The mass shooting at the King Soopers supermarket in Boulder, Colorado was the latest in a long line of fatal shootings that have devastated the state since the 1999 Columbine High School shooting. Some of the past incidents have prompted state lawmakers to pass new gun control measures intended to prevent future shootings.

Guns don't kill people Americans do.

LOOK. I CANNOT REPEAT THIS OFTEN ENOUGH. Please listen. I’m not from an anti-gun family. Farmers, country folk, hunting for sustanance. SHOOTING A HUMAN IS DIFFERENT. Ask any military combatant. If you’ve never killed, you will FREAK if confronted with a gunman. You won’t be../2

Tough gun laws mean nothing when you’re surrounded by states with weak gun laws.

Gun laws do not stop criminals. Only the death penalty will. But stupid politicians have done away with that.

Guns is for protection....but if you use it in different purpose..an eye for an eye ..the rule was punichment must be exactly equal to the crime.

WRONG. Outside of Denver, its gun restrictions are some of the loosest in the country. So much so, in fact, that the NRA has hailed them. Enough BoulderStrong

Imagine criminals caring about laws...

Boulder had a tough gun control law till the Colorado Supreme Court declared it unconstitutional. Just last week.

How much do you wanna bet that this guy got his gun legally? There's like a 75% chance that he did

What?!? Are you trying to tell me that criminals willing to murder are willing to break gun laws?!? Well at least gun laws will keep law-abiding folk from having an equal means to protect themselves.
