It's easy for you to say, yes. Doesn't mean it is true.
So where is Obamagun? Did I miss it? Were all of these guns actually made illegal 8 years ago and we just haven't realized it?

so what? doesn't mean jack shit if you come here and wring your thoughts and prayers hands every time this happens
I read that WaPo article on the killer. Accountant who was pretty rich and mostly retired. Owned like 4-5 houses in NV, FL & TX, had 2 planes and used to hunt in AK for fun. Neighbors said he was unfriendly and rarely spoke to them, and his houses were spartanly furnished with nothing on the walls. Would go off to gamble in Vegas for days at a time. Had a long term girlfriend who is a small, Asian woman. His brother said he'd get texts from him saying that he'd won like $250K at the poker table - so a high stakes guy. Brother said he didn't know of any particular religious or political affiliation. Girlfriend was apparently out of the country when this happened. Maybe he had recently been on a long and frustrating losing streak? I'm guessing Aspergers as fuck.
I guess he should take your approach of sitting behind a computer screen and condescend to people on a message board. Really moves the needle on the meaningful shit gauge.
Alright what about a shotgun, which is designed for hunting. Am I allowed to keep that?

I'd vote to repeal the 2nd amendment, but if we are talking about other possible solutions, this twitter thread seems kind of interesting. Basically cost internalization.
FWIW, I'm all for restrictions on guns in general. Extremely strict background checks, taxes, ect. Would love to see it. Needs to happen now. But I believe that it's a mental health issue as well. Progress needs to be made on both fronts. There's many factors that play into this. Take this playable level from Call of Duty for example, that almost every 12-22 year old boy owned a few years ago. How the hell does this make it into a game? And how do we allow this to be okay?

Pretty big leap to the last sentence.

You're saying if you vote republican you are responsible for these mass murders? Even if you love. In a state with strict
Gun control laws and vote in your own state for a dem?
What your saying is if you vote for a republican you are voting for the NRA always,
and you are responsible for mass murders like this one?
Not responsible, but complicit. Yes, you are.

"A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed."
You don't need to repeal it. Just interpret it more honestly and consider the times in which it was written (we had just rebelled from a tyrant king) and modern times. This guy had semi-automatic weapons that he likely converted to automatic, and by all accounts, was not part of a well regulated militia.
Where was his girlfriend (out of the country) Gambling addiction. Maybe someone was going to pay him to murder a lot of people? A guess. There have been a lot of attacks within the last week.
