Re: I want to keep my guns.
Media hyperfocusing on these "mass" shootings is why so many think crime is so much worse today than prior years.
Unfortunately, they give little to no press and airtime to the many times "mass" shootings are thwarted or stopped by good guys with guns. If these incidents got more airtime and press, the opinions would even out some and many of the ignorant that think banning guns or a particular type of gun would realize that is not the answer.

For those that think bans work, how well have these bans and laws worked?
Prohibition
Laws against murder
Laws against assault
Laws against underaged drinking
Laws against drugs such as marijuana, cocaine, meth etc.
Bans against guns in certain places or venues
Bans against guns in Chicago and D.C.
Laws against fraud
Bans against political corruption (Clinton's pay for play)
Laws against insider trading
Laws against prostitution
Laws against making homemade bombs
Laws against flying full passenger planes into buildings
Laws against illegal aliens entering the country
and the list can go on and on and on...
Until we address the lack of value of human life, broken homes, serious mental illness, the doping kids because of behavior and pure evil that exists, we will make no headway regardless what laws or bans are put in place. There are already laws on the books. More laws will not help. Bans will not help. Look how well guns bans have worked in Mexico. Only the cartels, criminals and cops/military (many have been bought and paid for by the cartels through bribes and threats) have guns.

Re: I want to keep my guns.
Many have trouble acknowledging there is something bigger and more important than themselves. Too many think the world revolves around them.
Those that do not value the freedoms that are valued in this country should consider visiting or moving to one of the socialist or communist utopias they so fondly admire and long for from a distance.
Giving up rights for a false sense of security and safety is ludicrous.
