Alrighty, time for Trey to get serious.

Everyone else: Whoa, has this happened before?

Okay, here we go.

Guns are only used for two things. Killing, and practicing killing. So, why would we allow anyone to own them? They're literally just killing machines, so, we might as well just call them that. The shooter in this case didn't illegally obtain his gun. He stole his mom's (one of the victims) legally registered gun. While making guns illegal wouldn't totally solve this problem, it would at least help. Cuz even if people just illegally obtain guns, if guns are illegal, we can arrest them just for having one.

And, while I don't agree that the constitution is "stupud" as Reddy says, I hate how everyone thinks that it's some sort of perfect document. You do realize that it was written 200 years ago, by people who also thought that slavery was okay.

And, for people who believe that guns are good for self-defense: Do you really think that, if someone sneaks into your house in the middle of the night, just cuz you have a shotgun in the closet, you'll save the day and nothing will happen? No. They'll either just run away, or you'll become a murderer. Because that's all that guns do. Murder.
