Enough is enough. I can’t hear the lies anymore.

They were probably sobs of joy because she can’t stand listening to you and your one sided point of view on a daily basis. Friends don’t need to agree on everything in life, they just need to be respectful when they disagree. Sounds like you need work on the respect part, your friend will be just fine without you.

No one needs to "agree" with sociopaths. It's not not a life skill. Yours is not an opinion, but instead it's derangement. Don't YOU DARE try to normalize your dangerous "opinion." It's not an opinion, you are just a horrible person. And you need to know that. That former friend needed to know that.
It's time to say NO.

The opinion that Americans have the right to bear arms, and that right is Constitutionally protected, is a mainstream and normal view in the US. Your hysterics notwithstanding.

You’re calling over half of American households sociopaths because they believe in a constitutional God given right to self protection. You can disagree on the details but again it does nothing to further your argument. The whole “violence will stop when people care more about their children then their guns” is the kind of garbage argument that makes the anti gun crowd feel good while legislators know it’s an issue that can’t be touched. We care about 2A because we love and desire to protect the health and welfare of our children, plain and simple. Let’s debate the details, sure. I think the firearm purchase age will nationally go to 21. Will this stop the horrible decline of human decency in America right now? No.

Only about 30 percent of Americans own a gun. Your beliefs are extremist.

Stop blaming republicans. They didn't kill those kids. This was a very troubled young man who didn't get the help he needed from his parents/family, school and community. Lets start there.

You don't understand how this works do you. There are lots of troubled young men, here, and alm over the world- but they kill when they have access to AR15s and other weapons.

You, and those like you, are the reason children are killed. He was the shooter, but he had enablers like people who vote for these things.

Or the people who blame guns when his mental illness was the true problem. How could those in his life, teachers, parents etc have allowed him to run amuck? There is accountability and it has nothing to do with guns. But you keep toting the same old argument, it’s not the problem. Oh, and cops need to be in schools armed and ready to kill. This no gun zone bs killed those kids. Wake the f up people.

Nope. It's you, f*ed up NRA crazies. Did you vote for universal health care and 100% coverage of mental care? I bet you didn't.

I don’t believe in universal health care because I don’t want the government controlling my health care. And for the record I am not a member of the nra. Just don’t believe guns are the problem. If an ass like this monster could not get a gun he would have used something else. Maybe he would’ve killed fewer, but he would still find a way to cause harm.

Bottom line is that 2A secures every other right we have in this country. I love my husband, children, parents and community just as much as anyone else on this thread and their safety and security is my #1 priority.

Self protection cannot be just for the wealthy and connected. All Americans are by right entitled to such protection.

Gun violence in America is due to the downfall of the American family, lack of religious upbringing, schools providing “safe spaces” instead of encouraging and supporting honest discourse. Our little snowflakes simply cannot cope. They are self harming, killing themselves and in this most horrific case, killing the most innocent of lives.

This. Shock -- Democrats in the South and rural areas in the rest of the countryu own guns and also belong to the NRA.

NRA membership is waaaaay down. They are almost entirely supported by gun manufacturers and Russian money. If you are a member of the NRA, you support child killing. And you also are supportive of Russian money buying our politicians.

Republicans armed that kid and therefore are responsible for the children's deaths. Period. Sorry if that hurts your feelings. If you vote Republican, you support the killing of children.

Assault weapons are already banned. And semi-automatic firearms cover pretty much every firearm.

If you’re going to talk about this, at least learn the terms.

Lol they never can get that part right...

The most annoying thing is they can’t be bothered to educate themselves about simple things like what, say, is the difference between a civilian AR-15 and its military equivalent.

Enough with the drama. She doesn't need someone like you in her life.

Oh, it's an issue. A BIG one. Certainly there are additional issues, but it is not at all dramatic to take serious issue with anyone who associated with them. - NP

The issue is our culture and parenting.

x1000 Blaming guns for gun violence is like blaming cars for drunk drivers who kill people.

Right, because when people are depressed, they get in a car drunk and ram into a school or shopping center or anywhere and kill people all the time right?

No, they kill people in accidents. Meanwhile, Mothers Against Drunk Driving got every DD law in the books. There weren't any. And it saved a lot of lives. We will do it here.

Again...you.are.an.idiot.
