How To Stop Mass Killings

We who arm ourselves to defend against those that would harm us are no different than our gov doing the same with it's arsenal and military when you think about it.
People who let the wrong people have guns or allow them to have access to them are not unlike those in gov who allow guns into the wrong hands. Both should be severely punished.
F and F resulted in children dying too, but we don't hear much about that, do we? What say you anti gunners on that one?
Publix? Anyone?

No offense, but I doubt your knowledge of your own history going back to your days in college is very sharp(if you ever attended). Are we to believe your authoritative world history going back countless eons is flawless?
I can't say. I wouldn't be surprised to learn it's happened, even if only for a brief moment.
Regardless, disarmament today wouldn't bring world peace to the past.
I know it sounds like a foolish pipe dream, but I don't want to think it's impossible, even if it is.
I have guns. I'd let them go too, if I knew everyone else would agree to. I don't obsess over them the way many on here seem to. I may be off kilter, but it seems like the first feeling that many had after hearing of the shootings, was fear that their guns would be taken away.
I think the most important topic America and the world should be talking about is Compassion. It just might be possible that if someone had shown this kid the right amount at the right times, this whole thing might have been avoided.
I don't believe guns are the problem. The problem is that guns make some people feel empowered after a lifetime of living amongst others who have either unknowingly or deliberately made them feel worthless.
You mean cold hard facts like:The act of Jamie Foxx expressing his feelings that he lives in a racist world being proof that all black people are racist?

I was pointing out the double standard, and the silence was the answer I expected. Gov is God to many on the left. The gov kills children with F and F, drone attacks, and other actions but yet there is no outcry and demand for change from the left if the perpetrator is left of center, but when a mentally ill citizen goes off the deep end we are all to be held responsible somehow and required to make sacrifice for the greater good.
Speaking of God, or the lack of him in our society these days, where is FT on this issue?
