Rip to the kids and teachers.
Hopefully some sanity can be introduced to there ownership laws to prevent obvious autists and the mentally ill from possessing guns (obviously the illegal market is a lost cause - but how can guys like this be allowed to buy guns legally).

Until America grows up they will continue to have this problem.

You cant give uncivilised people civilised things..

They successfully fought for their land against the British, that's the basis for the Second Amendment. Most of the military are themselves pro-gun, they are less likely to shoot their own people, so no they wouldn't get obliterated in minutes.
It's a semi-auto rifle, not assault rifle. In the deadliest school shooting (Virginia Tech), the perpetrator used pistols. Banning rifles wouldn't do a thing.
They're considered a basic right in America because it is part of their checks and balances, so that if someone in power were to ever go too far then the people would be able to resist a tyrannical government with force, so people only being allowed to own pistols doesn't really fulfil that criteria.
Ahhhh but they also needed the help of the French.... We also sent the first ship on its merry way as they was a bunch of religous nutters.....
What could possibly go wrong.............................
That's the interpretation of the amendment which has been twisted in the courts by the gun lobby.
Again nothing is going to change.

Guns are intrinsically tied to far too many Americans sense of self worth and ego to ever ban. Look at all the fat ***** who like to play commando over there and own enough guns for a small town. Its sad and pathetic but it plays into their power fantasy that if someone came into their homes they would go all John Wayne on them and be a hero.

That was because the shooter managed to chain the main doors shut before he went on his rampage. They were sitting ducks.

I like to think our forefathers would have burned them somehow. Shame they didn't sink the boat tbh.

Simple, add another "amendment"
I wish you would stop defending the indefensible.

Many things people take for granted now were amendments to old laws

It would significantly reduce the severity of the injuries, being shot with a pistol is far more survivable than being shot by a rifle.
What I Saw Treating the Victims From Parkland Should Change the Debate on Guns
They weren’t the first mass-shooting victims the Florida radiologist saw—but their wounds were radically different.

I can see the argument for pistols for self defence and bolt action rifles for hunting.
What do they need semi auto, high capacity, rifles for?
