Look at this here:
Moonshadow said she tried to attend to a victim she saw lying on the pavement outside the store, but her son pulled her away, telling her, 'We have to go.'" She broke down in sobs recounting their ordeal, adding, "I couldn't help anybody."
A lot of people would have been running for their lives, she stops to help someone else.
This is a real human being, people.
My deepest sympathies to the Boulder, CO shooting victims and their families.
President Skeletor wants to use this event to try to ban “assault weapons and high capacity magazines” as if this will solve anything.
It won’t.
Firearms of any model, brand, size, nomenclature, or capacity aren’t the problem.
Crazy and psychotic people are.

Gun violence and mass shouting are worldwide.America just has the high score, unfortunately.
The news media reports what they want to report to fuel their agenda.
And I mean, thugs with guns are everywhere. Somalia had kids with guns, for crying out loud.
Mexican drug cartels, Columbian drug lords, Isis.. Plenty of far more violent places.
"Colorado suspect got assault weapon 6 days before shooting" -snip
Yeah, why was a guy with a history of mental illness and violent outburst allowed to purchase a gun, let alone an assault rifle at all. There's an issue America needs to work on.

I'm referring to 1st world nations, if that wasn't clear enough. The UK, Europe, New Zealand etc. Where this problem has mostly be solved, by banning firearms.Obviously there is nothing to be gained from comparing the US to Somalia.
Comparing UK to US: 66.65 million people vs 328.2 million, for starters.
Two states have more people then the UK. Many states don't have this problem, and the ones that do are still relatively rare incidents.
The real fatalities don't come from mass shootings, they're from suicides and personal disputes (Whether gang related or not)
And I'll be honest, I support ones right to end their life.

That can be adjusted for via per capita, as in a "per 100,000 people" and similar.
I wonder if this guy would had been flagged and barred from buying a gun had Trump/Republicans not reversed Obama's rule to the NICS in 2017.
Originally posted by cdtmIf we're looking at the UK, there hasn't been a mass shooting here since 2010. Colorado has had five in that time, it has a population of 5.7 million.
