A long time Real Estate closing attorney recently told me he has never seen so many people use gun permits and carry permits as their 2nd form of ID at closings than he has the last year+
IMO one big reason many people are skeptical about gun control (in the US) are that it will keep guns out of the hands of law abiding citizens but will not slow down the amount of guns in the hands of criminals- most guns used in acts of crime and violence are not legally registered And many of those guns are bought via pawn shops, craigs list etc Additionally gun control almost certainly will not stop military contractors and our government from selling/giving guns by the millions throughout the world - many of which make their way back to the US via legal and black market trade-

Needless to say these shootings are tragic- and will make hiring and attracting quality people to become police officers much more difficult -

Well, now we're getting left-wing terrorism, I wonder if that;s going to change the dynamics of this gun control talk.

We always had "race" riots or "race" wars. It just has been awhile since the 90s. 

It wasn't to this level, and not whilst gun control is a hot subject

I think those actions are just sadly prooves that multi "races" or "cultures" in one area doesnt work.

I dont say its the blacks fault or its the whites fault or anything like that, the truth is alot more complicated.

Many black people are getting criminal, because they already have an bad imagine in the general society (so black kids get worse marks in school, worse or no jobs, less money, are more likely to get criminal, get criminal, make the image of the blacks worse, and all over again.). Its pretty much a doom loop.

I think we will see something like this alot more in the future. The time of the classic wars might be over, but this will be a new type of war.

The humans are just to stupid...

Militarized police here we come.

Gun control has been a "hot subject" since 1999 and Columbine at least. Nothing will ever change with it IMO, the US is basically a modern version of the Wild West and is going to have extremely violent gun outbursts constantly. It's just the way it is. 

Gun shootings are as American as apple pie now. If an elementary school full of little tots could get shot up and nothing changed, nothing will change now. 

Yes it was. In fact, it was worse. 

"More than 60 people lost their lives amid the looting and fires during the Los Angeles riots that ravaged the city over five days starting April 29, 1992. Ten were shot to death by law enforcement officials. Forty-fourpeople died in other homicides or incidents tied to the rioting."

And two years later.

Lots of young kids here who don't remember the early 90s even. But yeah, this has been a problem for ages, only difference now is we have smartphone cameras and two black people have decided to shoot back. 

I wasn't even born until a year after this happened, but I know about it well, because it has been used in political debates for different sides.
