Again, something so tragic raises the issue of gun laws. This doesn't happen anywhere else in the world.

Basically 17 people are dead, because of a cowardly, no hoper Nikolas Cruz.

I understand that some people have a romanticised version that they are John Wayne and could outshoot a rogue gunman. The answer is limit gun laws surely?

Why do you need automatic, military grade weapons? I just don't get it, I just now a lot of parents and siblings will go on without their children.

I won't lie, I just don't understand a lot of my southern neighbors.

Feeling secure seems to be the main driving force behind all this ridiculous stockpiling of weapons. However, the NRA can wiggle all it wants, but as far as data go, more often than not, guns do not improve security. It is quite the opposite.

If firearms would indeed improve security, the most armed country in the world would also be the safest with the lowest homicide per capita...
