Discussion Gun control

[M3J]

Come on, that is clearly a cop out. With such a twisted logic no one is ever going to be responsible for any gun related crimes. Wouldn't the guns the kid used be illegal the second he stole them from his dad? I don't suppose the kid was a trained assassin with perfect accuracy meaning he simply stole from his dad enough firepower to kill more than 10 people. A shotgun and several other guns IIRC. Gun control is about reducing the amount of guns within a society... Imagine if that kid had shown up to school with even half the guns he did. Or he didn't have any to steal to begin with. All guns start out as legal. It's literally and specifically because there are so many legal guns that there are so many illegal guns.

And to add to that, the freaking kid had a 20 minute confrontation with the police... Why did it take 20 minutes to deal with one asshole kid? This is a school that presumably had at least most of the stuff gun rights activists say a school should have to prevent things like this. And yet not even the police could deal with this guy quickly.

How is that a cop out? The dad would still have bought the guns legally if he was competent, not the kid. How would gun control laws have helped, unless it made an official make sure the guns were out of reach and locked up properly?

Gun control is about making sure that only responsible and low-threat people are are allowed to buy guns and making sure that they continue to be responsible and safe. You likely won't see the amount of guns out there decreasing, not anytime soon. That is an excellent point though, given people steal guns and all.

Because he was a white person, and cops usually try not to kill or hurt a white person. If he was black or Muslim, he'd have been killed or at least shot at on sight.

- fear of the government/strangers/rapists/murderers/terrorists/other people with guns
- indisputable necessity of laws made over 200 years ago

Im in the next county over from the noblesville school shooting with the middle school teacher who tackled the middle schooler shooter who almost wrecked havoc on the school, pretty surreal when these events are happening so close by.
