Get Social,
1. We have background checks already. And what type of guns will you ban? People are pushing for the AR 15 when a Ruger mini 14 is essentially the same gun. Also, in VA Tech around 30 people were killed with hand guns in that shooting.
As for the UK if you look at the murder rate of the US and the UK the murder rate in the US is 5 times higher. However, if you remove all gun murders from the equation only from the US the US still has a murder rate that is twice as high as the UK. What does that mean? That shows a difference in culture where we have more murders in general for various reasons besides guns. You can't just look at gun laws and murder rates as many factors play in murder rates.
2. I don't blame the kids for being emotional, but they should be seeing a counselor, not the media. As for you saying "tragedies like this happening much too often" what do you base that off of? John Lott did a study where he compared mass shootings in the US to other countries and found that in countries like Norway, Finland and France have more deaths due to mass shootings and a higher rate of mass shootings. He had the US at 12th and 11th in those rankings. How did he come up with that? Well, he factor in population and he looked at mass shootings (that he defined as 4 or more deaths) where the only crime was the shooting. That means if there was a shooting that involved gangs where four people were killed he ruled those out. Why? Because gang activity is illegal and the shooting was targeting people. That is an issue of gangs and comparing a gang shooting, which are isolated and a different topic, to a shooting like what occurred in Florida is not a fair comparison. This shooter was not targeting a particular group but instead was targeting people without discrimination. Does that mean we do not have a problem? No. What it means is that it is not as severe as what others make it out to be.
"What I find to be more sickening is how there are people that refuse to
see the obvious and are treating the kids like nuisances or enemies to
their precious guns."
It is not treating them as enemies but instead calling them out for their lack of respect and inability to have an intelligent, and progressive conversation. This is why nothing will get passed. When one side calls you a child murderer for not agreeing with them you cannot take them seriously. I don't support the murder of anyone, Rubio feels the same way as does the NRA. If you want to have an intellectual conversation you have to treat the other side with respect and be willing to talk.
