    It's easy to see why foreign tourism to the US is down. Between Trump's daily excretions, half of our citizens having the IQ of a potato chip, and the risk of getting shot by a madman with an overpowered rifle, why spend any vacation time here?
    Yeah, but then you had Spain who never really had anything happen have the mass killing by vehicle on one of their most touristy spots. My daughter had just been over there this summer on that street.

    It's not safe anywhere.

      Yes, but "gun grabs"? I don't believe the left has put in any sort of legislation trying to take guns away from people. They've only been for slight restrictions regarding who can purchase, such as mental health, being on the terrorist watch list, etc. That was the whole freaking out thing, that Obama was "going to take everyone's guns", yet he certainly didn't go down that rout of taking guns. I'm sure you can find some of the far left talking about actually "grabbing guns", but from the bulk of the left and certainly from the politicians that isn't the case.

        It's called a back door gun grab. If you put that into place, then all you do to grab everyone's guns is to expand the definition of "mentally ill". Just like how your ilk have declared anyone who doesn't believe what you believe to be a racist and/or a Nazi.

          Did the guy have any history of mental illness? From the stories I read it seemed he was pretty 'normal' up until the shooting.

            Come to NYS and see our (un)SAFE act. It might not be at the national level, but it fits your entire description of what you're trying to argue against.

                  that's why the "we don't need gun control, we need better mental heath treatment" argument is flawed. The only thing that will reduce mass shootings is a massive reduction in the number and types of weapons in circulation and a much more difficult procurement process. That has a 0% chance of happening in this country, so this is just a fact of life in America now. There is nothing we are willing to do about it.

                    It will eventually be against the law to have a gun in a decently populated area, because it's obvious. It will take time -- a couple centuries, say. It's 15th century Japan and everyone has to prance around with a sword, for various sociological and psychological reasons. That's not going to last forever. Hem lines change.

                            There's a place in Vegas called "Battlefield Vegas" that has every combat weapon known, ranging from '03 Springfields to modern gattling guns.

                            I'd be checking my inventory very carefully this AM if I were them.

                              That's right. Sandy Hook never happened either. Whew. It was just a dream.

                                Except people with guns arent defending themselves or others against crimes. So your argument doesnt hold much water.

                                300 million guns in the US. Less than 1% of crime is a gun used (by anyone) to defend against it.

                                Includes all those gun loving states that have seen more crime as they loosen gun restrictions.
