    Given the US' laws protect responsible gun owners, I guess we need to conclude this was a responsible mass murder. Comments please, gun lovers?

    I'm disgruntled, and I own a gun. That gives me certain rights.

    Conservative commentators must be happy;
    * The shooter was female
    * The shooter had a "funny, foreign name" and uploaded anti-Farsi videos and apparently an anti-anal one - so, Americanised
    * The shooter legally aquired a gun, and
    * The shooter was doing it in favour of money

    This should be a "see, guys, the laws work" moment for the Right?

    We need to get to the bottom of this and find out the truth.

    I'd join you, but I'm afraid I might get in over my head.

    Now this is how you pander to your misinformed voting base

    A group of Republican state legislators in South Carolina introduced a measure Thursday that would allow the state to secede from the United States if the federal government began to seize legally purchased firearms in the state.

    My family lost land, in South Carolina, after the Civil War - if they secede, can I get it back?!

    Why shouldn’t they? That worked great for them the first time they did it.

    Marjory Stoneman Douglas teacher who advocated for armed educators left his loaded gun in a public restroom stall.
    The U.S.'s housing problem, substance abuse problem and gun problem all rolled into one!

    Also, here is an opinion piece about U.S. guns being smuggled south into Mexico.
    But they can totally make their own guns you guyz.

    What do you think would be the result of Mexico making gun ownership legal? Would it make things better or worse?

    You know what I think.

    Gun manufacturers no longer having to hide from questions on how criminal cartels have no problem getting guns that they manufacture?

    I know that's just humor. Or an attempt at it. Millennials and their mixed senses of humor and irony...

    But the question, spelled out for the impaired: Would it make Mexico more or less violent?

    It doesn't make us happy. Other than the fact that it died a quick death, newswise, because it didn't fit the narrative.

    Guns are legal in Mexico. The Mexican constitution guarantees the right to bear arms. It just doesn't mean that literally anyone is allowed to purchase military-grade weaponry without so much as a background check.

    You'd know this if you bothered to learn about other countries before commenting on them.

    Really? I just assume every time they see a preventable shooting, American gun owners - who are pieces of ****, in objective terms - must get a stiffy that someone was executed for Freedom. Because, you know, they're despicable human beings, those gun owners.

    That just promotes the best line of idiot reasoning ever.

    "Guns make things done have been safer!"
    Ok, but the US is ridiculously unsafe and people who subscribe to your viewpoint on gun control are the ones legally buying firearms for mass shootings.
    "That's because only criminals done have guns!"
    Yes but they're not criminals when they walk into ****ing Walmart and buy them, are they? They're buying them legally.
    "That's because gun control don't work."
    *Doesn't, but that's also not what you're saying. You're saying guns make things safer, but they're not. There's empirical evidence which directly contradicts your point.
    "Mmmhmm yes but we have to oppose government teeee-ranny."
    Like gun control?
    "Yessir."
    Which would make guns harder to access.
    "Yessir"
    Which would stop the mass shootings perpetuated by legally purchased firearms?
    "Well, no, you done see this is a RIGHT, you see, it's my RIGHT..."
