Go to Canada. Its like the US, but better healthcare and a much less dogmatic approach to gun control.

Obviously not enough people there had concealed guns. Would have been so easy to stop that. I think the only way to stop this from happening is to change the 2nd amendment from "right to bear a weapon" to "obligation to bear weapon".

If you're not a fan of working 80 hours a week and getting hit in the face with racism more than occasionally I'd advise against Japan. Knew some people who went there after college because Japan sounds so "kawaii" but they all came back disillusioned a year later.

I want to go back to Japan. I loved it there when I was stationed there. As a civilian now, it would be amazing. I grew up in the Midwest of the US, so I'm familiar with cold. But not that North Pole/Arctic cold.

@mahrgell I agree. More guns to stop the shootings before they happen is the best way to go. Preventive measures need to be taken. The best defense is a good offense.

The way to reduce crime in America is to give out fire arms to all the poorest communities so they can protect themselves. Everyone gets one shotgun and a 9mm. We are starting with the US's largest cities with out control crime rates and working out way down. Baltimore first.

This is a politics thread. If you don't want people stating political opinions on gun control, maybe you should take your eyes elsewhere for the next 12 hours or so.

Obviously. Its sickening how both sides play this game everytime there's a shooting that makes the headlines.

You'll have to retrain the police to deal with open carry patriots who aren't white. The huge difference between the way the police shooting of an armed black guy and an unarmed black guy has always baffled me. Sure, if the guy was pointing a guy at the officer that'd be one thing but citizens do have a constitutional right to be armed. I feel like the police selectively understand that. Like you never see "black community outraged over death of an armed black guy who totally wasn't doing anything wrong". It must happen, given the number of unarmed black guys killed by police.

Which is why gun control arguments go into the gun control thread, so you guys can shout past each other out of sight.

I clearly needed more sarcasm in my statement. Handing out fire arms to everyone is the dumbest idea on the planet. We can't even give police non-lethal weapons without them misusing them. I'm not giving the general population shotguns in the name of safety.

It's pretty delusional to assume gun control isn't discussed just after yet another mass shooting. That's kind of the main point.

Well. It works amazing in "The Purge" though.

I think it's pretty clear that the second amendment is more of a white people thing. After all when a certain historic party looted and destroyed British property and dumped it into the harbour it was an act of justified rebellion, if one black guy loots a store the whole civil movement is apparently potentially violent and dangerous.

This isn't your first post here. I know your stance on guns without a /s tag.

I was just making an observation that a lot of people aren't comfortable with the idea of the citizens in the most crime stricken areas having a second amendment right.
