    I'm not trying to justify it at all, I'm just sick of both sides pointing at each other saying "you caused this!" This is something that's always happened throughout U.S. History. As tragic as this event was, I don't think it's any different from any other mass shooting that's happened in the U.S. We have a massive mental health and gun issue in this country. We've known this for years now and nothing is ever done about it.

    They have armed officers roaming airports etc and even more so now with all the s--- going on. Even on trains whilst our terrorism level alert was at the highest. They have specially trained armed forces ready on call when something happens. They generally deal with s--- pretty well over here

    They do, but explain to me what is going on in London. Isnt the military basically deployed in the streets?

    There is no L to be taken. There are many instances where civilians have saved people too. Imagine if there was an armed civilian during all of the stabbings in europe

    I may be republican but I agree we do need to do something about guns and especially mental health. I think it's useless to blame individual sides in situations like this, people need to come together the best they can. The fault lies on the killers mental health more than anything else.

    We are on a high terrorism alert - but what's your point? The deaths from these attacks are nothing compared to the deaths each week because of gun violence in America...

    If civilians were armed over here there would have been a lot more deaths in these attacks because it would end up being a bloody s---t out? That's not hard to grasp at all.

    The amount of times an armed civilian would save someone would be heavily outweighed by the amount of killing the terrorist could do with a gun compared to a knife lol it's exactly that type of backwards thinking which is why that s--- happens in America

    Well, a couple years ago Obama was able to add some mental health provisions to the the National Instant Background Check... But Trump and the Republicans took them out with basically the first legislation they were able to pass in February with HJ Res 40.

    Rand Paul was cowering in the batting cage area when the shots rang out and was affraid for his life... He is sure if the cops weren't there for the Majority Whip he would have died today.

    Not surprised by this considering the liberal dominated media has the American public believing trump is the next Hitler

    "Authorities had said the homeowner saw the inmates trying to steal his vehicle and called his neighbor. Both men, armed with guns, confronted the fugitives and held them at gunpoint, they said.
    But Patrick Hale told reporters on Friday that he never drew his weapon.
    He had been at his home on Pruitt road with his daughter when two friends called warning him about the fugitives.
    Hale loaded his weapons, called 911 and "prayed like I never prayed before," he said, as the two men crossed a barbed wired fence that's about 300 yards from his back door.
    The 35-year-old father took his daughter, got into his car and began backing it up from their driveway when Robe and Dubose took their shirts off and started waving them.
    "My vehicle looks very similar to a police cruiser," Hale said. "For some reason they started to surrender and lay down on their stomachs in my concrete driveway."

    Should probably arm everyone with cars that look like police cruisers
