  1. All Americans, in particular republicans, who lost someone or was injured themselves had it coming. That is was you get for your gun laws, a diets that leave most of you mentally ill, not making education equally available to everyone, celebrating social gaps, and beeing religious fanatics.

  2. How can any so called " human being" shoot a child with such a high power weapon, one after another. And the little survivors had to see those dead bodies.
    How can they ever return to school?
    This is the type of damage you see it WAR
    I hurt for those children

  3. When the Army's new M5 rifle (the M16's replacement) becomes widely available on the civilian market, these massacres will get much worse. It's round has about twice the power of an M16/AR15 round with a similar fire rate. It's round is designed to penetrate body armor. Just a heads up, it's about to get a lot worse because the Republicans will certainly not stop these tragedies from happening. How many of them ever stop to think that maybe the Second Amendment needs to be updated for the advanced weaponry available in the 21st century that our founding fathers had no idea would be invented.

  4. Just a note here on massacres and victim count.
    Rank 1. Paddock in Las Vegas 60 dead
    Rank 2. Christchurch NZ mosques shooter 50 dead
    Rank 3. Orlando nightclub shooter 49 dead
    Rank 4. Port Arthur Australia shooter 35 dead
    The second and fourth highest victim death count were both done by Australians.
    The second highest was done in 2019 long after firearms ban and with AR style rifles, and the shooter was Australian Queensland licensed.

  5. A civilian, especially an 18 yr old shouldn’t be able to purchase or own such a dangerous weapon than can spray dozens of rounds in a minute. That’s her point! If you criticized her argument trying to sound all knowledgeable about guns you ought to be ashamed of yourself because she made her case about what those specific bullets do to your body organs/tissue.

    *Nobody is trying to take your ordinary guns away except stop their worship. Assault rifles though, yes those can and should be taken away from civilian use.

  6. ER physicians…they all know..
    They are overtraumatized every day…
    They show up everyday to use their incredible skills…
    So, I'm of the thought that these wounds have to be shown at every NRA meeting, all " Patriots" meetings etc…
    So yes, damage is the purpose.
    Think about….

  7. Handguns are considered assassin's weapons and in most other countries with gun control you will have a better chance getting a assault rifle but you will have to live in a rural area to do so even those folk won't be licensed for handguns there is no purpose for them other than murder is the train of thought here they aren't for hunting

  8. Maybe it's time to start showing the pictures of the children's injuries on TV. The damage to their faces & bodies. The people who have to mop up the blood and brains off the school floors. Stop sugar coating it & let people see what it really looks like. Maybe then, change will be made.

  9. Honestly I think one of the GOP’s strategies is to keep citizens and more specifically MAGA cultists armed with weapons of war so in the event of an armed insurrection or even civil war the death toll will be high.

  10. The odds of you being a victim of a mass shooting is very rare and the vast majority of murders by firearms are by handguns. The problem isn't guns ,it's lack of security the vast majority of mass shootings happens in gun free zones. we gather 800 kids into one building with no metal detectors or armed guard knowing evil exists and expect them to be safe. But if we hand a building full of cash or just a court house there is security everywhere. But I bet yall support the Ukrainian civilians having ak47s and ar15s because you see first hand why the second amendment was created to fight against a tyrannical governments foreign or domestic.
