    That would depend on what you mean by reasonable.

    Reasonable would involve reforms to better screen mentally unstable people. Not much beyond that is reasonable.

    He didn’t say all mass. shootings, only the vast majority. That means a small number are committed by people who purchased a weapon legally.

    I just thought someone needed to point out the obvious to you.

    I was wondering how long it would be before another tired, old, "let's take away all the guns" solution would be offered on-line?
    Normally it is within hours.

    None that generate the thread realize guns have triggers and sights designed for PEOPLE to use them to kill effectively.

    This would mean if people were killed, then a human person would have to be responsible.
    Yet as the murderer is dragged away by cops, they look at the dropped gun and blame it.

    This is why their "solution" will never work and has never worked and the problem is still here.

    The problem is our society is morally decayed and the mentally unstable use the internet to get radicalized enough to kill.

    These killings will continue until we actually see this real problem.

    We have to fix our moral decay with civility between us.
    Will anyone make the vow with me to do just that?
    Beginning with our on-line behavior.

    My brain is my deadliest weapon. If "they" drive up and take them all away, I will see liberty in this country is dead and so is our bill of rights.
    Those pieces of woods & steel are merely tools. I can get more.

    It takes true courage to extend a hand to those of opposite political lean and search for the real problem and cause of all these shootings. If they truly want a solution, then let's find one.

    Gun Control is such a beaten down dead horse I think its hooves are the only thing visible on it anymore.
    Yet some get on that same hamster wheel and go round and round every time it happens.

    It is the " every time it happens " that is the problem.
    These mass killings are happening all over the place and we need to find out why.

    ...and it ain't the guns CAUSING them.
    We need the find the CAUSE....if we are to stop them.

    Take a look at the over prescribed mental health drugs, many of which come with black box warnings indicating that the medication may cause psychosis, suicidal ideation, and homicidal thoughts. Most if not all of these mass shooters were either on them or had just stop taking them.

    I thought it was your side that's put a ban on gun legislation?

    Pushing back against the anti second amendment crowd isn't placing a ban on gun legislation. It is resisting attempts to enacting a ban.
