Doesn't seem like having more guns fixes that then.
Well I can't go back in time to preemptively stop them from getting a gun in the first place, I'd love to hear any suggestions you have for that situation.
Amend your holy constitution.
Won't happen until you stop worshiping guns and the 2nd amendment.
"Just do something a large portion of the country would kill to stop from happening" isn't a good solution, but you know that. If reason was going to work, we would have used it decades ago.
Not much of a solution if you know it won't work. I'd still like to know what you propose someone with a crazy neighbor that wants them dead should do if defending oneself with a gun isn't acceptable.
I guess y'all just keep shooting up schools then.
Good luck with that.
It's not my place to solve your problems. You need to solve your problems.
See? You have no ideas, you could have just said that instead of acting like we can just solve this overnight.
Check the post title.
We hear shitty "solutions" all the time, yours is nothing new. Most of this thread is just taking shots at us, knowing full well the solution isn't as simple as "just do what everyone else did" when other countries never had a gun problem like ours to begin with.
Boo hoo. Poor little USA getting its feeling hurt.
Grow up.
Harry Potter fan, should have figured.
