How about this...BAN ALL ASSAULT WEAPONS. THEY ARE MADE FOR THE MILITARY. THEY CAN'T BE USED FOR HUNTING, SPORT SHOOTING OR ANTHING OTHER THAN SHOOTING TO KILL AS MANY VICTIMS IN AS SHORT A TIME AS POSSIBLE.WE ARE THE ONLY COUNTRY IN THE WORLD WHO HAS THIS PROBLEM HAPPEN ALL THE TIME.

Another thing many like to cherry pick….”Chicago with the strongest gun laws…” Strong gun laws mean nothing in overall statistics, when anyone can drive a few miles to another nearby state and get their weapons with less strict gun laws. Thereby, cancelling out any statistical value to one small area having strict gun laws. It becomes irrelevant, unless all are following the same strict laws. Like our forefathers implied, I’m all for every citizen of the USA to carry a musket. No problem at all. I am against any citizen owning a gun that enables them to kill “faster” without reloading using bullets that explode inside a persons body Lessing their survivability, and it decapitating childrens heads. This type of weaponry is absurd to be accessible by someone not trained and lack maturity to handle them. |

So, if the shooting numbers aren’t due to people with legal guns, what is your solution to the issue?

Now, for you, how do you explain that 7 of the top 10 states for murder rates have are Red states with the least gun control, and 3 of the top 10 have the strictest gun control? |

And how many "illegal immigrants" have been involved in mass shootings? Just curious. |

I object to the generalized casting character of America and what she is and who lives there and what they do based on a current incident.....and in the current climate....shootings are the "measure".....only because all too many do nothing more than parrot the media (and their agenda).
We Americans as a whole are not what the media and the parrots prefer to portray!! |

We have a social medical ( not private as in USA) and pension system (just like your SS system) which we pay for in taxes etc. We are as capitalist as USA in our business dealings, and nearly all other services are private businesses, and like the US, we get no free dinners! You really need to update your take on Socialism, Communism and Capitalism statements. |

I see some very good responses to this question, which in my opinion is not a political issue but a social issue. But the NRA and its adherents turned it into a political one.
Face it, folks, we were born in violence and we are dying in violence. We had a bloody Civil War during which half a million combatants were killed -- more than all the rest of our wars put together. And it seems we are moving in that direction now unless some sanity returns to our leaders and the fighting stops. People need to realize that our leaders set an example that subconsciously affects the people they serve and when you have leaders that are mentally ill, you get what we have now. |

21.5 Million concealed carry permits. These are the guns which are legally carried outside the home. 45 states have open carry, however it is rare to see folks carrying openly in public.
Maybe if more people carried there would be fewer criminals willing to attempt public gun crimes... My personal belief is we all have a personal responsibility for our own safety. |

To control the shootings and decrease crime, elect/appoint DAs who will prosecute crime. Get a tighter control on immigration. Realize that diversity on its own is not automatically a positive. Bringing in people from diverse backgrounds is great, but if they do not melt into one people it is not. Countries with a national character, homogenous countries like Japan have lower crime. Punishing law abiding people in the name of increased safety is not something I am willing to accept. |
