    How about having all those safety nets in place and regulated guns? Just an idea…

      I’m fine with adding in the safety nets, they’ll do 100xs more than any regulation you put in place will do. I’m not ok giving over a monopoly on force to people like the current Republicans. Why any of you think that’s a good idea is just insane.

        How does regulating guns so this sort of thing doesn’t happen again give Republicans a monopoly on force?

        You think the only way to even out the odds is to keep guns in the hands of dangerously mentally ill people? Really?

          Because the only way for shit like this to not happen in your world of gun regulation, requires a total ban.

          And a total ban gives whoever is in charge of the government a monopoly on force.

          People like you will call Republicans nazis and fascist…then want to remove any force multiplier from civs and then pray they don’t get elected. You’re naive at best and ignorant at worse.

            The only way to stop severely mentally ill people from obtaining guns is a total ban? Are you absolutely sure about that? There’s no regulation out that that would mitigate the problem?

                By putting them on a red flag list after they’ve been put on a psych hold. It’s not that difficult.

                  Cool, that’s already in place, and the Maine shooter still killed people. Dude was known all over the place to LE and still was armed.

        Wtf are you going to do here, go out shooting them or some bullshit? You really think you have any chance against the feds regardless of what side you swing for? That sounds pretty crazy to me. So let’s get real and understand your guns are for recreation not safety against tyranny.

          Vietnam, Afghanistan, Iraq all want a word with your complete lack of how wars are fought now.

          Also your neighbor is a gun owner, so when they bomb his house your shit is getting pushed in as well.
