PUTTING THE BLAME ON GUNS WHENEVER AN UNLAWFUL SHOOTING HAPPENS INSTEAD OF ON THE SHOOTER MAKES EXACTLY AS MUCH SENSE AS PUTTING THE BLAME ON FLIES FOR THE EXISTENCE OF GARBAGE!!!

[@danomyte67]

Understandable. People are tired of the same thing. Over and over again.

[@sunshine9993]

[@JS-954]

[@keonyang3332]

[@jamessimmons7480]

I WOULD LIKE TO ASK ALL OF THOSE KIDS IF GUN LAWS REDUCED CRIME THEN WHY IS CHICAGO ONE OF THE MOST DANGEROUS CITIES IN THE COUNTRY INSTEAD ONE OF THE SAFEST, AND HEAR THEIR EXPLANATION!!!!

[@jamessimmons7480]

I THINK THAT IT'S LONG OVERDUE THAT WE QUIT SCAPEGOATING GUNS FOR ONCE AND FOR ALL!!!!

[@maggiebannenberkowitz9254]

1972 to 1975, we did this type of protesting to stop the war.

[@marcdewey1242]

I remember the vietnam war protests in the 1960's and 70's when people made complete fools of themselves, but it didn't end until because of that it ended when the government decided to finally pull our boys out and bring them home,sometimes protesting and picketing works and sometime not.

Lol. Good Luck !!!! “A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bare arms, shall NOT be infringed.” The second amendment IS GUARANTEED!!!!!!

[@ruthgallagher9584]

God Bless, sane gun laws, background check, three day wait to purchase, trigger locks...

[@robertjeffrey5560]

Dear Student Protesters, I say this with only love and support: you are wasting your time when you hold signs and chant. Most of the lawmakers you’re trying to reach don’t care whether you live or die; what makes you think they’re interested in your opinions? If you really want to make a difference, PLEASE make sure you are registered to vote as soon as legally possible. Educate yourself and others about registration and voter-identification requirements in your state. Find voters’ guides and share them. Make a plan to vote. Find voting locations near you. Encourage your friends to vote early. Channel the energy of your totally justified anger and frustration into voter-registration and voter-education drives NOW. Don’t wait until the next election. Democracy is not a spectator sport. Use it or lose it.

[@JS-954]

and don't forget that democrats are domestic terrorists and cause these shootings to happen.

[@zacharyschopper4344]

Not in my household

[@keonyang3332]

"Educate yourself and others" hmm seems legit

[@autumnfragrance6326]

Aiden used two assault pistols. You can clearly see that she was using the "pistol brace" as a shoulder stock. This is why AR Pistols need to be registered as NFA SBRs.

[@robertjeffrey5560]

Yeah noone can 3d print a pistol brace right?

[@ClarkKent-tg6ls]

I can't.✌🤓📚

[@SocialismSucks]

“Assault pistol”😂

[@boknow5506]

That's not a microphone it's a BBC

[@keonyang3332]

I'd love to waste 200 hundred dollars and a month worth of my life to use a pistol brace.
