[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]I am 100% for banning the sale of assault rifles and making it much harder to purchase any weapon, but the reality is this won’t actually prevent these shootings. It just won’t. [/b]These mass shootings are planned. These murderers can and will plot and patiently wait to pull it together. Mass shootings have happened in states like CA where it is more difficult to purchase a gun.

Mental healthcare is important, but it won’t be enough either. The parents of the recent TN shooter were on top of their kid’s mental health. Nonetheless…

We need to find a way for people who are truly worried about individuals to flag them so they can’t access guns and any weapons they already have can be taken away. Sadly, even that isn’t foolproof.

And remember: while mass shootings are the most terrifying since anyone could be at the wrong place at the wrong time, most shootings are suicides and individual run of the mill violence. Both tend to involve basic hand guns.

It’s all bad. The genie is out of the bottle. There’s no easy solution. [/quote]

If banning weapons won't prevent these shootings, what is the point of banning them?[/quote]

It might work. Might as well try. Why not try?

Perhaps ask why anyone should have access to assault weapons?

There’s no legit purpose. All it does is create the opportunity for mayhem. [/quote]

This. Will it prevent all mass shootings? No. Will it prevent some? Definitely. [/quote]
