Honestly mods would normally shut those down, but in these times I think discussions as polarizing as they may be can be cathartic. It's terrible, if you are pro gun or anti gun, the one thing we can all agree on is we hate when innocent people lose their lives. The discussions may, will, get heated, but at least we have breath, and working fingers to display our feelings right now. Nobody on this board wants a communist state where the government controls every aspect of our life and makes us safer. Nobody on this board wants a complete liberty society where disagreements are settled with gunfights. But we must find common ground and luckily we live in a country where expressing our views left or right of the norm may get us there. It's not a political agenda to respond to a tragedy by asking how can we prevent the next one. It's humanity.
