What does gun violence really COST

Looks like the guns were bought legally.

"...Two handguns recovered have been traced back to Farook. He purchased them legally three or four years ago, an official said. Two rifles were purchased by someone else, possibly a former roommate, also legally three or four years ago. Officials said they don't think that person had anything to do with the shooting.

"These were people that came prepared," Burguan said. "There had to have been some degree of planning that went into this."..."

Even if the "purchase of guns" is made illegal, the bad guys will disregard the laws and get them one way or another.
 
At press time, residents of the only economically advanced nation in the world where roughly two mass shootings have occurred every month for the past six years were referring to themselves and their situation as “helpless.”

The US may be the greatest nation in the world but there is nothing we can do about gun violence. Nothing. Which is exactly what the gun nuts have offered as an idea. Nothing. Which is exactly what is between their ears.

We realize that the problem isn't guns, so we don't look for solutions in guns. We understand and accept that the problem is people. Liberals, on the other hand, don't want to place blame on people - just inanimate objects. They don't want to address problems in the inner city, with the poor, etc. Just with guns.

How long is the US going to be held hostage to the stupidity and fears of the gun nuts?

Probably about as long as it takes for fucking idiots like yourself to understand where the problem actually is.

If you purchase a weapons for someone else, that is an illegal purchase. Right on the background check application, it states so. As for Farook purchasing them legally, that was a failed background check, obviously, as it didn't vet the person and his possible background ties.

The mind and logic of the leftist never fails to amaze. Just how are mass shooting defined? Well, they are defined when 4 or more people are shot and killed in a single incident. That's it. That is the criteria. So we're to believe that 4 people getting killed by say a pissed off husband is the same as what just happened in San Bernardino? No, but leave it to the left to conflate the two. Somehow we're supposed to believe that the streets of America are as dangerous as the streets of some North African country, or Syria, Iraq, several South American countries, and any number of other third world shitholes. Utterly ridiculous.

Shhh...don't ruin the narrative.
 
Four reasons for gun violence (off top my head):

1) Intentional criminal activity
2) Chronically mentally unsound for many yrs. or decades
3) God told me to do it
4) He cracked under the emotional strain of a domestic situation, financial etc

the latter,that's where you hear from family members, "he changed, starting acting odd"

This person would not show up under mental health, because he just recently "cracked". but still has access to guns, and probably in my mind is a bigger part of the problem than media gives credit.

My question is [bold]"How do we fix this?"[/bold]BECAUSE THERE IS AN OBVIOUS PROBLEM:(

I think maybe we need to accept that not all problems are entirely fixable, especially where human nature is involved. We should be able to manage this to lessen the impact, but me thinks peoples "rights" are going to suffer somewhat to do so, and there's the rub.

Good post. Just for giggles, though, you should do a comparison of gun deaths in category 4 above as a percentage of overall gun deaths in America. You'd be stunned at how low of a percentage that actually is.

Well, noticed you put "rights" like that (in quotations)

is this because you don't believe your own BS?

no respectable NRA member would put "gun rights" in quotations.:D
