He started shooting when a basketball rolled into his yard, neighbors said. Now, a manhunt is on as a 6-year-old and her dad recover | CNN

2ºReed Wunschel I do strongly support the 2nd amendment but even cnn has reported that the overall mental health of Americans is in a terrible and I see it as the current national emergency personally. I do agree that it is sickening that politicians have screwed up health care to the point that it is easier to get a firearm than help but I think making it ridiculously hard to get a firearm because it’s ridiculously hard to get help is the wrong direction. Fix the healthcare issue and balance should restore itself. You can fix rights without destroying them. Besides didn’t the Biden administration have a big conference like 2 weeks ago about how there needs to be something done about mental health? Stop talking about it and fix it already! All he does is talk. Never any action.

3ºFranklin Strum BS!

The original text to the 2nd Amendment of the Constitution of the United States is “a well regulated Militia being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed.

So you interpret “the right to keep and bear arms” to mean any weapon?
Why not purchase a flame thrower or rocket launcher?
A Tank in the driveway?
You have every right to own a gun if you feel like you need one to feel safe, but NO ONE needs a weapon designed for war!!!!
Do children have a RIGHT to feel safe in their classroom?
This past week, our kids were SHOT for ringing the wrong doorbell, using the wrong driveway, opening the wrong car door, having a ball bounce into the wrong yard!!!!

That is NOT what our forefathers intended!!

4ºThat's a constant occurrence here in killadelphia! Like the sun rising everyday! Can't let kids go to a playground or play in front of their house or ride a bike cause they might get shot...On top of that the kids that have to walk to school have to walk through all the zombies all over the sidewalks going home from school the same thing have to walk through all the zombies laid out or stumbling around on the side walks! The children have to watch that they don't get stabbed with a zombies needle which has happened! America has turned to a 3rd world country its a shame then they ask what's wrong with inner city kids

5ºI think it's ridiculous that there are so many shootings in my country because the jurisdiction is not in place. Really, if the jurisdiction is good, this kind of thing is the lowest rate of occurrence in a country, and the people will not be in a panic. I didn't think about this seriously at the beginning. So I would like to ask if anyone has really advocated this matter? What is the use of reporting this information every day? This kind of thing can all be blamed on the criminals? Not the state created this condition they have access to these? Really very speechless There is no need to say every day there these criminals abominable to think about why they can access these things is who gave this condition

6ºNick Davis "Ingestion is the consumption of a substance by an organism." So people do ingest drugs whether they shoot it snort it smoke it or swallow it. Go to school, you're embarrassing yourself. And if conservatives can't win a debate then why riot when they are invited to speak at a college? Why be so prejudiced and intolerant? Why not let them talk and defeat their arguments with a logical counter argument? It's the people whose arguments can't be defend with logic that are the intolerant ones and those people are on the left. Never once have I heard of conservatives shouting down and stopping a talk on a college campus, it's always the woke bigots who do it.

7ºNick Davis it is evil cold blooded people with guns that kill other human beings. It's not the guns fault its being used for that reason. I'm a responsible owner and have never shot a kid or anybody else for that matter. And I'm curious to hear your suggestion on how to fix this problem. Let me guess....stricter gun laws....this man was a felon who by law was not supposed to be in possession of a firearm. Yep those laws work sooooo well! And whats your fix on the amount of kids that are beaten, starved, and neglected every single day? You don't need a weapon to kill somebody. All you need is a cold evil heart

Gun control is a complex issue that requires a multifaceted approach. Here are some steps we can take to work on gun control:

1. Strengthen background checks: We can work to strengthen background checks to ensure that people with a history of violence or mental illness are not able to purchase firearms.

2. Ban assault weapons: We can work to ban assault weapons, which have no place in civilian hands.

3. Enforce existing laws: We can work to enforce existing laws on gun ownership, including laws on straw purchasing and gun trafficking.

4. Increase education and awareness: We can work to increase education and awareness on gun safety and responsible gun ownership.

5. Address the root causes of gun violence: We can work to address the root causes of gun violence, including poverty, mental illness, and social inequality.

Getting guns away from criminals is also complex issue!

1. Strengthen law enforcement: We can work to strengthen law enforcement efforts to identify and prosecute criminals who use guns.

2. Increase penalties for gun-related crimes: We can work to increase penalties for gun-related crimes, including mandatory minimum sentences for repeat offenders.

3. Implement gun buyback programs: We can work to implement gun buyback programs that incentivize people to turn in their guns, no questions asked.

4. Encourage responsible gun ownership: We can work to encourage responsible gun ownership and safe storage practices, which can help prevent guns from falling into the wrong hands.

By taking a comprehensive approach to getting guns away from criminals, we can work to reduce gun violence and make our communities safer for everyone.

It won’t be perfect, but we Can definitely work on the issue and lower the fatalities
