That is Obama's fault. If legislation proposed was what people wanted then he could get things passed. Since he lives in a fantasy world where he's proposing things no one wants, he shouldnt be shocked that nothing passes fast enough or even at all.

What money is going to defense and killing people? I want more money sent to military to make our country a mighty super power and ready for any future wars on terrorism. Spending money on gun control reform is a waste of money that is going away from military spending.
I also dont see any democrat politicians actually getting meaningful gun control measures passed. In fact I see the opposite, guns allowed on college campuses and dorms, etc seem to be gaining traction.
Who is snapping though? All of these major gun events are people who planned these things out. They didn't snap. It is clearly a people issue. Gun opponents ought to propose more in the way of teaching acceptance and peace, not on teaching a ban on guns.
How is it Obama's fault if what he proposed gets blocked only because republicans don't like black presidents or democrats? From certain researches, the things Obama has proposed are popular or the same thing republicans have suggested (I think Affordable Care Act was one of them?), but because it's Obama, republicans will oppose it. It's funny that you bring up Obama living in a fantasy world though as you're the one who lives in a fantasy world, based on the stuff you've said in this thread. I'm pretty sure Obama could propose a popular legislation that's good for the country, but the politicians would oppose it and then blame Obama.
The money that's being spend on defense and warfare are being used to kill people and put arms in the hands of terrorists, or future terrorists that are on our side for now because of similar interests. If you want to waste more money on military, then you shouldn't whine about paying more taxes. Spending money on gun control reform would be a better use of money as it'd keep Americans safer from Americans. It scares me you think spending money to stop murder is waste.
Likely because many of them are in the pockets of the gun/weapons industry and because republicans/conservatives get too crazy about wanting more guns. Though, I'm sure many democrats regardless love guns too.
A lot of these mass shootings haven't been planned out that well, people snapped and decided to murder people. This may be a people issue, but guns are clearly part of the problem. I don't get why gun lovers are so blind to the fact that guns make it easier to kill multiple people. I'd like to see someone try to kill multiple people with knives or fists or bats as opposed to a gun.
But people use cars to kill people either being distracted by text messaging and fiddling with music or passengers or getting drunk. If we use your logic, then the best means of prevention of car deaths is to keep cars out the hands of people who are at risk to themselves and others. Meaning, no cars for anyone that is a cell phone user, a person who may have passengers including their family, and lastly, anyone who has a radio or gps unit in their car. You see how silly this is, its the same for how silly it is to prevent access to guns to people.
I disagree people buy these recreational devices for fun on shooting grounds or other places for game and inland fishieries. No one in their right mind buys a gun to shoot people.
Theres numerous cases and stories in which people have ran over people with cars at parades.
They don't use cars to kill people, those are accidents. But there's a fundamental difference that you're overlooking: CARS ARE USED TO TRANSPORT PEOPLE, GUNS ARE USED TO HURT OR END LIVES
But yes, that's a great way to reduce fatalities from cars. People who have a history of breaking rules or something should not be allowed to drive, at least drunk drivers and reckless drivers. Your comparison and examples are sillier than preventing bad people from getting guns.
No, many people get guns to shoot living things, whether deers, humans, or even foxes. Many may use it for recreational devices, but plenty people use it to hurt or end lives.
And how many of those people have died? And how often have drivers ran over people at parades or in general?
