya know :roll:
No. Just another day, and another dead child shot by some asshole with a gun. There is no reason to read more into it than what it says or what happened...again.
No. The correlation between easy access to guns and death by shooting is pretty solid.
Having a gun sure does make it easier to kill someone and shoot an innocent bystander for good measure.

How would you have made it more difficult for this man to get a gun? Explain in detail.

A couple days after the shooting in a Florida gym, where a disgruntled employee decided to take his pea shooter out for a walk and blow away his old bosses, an angry husband barged into a school to shoot his old lady, before killing himself---taking out an innocent 8-year old boy in the process.

Good stuff. Give everyone a gun so that some minor squabble between two spouses results in the death of innocents. Just ****ing great.

Then you are watching the news too much. 45 million owners minimum. How many millions of shootings each year are there? Hundred thousands?
The fact is that...without reading into this...I can already tell you the shooter probably had a history of violence. People don't snap. Warning signs. Probably didn't seek treatment. Doesn't matter though does it?
Let's just ban guns. That will solve our mental health problem. Nevermind that gasoline or propane doesn't need a background check, knives are cheap, and assholes are running through crowded streets in their vans.

We have no idea if "easy access" was the issue here. You've jumped to a conclusion with no data at all to pursue your agenda.
No where, you never have solutions just mockery of a liberty that saves more lives than deaths you can blame on it.
Disgusting that you celebrate this.
Of course it does. So you're solution is eliminate all weapons?

Another day, another rush by gun control nuts to use the bodies of the dead to push their political agenda...
2 issues
1) No evidence of that. You need evidence.
BECAUSE...
2) Correlation does not equal causation.

Does everyone have a gun? I doubt it, though I guess I don't have ownership trends in front of me presently.
The murderer wasn't allowed to own a gun anyway, so obviously it came through illegal means. Banning guns will do what exactly? If, and it's a big If, you could get them out of the hands of the public, and If, and this is a bigger If, you could control the influx of illegal weapons, you can eliminate a good hunk of gun violence/suicide. But I don't know how long it would take, and some of that will be impossible. So it will never drop to zero.
I think the more disturbing trend is how quick we are to turn to violence. America and guns are like peanut butter and jelly, and for a long long time have we a celebrated history of open gun rights. But how quickly people are turning to the gun or other weapons to settle arguments, is far more disturbing. It may be easier to see guns because they'll get the headlines, but things like school shootings didn't used to be quite as common. And it's not the gun because the gun had always been there. It's us. We're turning to violence first as a solution, and that's the trend you should be noticing.
Please show where I suggest enacting gun control measures.
Please show where this isn't anything short of a gungrabbers tear jerk **** show?
