Americans are NOT bad people which is even why it’s even more perplexing that they are allowing this.  [/quote]

We are pretty selfish. But what I don’t understand is why all these “family first” republicans are not afraid this could happen at their own child’s school. Or they are, but their career comes first so they are willing to roll the dice? [/quote]

I think the Republicans are just brain-washed and filled with propaganda.  But they have always had a “this would never happen to me” attitude about everything.  [/quote]

We are afraid.  Go ahead, raise age to buy AR 15s to 21.  I think unfortunately, kids like Ramos will find another weapon.  Because we have a Constitution with a 2nd Amendment, eventually we will have to roll up our sleeves and get serious about why kids are doing this.  Why didn't this happen all the time in the 80s?  Why now? What is the cause?  How are we growing these monsters.[/quote]

Because the shooters nowadays were the kids growing up seeing it happen. Adults also over the last few decades. We didn’t grow up seeing mass shootings on tv everyday in the 70s or 80s, it wasn’t a thing. It wasn’t acceptable. There is a generation that has seen this and interpreted it as the way to act out in this world. [/quote]

But it’s not happening in the world - just our country.  The kids in England, for example, are brought up on American news, American games, American TV and movies, and there are no mass shooting there.  Those kids are the same as US kids but they just don’t have access to guns. [/quote]

They are the acid attacks capital of the world.[/quote]

OMG, you’re an idiot!! There are no mass casualties “acid attacks” in other countries! [/quote]

Hey "idiot" - where did I say "mass casualties acid attacks?"  I did not.  Thus, you are the idiot.  I said acid attacks.  Acid attacks aren't trivial either.  [/quote]

Show me an acid attack that killed 21 elementary school students.   [/quote]

Or an acid attack where the cops didn’t sit outside waiting until it was over because they were too afraid of the acid.

The cops know exactly how deadly these guns are.

[/quote]

Instead of using rhetoric to call cops cowards, why not focus on the commonsense fact that none of us is safe when anyone can buy assault weapons that are more deadly than what cops carry?

It might be a more effective advocacy strategy.

1. Raise the age. 
2. Require a background check, training and licensing (all of which should take time/months). 
3. Ban the sale of assault weapons and bump stocks.

It won’t prevent all future tragedies, but it’s a commonsense approach that most Americans support.

Pretty sure the guy who shot up Philly last night just used a handgun. And he was over 18. [/quote]
