    This it right in my community. :(

    Our congressman Mark Pocan summed things up well, “Support better gun laws or stay out. Thought & prayers are useless. Action!”

    By the way OP its been corrected to three, maybe update title.

      Isn’t murder already illegal? Why would a killer care if they’re also breaking some newly made law? I never understood this logic.

        FTFY

        It’s already illegal to break traffic laws, why do I need a license?

          Tens of thousands of people drive cars without a license every day. Thanks for solidifying my point.

            So you think driving in America would be objectively safer without the licensing system?

              No not at all. I’m saying despite that, there’s still nothing stopping someone from taking a car or a gun and killing someone with it.

              Edit: Downvoting this comment won’t make it untrue. There’s an example in the very article you just read.

                by the “LaWs DoNt StoP cRiMiNaLs” logic, then we don’t need any laws at all, because whoever wants to is going to break them anyway. oh but of course the same chuds bleating this nonsense are also fighting tooth and nail to ram through bathroom laws. “only harming law abiding citizens” indeed

                  Don’t lump me in with the trumptards. I voted Harris. I’m just stating facts.

                  I have no doubt “the good christian” parents would have passed any gun laws or background checks you could throw at them.

                  That little girl needed better parenting, mental healthcare and to not find a gun laying around.

                  What new enforceable law could have prevented this?

                    Guns are harder to buy = fewer guns sold = fewer guns made = fewer guns available for psychopaths, it’s really not hard at all

                    You assuming these people would get around a background check based on absolutely nothing is not the rock-solid argument you think it is and it’s certainly not justification to continue to do nothing to stop people slaughtering toddlers.

                    it’s astounding to me, that there are still people well aware that there are many many countries without a severe constant school shooting problem because of gun control laws, and it’s still basically “we’ve tried nothing, and we’re all out of ideas!!!”

                Do you think there’d be more or fewer accidental deaths on our roads without the licensing system?

                  Our current licensing system is a joke but I agree it helps. Cars and guns should require some demonstration of competence with those things.
