    At eight years old I got my first 22 cal. rifle and was taught the proper handling and use of guns. Here I am 58 years later and none of my weapons have ever hurt anyone. It's not the guns it's the society surrounding us!!!

      My grandfather took me hunting when I was seven. Gave me an unloaded rifle to carry with him so he could show me the proper and responsible way to handle it. Didn't let me have it loaded to hunt with him until I had mastered those skills. Likewise never shot anyone.

      I think you are right. Do away with police and disarm the public so that all of the criminals that they have let out of prison can do whatever they want and a lot of them with guns. It would just make illegal gun sales more popular. Let's face it, seriously doubt that the drug lords and criminals get their guns through the process of having a background check.

    One thing that is missing here is if we go back to the 1950s-1970s, we had a real mental health system in this country. But our state governors shut it down because it was so expensive. Back in the late 1960s, I watched my mother, a county social worker director, send off dozens of mentally ill people to state mental hospitals. Most of them were sent for an evaluation and if they failed, they stayed there for a long time. No early releases. Now we are seeing the results of decades of refusing to deal with mental health, shutting down state hospitals, and setting the crazy back on the streets.

    That cycle you showed Greg is exactly right. Broken home->Broken person->Broken school->Broken media->Repeat…
    Then the lack of mental health facilities. I live in a fairly wealthy area and there’s only one state run facility that’s pretty good and does except some ppl for free into the rehab program, but the rest of it and outpatient services after the rehab is expensive if you don’t have insurance. And for the outpatient services, they expect ppl to show up 3 days per week at $75 per visit, plus you pay for your meds(which they now have onsite), but the times to be there are 8-11am or 1-4pm which takes 9 hours of work away from ppls jobs not including drive time and $225 per week… They really need some better options than that

College age people are completely ignorant of American History of their responsibility to society. Most have never done anything in their life to contribute to society. They sit around and play killer video games and wait free stuff! This generation eats Tide Pods, blame others for their own failures and cry if they don't get their way! Yes!

    I argue that a devoted father is even more important for the child and his/her development than a devoted mother.

I know that can be achieved through a father just the same. There is a nothing a mother can be that a father can't be, but it's rare to find a mother than can be all that a father would be.
    Of course, two parents is the ideal, and the breakdown of the traditional family unit is our downfall. Just a response to that whole "father's aren't necessary" liberal mindset.

      ​@@gregorymckinney666it is the role of politicians (Republicans and Democrats) to implement the means to make weapons difficult to access even for criminals. But they have to continually fundraise for their election campaign so they don't have time to devote to the real issues of us Americans. and then the Republicans would lose NRA funding.
      and then the more weapons there are in circulation, the easier the weapons made available to criminals.

      Already solving the problem of weapons which ultimately is the simplest! in this way we will avoid giving the means to massacre! As a reminder, in 1994, Bill Clinton passed a law banning assault weapons. Thanks to this, mass shootings have dropped by 43%. In 2004, the Republican Congress let that ban expire, and almost immediately mass shootings increased by 239%.
      After restricting access to weapons, we will tackle the other causes of this American passion for mass shootings.

      when does tyranny begin? to read some here or elsewhere the current government is already tyrannical! so what are they waiting for to sound the revolt? Tomorrow the government (more probably republican than democratic) of the USA decides because you displease them politically (it would be the only reason) to eliminate you. What will you do ? will you barricade yourselves in your houses with your weapons? how long will you last? who will come to defend you? nobody. Your argument does not hold water, but it serves the objective of the arms dealers and you fall into the trap.
