Anyone seen or heard about this yet:

http://www.redflagnews.com/headlines-2015/active-shooter-reported-at-oregon-college-at-least-20-victims-reported

It's still a developing story and shooter is still at large. 20 fatalities reported already.

I heard it was 10 fatalities from CBS news.

It says on website that it's a developing story and you can refresh the page every few minutes to get updates.

This says 15 killed and over 20 injured.

*sigh*... You libs never learn do you? We've already talked about that shit ad nauseum. This shooting doesn't change anything that's been repeated again and yet again by those of us who support our God-given right to bear arms and defend ourselves. Nor would an incident like this happening everyday for the next year. Give it up.

yyyyyyyyyyyyup!

Someone should let Star know that gun rights are not "God-given", they're given by the government, like many other rights and can be taken away.

Gun control was actually always something I was in favor for. And after seeing this, I feel even stronger.

Hell, I'll be honest as someone who's been around guns his whole life, I wouldn't mind it if all guns disappeared. But I understand that it just isn't practical or even possible. But shootings like this just makes me wish it was.

Sadly, this is one problem that I can't find a solid solution for. I think of ways that one can keep guns 100% away from criminals or the mentally disturbed and I draw a blank.

Of course, mental health tests that would prevent guns from falling into the hands of mentally disturbed individuals would be a start. I am also not averse to banning guns altogether (like they have in Japan),

I also considered devices on legal guns that can prevent them from being fired in specific areas where it becomes extremely illegal to remove them.

Of course, all these are easily bypassed. A determined killer could just get his guns illegally, most probably modified to remove "restriction locks" that I mentioned above.

So yeah, blank. Open to suggestions.

No but that's the emotional reaction everybody expects from you the minute this was reported. Was going to say "queue gun control discussion" right before I saw your post. Yes, we need tighter gun control, everybody knows.

Libs quick on the carcass about gun control.
They're not even cold yet, you dogs.

I don't think everybody knows. There seems to be a large amount of people, including many politicians, who don't know, or if they know, choose to go against that knowledge.

It's actually incidents like this that make our second amendment right to bear arms even more important. 👆

The thing is if we don't talk about gun control for a week after a shooting spree, we'll never talk about gun control.
