gun control is about getting guns off the street and not letting them be sold in the first place.

Well that's a non-starter.

Come up with an idea that doesn't punish ME for something some criminal did, and then we can talk. But as long as your solution is to punish the people who aren't breaking laws, then I'm going to fight you every step of the way.

That's like me demanding your car be impounded because someone in Kansas drove drunk last night and killed a family in a car crash. Same exact logic. You don't like guns. I get that. No one is forcing you to own one. But you don't get to force others to bend to your will.

‘No Way To Prevent This,’ Says Only Nation Where This Regularly Happens

In the days following a violent rampage in southern California in which a lone attacker killed seven individuals, including himself, and seriously injured over a dozen others, citizens living in the only country where this kind of mass killing routinely occurs reportedly concluded Tuesday that there was no way to prevent the massacre from taking place. “This was a terrible tragedy, but sometimes these things just happen and there’s nothing anyone can do to stop them,” said North Carolina resident Samuel Wipper, echoing sentiments expressed by tens of millions of individuals who reside in a nation where over half of the world’s deadliest mass shootings have occurred in the past 50 years and whose citizens are 20 times more likely to die of gun violence than those of other developed nations. “It’s a shame, but what can we do? There really wasn’t anything that was going to keep this guy from snapping and killing a lot of people if that’s what he really wanted.” At press time, residents of the only economically advanced nation in the world where roughly two mass shootings have occurred every month for the past five years were referring to themselves and their situation as “helpless.”

My heart is broken for this child and her mother. I just can’t imagine. I’m just so sad.

Testosterone selfish rage coupled by a lack of a soul.

Very very sad.

I agree with most of what you said except the bolded. I have a 6yo child. If I lived across the street from the perpetrators, I would have to think carefully about reporting them. I wouldn't want them to find out that I was the one who reported them. Also, many of these folks probably don't have the means to pick up and move, so I'd worry about my life and that of my child being in danger if they decide to retaliate.

NP. Not a good excuse/explanation. You can drop an anonymous dime in many ways.

PP again. People talk. The culprits may try to narrow down who "snitched" and start confronting people. It's trickier than you suggest.

A child is dead. It's really not that hard/expensive to move, however poor you are or however many roots you have in an area.

Um this occurred near housing projects. No, it’s not that easy for most people to move in this situation.

DC has great recreation, school, and health resources for low income people. Moving isn’t necessarily a good idea.

And they be moving to another similar area . Get a clue?

Oh god you are SO RIGHT—it’s why I’m fighting back against the government not allowing me to bring bombs on airplanes. Total bullshit that I can’t just because some people bombed planes in the past, why PUNISH ME???

It’s laughable that people would post and advocate for gun control of the general law abiding public and would refuse to come forward and tell their witness account and actually punish the bad people with the guns. Do you see how incredibly stupid you sound? Do you?

How dumb can you be to believe this. Yep, everyone can just up and move, limitless funds and options.
Ignorance is an epidemic

Give me a freakin' break. No, gun control is like requiring seatbelts. Gun control is like recalling defective cars. Gun control is like requiring licences and forbidding drunk driving. Gun control is like speed limits. And on and on and on.

False equivalency. Terrible argumentation style. Utter lack of compassion.

The poster clearly stated the purpose of gun control was to stop the sale of guns.

Laws requiring seatbelts, recalling defective cars and outlawing drunk driving weren't used to prevent cars from being sold at all.

I noticed you didn't refute it. You just insulted the PP, and left it at that.

Of course they are. Defective cars can't be sold. Cars must be inspected. Cars must obey speed limits and all other traffic laws. Cars can't be used in unsafe ways. The government heavily regulates (CONTROLS) cars and driving. Similarly the government could heavily restrict ownership, sale, and use of guns.

Really? Because I think that PP made a great analogy. We place complete prohibitions on conduct and products that are inherently dangerous in many ways. Doesn't matter how responsible you think you are; you still can't have lawn darts.
