In Singapore itis illegal to own a gun. In New Zealand you have to ask the government for permission to own a gun. If you own a gun you must have two gun safes. One for the gun and one for the ammunition. From what i understand, that has all but eliminated mass shootings in that country. There are many compromises within this article. Ban "assault style" weapons, ban large capacity magazines and rapid fire weapons and devices that make a gun rapid fire. None of these eliminate the second amendment. Keep the second amendment.

There has got to be compromise. I am sorry to say: until there is a will, then stop wasting my time. Accept that we are not as civilized as we would like to think. Accept that, that daily mass shootings are part of he American daily life. It is who we are..........until we are ready to do something about it. The time is now !
Good suggestions.


Maybe they also need a number like 911 for people who suspect someone is about to go off the deep end. Not 911 though. Something manned by social workers trained in psychology. And a number that has very calm people who see a swatting like incident for what it is. Given the "crooked timber of humanity" you have to prepare for things going wrong.
