I'm curious what the guns don't kill people, people kill people, crowd think of a story like this. These are American sold guns being used in crimes across our borders. The guns are sourced from here rather than there own countries because they are so easy to get here and so difficult to get there.
Just on (also conspiratorial) curiosity, the msm never seems to follow up in entirety on some shooting cases shrouded in mystery, such as the batman shooter, Sandy Hook, and now the Las Vegas Paddock shooting. Recap on zerohedge recently:
"5 Unanswered Questions That Remain 2 Years After The Vegas Shooting" https://www.zerohedge.com/political/5-unanswered-questions-remain-2-years-after-vegas-shooting
News is just propaganda tool. Even the relatively free one just tries to get more clicks and views. Its ironic how "freedom of speech" has helped the crooks in this case.
On guns my view is rather simple, ppl make it too complicated, there is no real need for it.
There are lot of frustrated ppl in this world and if you make guns available to them easily, someday some emotional trigger will lead them to gun trigger and they will harm either themselves or other ppl.
You shouldn't just depend on psych evaluation to profile possible mass shooters, completely fine and normal ppl can do that too if whatever trigger in their head is pushed that far. In fact there is good chance that real psychopaths are also good at acting "normal". These methods are unreliable, just take the guns out of equation, at least you will reduce the casualty number.
One- the shootings are terrible
two- if we hold company's responsible for everything someone does who buys/uses there product we are not going to have anything due to the fact the liabilities will be to high.
Next we will see Facebook be charged with teen suicides due to bullying and ford for drunk drivers and you tube for teaching people how to make bombs. The list goes on and one
I think we are entering a very dangerous period and many people will only look at this and say guns are bad fine the people who make them but they aren't thinking about what this could turn into.
again I think these shootings are horrible but this could be very dangerous as a whole

I agree @MiniP. Where does it stop? Can you sue politicians for not implementing laws to prevent this? Can you sue somebody for letting you finance, say a car, that they knew you would struggle to repay? I think this is a slippery slope.
it even takes us back to the housing crisis, can we start to sue all the people who made bad decisions or set us up with horrible loans. Something needs to be done but this needs to be stopped immediately, whats going to stop you from suing me because I expressed my trade Idea and you lost your house over it.
Do guns need to print/stamp on the receiver "do not shoot humans with this" kinda similar to the hot coffee issue years ago.
You could go on and on and on, kinda scary if you really think about.
