"I don't have all the solutions as I'd guess you don't either."

"these nutjob shooters have access to guns that we must impeded."

See, by your last statement you're already proposing solutions, and that's a problem for 'honest discourse'.

Who's to say the laws didn't already 'impede' them and they went around the laws?

Who's to say they had given any indication they were nutjobs prone to violence and needed their constitutional rights impeded on?

Please explain why this message is being reported.

Is it possible that it is both?(nm) - LamarFrazier MU - 5/8 08:24:22

Look at crime maps. Murder is NOT a national problem. - DHighlander NWMSU - 5/8 08:34:48

I hope you never do know anyone who is murdered. - LamarFrazier MU - 5/8 08:38:26

We do have the highest rate but it is not homogenous - DHighlander NWMSU - 5/8 08:50:47

Of course it's not homogenous as any data set can be - LamarFrazier MU - 5/8 09:00:59

Our educational system spends disproportionately - DHighlander NWMSU - 5/8 09:15:48

I agree with all of that(nm) - LamarFrazier MU - 5/8 08:40:06

you contradict yourself - DesertTiger MU - 5/8 08:30:39

No, I'm saying I have ideas but admit I could be wrong - LamarFrazier MU - 5/8 08:35:00

my concern is any infringement - DesertTiger MU - 5/8 08:52:38

respectful discourse: You misrepresented data in your OP, - BH O'bonga MU - 5/8 08:29:06

Why stop at guns then? - Sal CMSU - 5/8 08:22:23
