It happened again! When are we ever going to have the discussion about common sense gun control?" Guess what? We have the conversation every single time this happens, and it's the same thing, a bunch of BS talk and no real answers. Background checks, they work, they keep criminals from purchasing guns from lawful sources- yet they still buy them from unlawful sources. "If only guns weren't available to criminals." There are laws making it so they shouldn't be, yet they still get their hands on them. Meth is illegal, yet it still is manufactured and sold in nearly every large town/city in America. Attacking the wrong side of the problem, yet again. So many on the left continually ignore the fact that you cannot avert every tragedy on earth. Bad things happen, it's a risk we take with living.

For note: the anti-gun lobby is not exactly anti-gun, they just want to pick and choose WHO has the guns. They will use people with guns to take away the guns from those they don't want to have guns, if they get their way. This rhetoric continues and it solves nothing. Of course I'm not providing any new info to any of you here, we all know this. Why is it that when some asshole goes and kills people, the first response of the left is to punish those who had nothing to do with it? Simple answer, they're morons.
FIFY,

Also, be careful with the blanket gun-free zone statement on this one. It was certainly advertised/posted as such from what I've read, but legal CHP holders in Oregon, not including the faculty and staff there, were in fact permitted to carry on that campus. The real concern is with several key issues (still to be fully vetted.)

1. The campus is posted "no weapons allowed." That is misleading to say the least. Is there prominent Concealed Permit Holders Exempt signage?
2. At least one CHP holder, also ex mil, was persuaded/forbidden by faculty to not get involved for fear he would be interfering and could be potentially mistaken for the active shooter.

It's a damn shame Chris Mintz wasn't packing. This would be another in the growing list of "Mass shootings stopped by a good guy with a gun."
