13. I was hoping they would have run out of thoughts and prayers by now

since they've been sending so much lately. Maybe their thoughts will run out first

[Nay]

14. I'm so sick of 'thoughts and prayers' that I could puke. Facile, empty words.

22. There's a Make-Silencers-Easier-To-Get bill moving nicely through Congress right now.

That's not the name of it, but Bill Bratton, former LAPD chief now NBC Senior Analyst, said it'll get passed.

8. Here we go again....

the same comments and conversations that we've had over and over and over and over again. AND WE NEVER DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. Next will come the charts showing how we compare to the rest of the industrialized world, and everyone will be "shocked" again, BUT WE WON'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT.

29. Yup, Hillary tweeted about that.

[Scarsdale]

49. The gop wants

MORE guns, with silencers. LESS healthcare. Imagine if they put their efforts into medical coverage as earnestly as they work for guns, guns, guns. They put more outrage into someone getting shot when one of their own got shot, Scalise. With his excellent medical coverage, he is back to work. A normal citizen would be bankrupt trying to get the care he got, plus he had a job waiting for him!!!

9. I want to throw shit at my TV every time I see the NRA's disgusting ads.

They are hate speech and aimed at inciting violence. The networks need to get them kicked off now.

Extra note: I'd suggest contacting the TV station and lodging a complaint. Tweet about it. Post on Facebook about it. Spread it around so your complaint doesn't dissolve into a pile of other messages to management and go quietly into nothingness.

15. I'm so damn angry

More than 30,000 gun deaths a year; England has around 50.
The NRA and every teary-eyed politician on TV talking about 'prayers and thoughts' and heroes saving lives has blood on their hands.

19. I'm a liberal and a gun owner and I sat to the nra..

FUCK YOU AND THE HORSE YOU RODE IN ON.

I will never join your shitty excuse for a "patriotic" organization, I will never donate a penny to your cause and I will talk shit about you to everyone I know that owns guns ( or don't ) I will take the side of people who think correctly that we should not be allowed to own a weapon that can kill so many people without reloading.

I will support the cause to remove weapons that can do such damage from people who have zero reason to own them.

And if they want my gun I'll hand it over, this nightmare must stop.

40. I heard about that and it's disgusting

I used to own a weapon that used large capacity magazines, I sold it decades ago, I felt I had no need for it and still don't although I do own a weapon still.

But a silencer is in no way in hell needed by anyone, there is zero reason to have one and if they are made legal all sorts of hell will be unleashed, I'm disgusted with the nra and all those who think we need these weapons with large capacity magazines or silencers.

I will be calling my representatives about this, I will stand up and be counted when it's needed to remove dangerous weapons from anybody who has no need for them.

I'm a gun owner and do shoot for target practice but this nightmare must end, we must finally put an end to this thought process that anyone has a need for a firearm that can kill dozens without reloading.

THERE IS NO REASON TO OWN THEM.

I'm a 58 yo ex crab fisherman, I've seen many bad things in my time and thought nothing could shock me anymore.

But when I saw what happened in Vegas this morning when I woke up.

I cried, this has to end.......

Silencers. Gee, what a good idea. Just think, how many more people might have been mowed down if they hadn't been able to hear the rat-tat-tat-tat of the bullets spraying out of that machine gun so they could have escaped or run for cover, 'eh?




Why the fuck does anybody need a silencer on their damn gun? Unless they're up to no good, maybe?

37. Well that makes sense

I wouldn't know where to buy a set of earplugs, so I must need a constitutional right to buy a silencer.

43. We need a Grover Nordquist like line in the sand in our Party. If you take NRA money, you're out.

You can be pro 2nd Amendment but not bought and paid for by the NRA.
Their money should be the taint we shun.

48. Tonight Stephen Colbert told Trump that he doesn't owe anything to Republicans

because they tried to keep him from being elected. So, Colbert said, Trump should try to do something that the two previous presidents couldn't do, and pass any kind of common-sense gun control legislation that the vast number of Americans want. Maybe Trump will consider this pandering to his ego.
