This is what happens when the Republicon legislators and governor allow guns to be everywhere and with no restrictions. Prayers and hugs do nothing to stop this. We need policy and laws.
Molly, you are only showing your ignorance by making a comment as such. Spare us your stupidity.
Jason you are only showing your ignorance by making a comment as such. Spare us your stupiity. The FACTS are that more guns = more gun deaths. The states with more guns have more gun deaths. The states with low rates of guns have few gun deaths. There is no reason for anyone to have a military assault rifle unless they are in the military. There is no reason for anyone to have large magazines of bullets. If you are a hunter and you have an AR-15 you don't know what you are doing. If you want a gun to defend yourself, you don't need a military assault rifle.
mam , 2nd amendment is for protecting our family and form a tyrannical govt , which if you are paying attention we have .. notice also all these shootings happen in "gun Free Zones" . ... and almost all of them are on psychotropic medication "SSRI's"
