    Very sad.  Unnecessary.  KC, like many other major cities across the US, has a gang related violence issue.  This was gang violence where many innocents were caught up in the cross fire.  Much more information to come out obviously in this sad story.  Minors are also involved suspect wise so there has been some suppression of information because of it.

    Mass shooters are hard to prevent even with hundreds of police officers patrolling Kansas city parade.  Mass shootings are common in the US and rare in other countries.  According to Everytown research, states with strong gun safety laws tend to have lower rates of gun violence.  If every state has the gun death rate of top 10 safest states, almost 300,000 lives could be saved in the next decade.  Polls show most Americans favor stronger gun control.

    but Illinois only has gun problems cause of Indiana (or so I’m told) why doesn’t Indiana  have the same problems as the neighboring state?

    this is at least twice in this one thread you start by saying you never did something and the VERY next sentence starts with “but I did do that something”

     No I don't wanna live in China (Don't really find Chinese women to attractive,and not a big fan of their food),why is that the only country in the world that you think doesn't have a gun problem?Would I like to live in the before mentioned Netherlands?Ya no fuckin doubt,but I could never get my whole family to move there,so I won't leave here for that reason.I would just like to live without worrying if some jerk off is gonna start firing 1,000 rounds into a crowd because he lost at some gambling table.Or some kids decide they are gonna shoot up a whole high school because they think that's the only way they can become famous in their miserable lives.Or some clown wants to dress up as some Batman villain and kill as many people as he can because some new Batman movie is premiering at a theater.Or some deranged fuck wants to kill and slaughter 10 year old kids with a high powered rifle at close range,just cause he wants to.Or like it sounds happened yesterday,some little punk gangbangers thought somebody looked at them wrong,so they started shooting.Do you have family,wouldn't you want your family to be able to live in a country where you wouldn't have to worry about that kinda shit happening on pretty much a daily basis?Are you okay with 10 year old kids getting massacred and their heads getting blown off at their school,just so you can own a gun?

    You asked me "do I honestly and truly believe that the U.S. or the world will ever dispose of their guns".Most of the civilized world has done something about their gun problems.But no,I don't think we ever will,but that still doesn't make doing nothing the right answer.In your post #75 you asked me "how would you fix the problem in KC,I'm assuming your answer would be more gun control and more gun laws".Ya unfortunately that's the only way i think we can stop some of these problems,what we're doing now ain't doing shit but enabling it to just keep happening.Whats that phrase about the definition of insanity being doing the same thing over,and expecting different results,that's what we're doing.We're just expecting the problem to just miraculously solve itself somehow,and that ain't gonna happen.So to solve the problem we gotta do something,drastic times call for drastic measures.

     You are right,"If people want to do harm,they'll use whatever tool they can find".But using that way of thinking should we then just let every fucked up person in this country have access to a weapon that they could use to possibly kill 40 people in a minute.That would be okay with you,if someone walked into your child's or grandchild's schoolroom and shot them all up with a weapon like that?After all "If people want to do harm,they'll use whatever tool they can find" right?So why not just give them access to FIND a tool that can kill 40 people or kids in a minute,why not right?As long as you can still carry a gun for protection,it's all good to you?

    I'm not talking about there "never being any trouble",I'm talking about limiting the trouble as much as we possibly can.Why would that bother you at all,wouldn't that be a good thing?

    I never said guns were going away,only that it would go a long way in solving a lot of this countries gun issues,if they did.Nor have I ever said that we shouldn't hold people accountable for their actions,or that we should allow criminals to go free.I also never said we shouldn't prosecute criminals and keep them off our streets.Nor have I ever said that we should let anybody off the hook.If you can find me saying that in any of my posts,point it out to me cause it's never happened.So if you are gonna try and argue with me,try using things that I have said.Not stuff you've made up.

    Oh,and don't worry about me making my comments easier to read,you certainly seem to be able to find a way to figure out what I'm saying.And if the problem gets to much that you can bear,then just don't read them anymore.

    Below are just some of the common myths about gun violence.  More guns make US safer.  The only way to stop a bad gun with a gun is a good guy with a gun.  Criminals always find a way to obtain guns.  There are more gun deaths because US is a violent society.  Criminal justice reforms cause increase in violent crimes.  Mass shooters are likely to target gun free zones.  Mass shooting is caused by mental illness.  US don't know what to do to reduce gun violence.  Gun laws violate second amendment.  Gun control don't work to reduce gun violence.

    Gun violence and mass shootings are mainly a result of longterm, untreated mental health illnesses.

    With a population the size of USA, there will always be nutjobs that fall thru the cracks, or just live off the grid long enough before they become the next psychopath that goes off the deep end.

    There will never be a solution to this American phenomenon, only talking points everytime another election cycle comes up.

     The rest of the world is not like the US. That's what makes this country great. I said you'd like to live in China based on your comment that nobody should own guns. That's China buddy. They don't have freedom in that country. That is what it sounds like you want here. 

    Your family will not move to the Netherlands because they love the US. There is a reason why the US has a net immigration rate. There is more opportunity here in this melting pot of a country. 

    Criminals do not care about how many gun laws you want to enact. They'll find ways to get guns. Think about your comment with the black market and drugs. It would happen with guns as well. Guns are never going away. You and the liberal fairies need to understand that and get it out of your head that you're going to eradicate guns and think logically and not like you live in fairy tale land where you snap your fingers and all guns disappear. You liberals have good ideas, but they just don't root in reality. If we want to fix the gun problem, we need to fix the people problem and that starts with the family at home. Raise your damn kids right. Raise them to respect human life, their life, other lives and society as a whole. We have a people problem and it starts at home. 

    Your comments would be so much better if you   put   space   between   your          punctuations.

    There is a point to that, but you could argue that even when parents do all of those things kids still run amuck.....all of what you are pointing out there at least gives morals and values to them....problem is kids these days are just different...the act differently and a lot of that has to do with technology and social media....it's the one thing that the older generation didn't have and those problems were not as wide...now though, it is a huge problem....information is great and is very knowledgeable if put in the right hands but if you are using that information to do harm (i.e. build a bomb instead of building a bear...how to kill your neighbor without anyone knowing instead of loving thy neighbor) then you start to get down to one root of the problem....

    In some ways, you can blame information and social media as a sole root of a lot of problems....can/did some of this exist prior to social media and information, yes, but I'd be curious to know the numbers before and after because it definitely seems like it has gotten worse in the age of technology and social media or did we all just become more aware...

This is your Hopeless misery . And I’m the grotesque Saint Sick in the Dome Piece molding you into shape with the flow and the hymns that i knowingly live and breathe . It’s your epiphany . So Motherfucker raise up. Cuz These is words to choke on . And if the buck stops here then let it fall on your alter ego from a week ago’s the joke dogg . I’m at my altar preachin’ to the weaklings and to the evil that’s so soft , that don’t know strong . Cuz half of you gabagools is involved in fruitless endeavors . And the other half I can’t measure . Cuz they stand there fuckin’ deader , than a fish in a barrel , with the reminiscent stink of a dirty clitt that lingers for hours . Find some peace . One .

     You say "this is at least twice in this one thread you start by saying you never did something and the VERY next sentence starts with,but I did do that something".

    Okay,go to my post #66 and do tell me where I referenced anything about the republicans having to do anything with the gun issue that was being talked about.The only thing I said about republicans was that "I don't automatically fall lockstep into what a certain party (or just 1 particular conman) says I should do,like you and the whole republican party does".Does that statement have anything to do with republicans and the gun issue?And then do tell me if anything I said there pertains to BigGames next comment #67 "You're right guy.The US is the only terrible country in the world.It's just so evil,right?Nothing ever bad happens in any other country then the US,right?It's all the republicans fault,right?Only the red team is the bad guy and everyone else is a saint,right?All the bad people must be republican,right?"Does his reply have anything to do with my statement that "I don't fall lockstep into what a certain party (or just 1 conman) says I should do,like you and the whole republican party does"?So in that post I never did say the gun issue was the republicans fault.Is a lot of the problems this country has with to many fucked up people having easy access to guns republicans fault (like I said in post #74),it sure is they are the only ones who keep pushing against any kind of gun reform,even you can't dispute that.But again,that was never mentioned in my post #66.So when I say I never SAID that in post #66,that is a fact.

    And where is the 2nd supposed time,I at least twice in this 1 thread "I start by saying I never did something and the VERY next sentence starts with,but I did do that something"?Could you point that out for me where that is what I said,anywhere even once?

    I didn't say the state of Illinois specifically had any gun problems,I specifically said the city of Chicago has a gun problem (and yes I know the city of Chicago is part of the state of Illinois but they are pretty much two totally different environments,and the stats prove that).I'm sure if you look up the rest of the state of Illinois minus Chicago stats,they will pretty much line up with the whole state of Indiana.And I didn't say "Illinois only has gun problems cause of Indiana".What I said in my post #95 was "And the reason they are very easy to get in Chicago isn't because of Chicago gun laws,it's because our bordering state (in some cases its basically just the other side of the street is Indiana) Indiana has very lax gun laws".Try looking at a map of the SE side of Chicago,at the border one side of the street is Chicago,the other side of the street is Indiana.You don't think it would be pretty easy to smuggle guns across a street?If you are gonna try and argue with me,try arguing about what I ACTUALLY say,not what you claim I have said.Then you might not look like a complete idiot every time you open your mouth and quote me on something.I know it actually happens,cause I know people who actually do it.Unlike you who hear something repeatedly on a news channel who just tells you just what you wanna hear,not the actual news,and you just keep repeating it.So your question of "why doesn't Indiana have the same problems as the neighboring state" is because Indiana doesn't have any city nearly as big as Chicago in their state.Did you ever wonder why Wyoming or Montana don't have a lot of gun violence or crime?
