The Dayton murderer was suspended when in high school for putting together a "hit list" and a "rape list". This dude was obviously sick, he's the type of person that should NOT legally own a gun.
The El Paso murderer made threatening and hate-filled and racists posts on social media. This dude was obviously sick, he's the type of person that should NOT legally own a gun.
Although I've talked about buying a gun, I still don't own one. My two close friends that own multiple guns are responsible owners. They use gun safes, they shoot on gun ranges or when hunting, when they're carrying (legally) they tell us. One of them tells us he won't carry around us if we're uncomfortable with it. These are the people that represent the OVERWHELMINGLY VAST MAJORITY OF GUN OWNERS, and their guns should never be taken from them.
We need practical and real solutions, not superficial political bullshit.
Ive owned guns for over 20 years, and Ive never once even thought about randomly shooting people. Has to be something really wrong with them to even consider, much less carry out such an act.
