ONTD

Yep, should keep their mouths shut tbh, not gonna bring comfort to anyone involved.

SERIOUSLY

My thoughts exactly.

Well some of them can bring the much needed attention to important issues so I don't mind their opinions, but some celebs need to just never tweet.

mte i'm feeling not pretty comfortable with this tbh. i mean, i get that they are saddened by this horrible news but i felt at a point that they should be more.... pissed off like the rest of us, you know? because enough is enough

for fucking real!

so don't come into the post?

Yeah, I mean. I get this is ontd, it's what we do, but I'm here for stupid shit like Lindsay Lohan's career - not for this, man. Kind of uncomfortable with this post existing.

MTE.

i posted this so people who missed out on the other post can comment here

mte

So relieved that this is the first thing said in this post.

I know, this post makes me uncomfortable.

mte

seems like this post was accepted to become an open discussion about the shooting, and the celeb tweets was just needed to get it accepted in a place like ontd...

it's the only way to get this news posted to ontd, sadly

nvm there's another post. but that's usually been the case.

so true

mfte

and i can't w/ hassleflake asking why god why either -_-

mte

this

Yeah, but I think everyone wants to vent right now, celebs included. And this is a celeb gossip site. I'm happy they're not talking some insensitive pro-NRA shit.

i came here to say this

i agree

i hope so, should have been done a long time ago

nope. somehow the NRA will make up even more bullshit to defend themselves and the 2nd Amendment since our forefathers created it then it must stay

People are already saying not to "politicize" this situation :/

they just voted in Michigan yesterday to make it legal to carry guns in elementary school/day cares so NOPE. lets be real.

Tbh i hope so, this is the most horrific thing that can ever happen. And I say that every time there's a shooting and seem to get proven wrong every time.

No.

These kind of things have to pass houses both State and Federal and the Republicans are at the moment ttrying to burn America to the ground to preserve a 2% tax cut for the richest people.

If you think there is any chance whatsoever of them passing a law that means you might need to ya know, identify yourself before picking up a weapon and not swap it for money, you're living in a dream world.

When the Republican party dies the country will be a better place. Until then, do your best to vote them away from any position of power.

it better be

Not unless there's a modern day storming of the Bastille in DC.

thats what happened in the uk
similar situation to this

Won't make a difference. If someone wants to do harm they are going to do it. Criminals don't follow the laws all gun law reform does is disarm law abiding people and keeps them from protecting themselves.

Nope. I live in Arizona where congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords was shot. There are no concealed weapons laws here. People openly wear guns and knives out

Sadly, no. In a couple of weeks or months, it will be back to business as usual with old republicans worrying about fetuses.

nope

nope. nothing will.

Nope. All the people for guns are just going to argue that everyone should be carrying as a deterrent to other people carrying. Clearly no one was paying attention during the Cold War.

nope tbh

too many ignorant folks far up their own ass

Nope. I made the mistake of going on some pro-gun facebook page and they're saying how if the teachers were armed this wouldn't have happened. Because giving 30 teachers who are terrified and untrained loaded handguns is a fantastic idea.

no

With children being involved, I do think we will see the most debate over it.

Plus Obama (at least according to republicans) has been passionate about gun regulation and this could be the event to get him to push it forward.

But to answer your question, no.

Probably not. It'll be the whole "guns don't kill people, people kill people." and "People will find a way to get a gun even if it's not legal." bullshit.

Nope. Until these kinds of tragedies happen to them or hits close to home (sadly), I don't think they'll budge on their stance in "the right to bear arms." This, just like every other shooting massacre in the past, will just be faded out into the past and forgotten until the next one happens.

i hope so. i mean children were killed. they really need to find a way and like soon because there's been too many tragedies in the past few years. gabby giffords, the dark knight, and now this?

fingers crossed

nope.

No.

=/

yeah, to make it mandatory for teacher to have guns, because it could have been prevented if the teachers were ready to retalliate...

/ NRA comment

Hell no. All these fuck heads need are guns and Jesu. And they'll destroy te country to keep it that way.

Absolutely not, no.

absolutely not. it'll never happen.

Also, so true: Right To Own Handheld Device That Shoots Deadly Metal Pellets At High Speed Worth All Of This

http://www.theonion.com/articles/right-to-own-handheld-device-that-shoots-deadly-me,30742/

Nope.

The pro-gun lobby pours an obscene amount of money into Washington. Until there's true lobby reform there won't be any change.

No...guns are big business and make the government a ton of money. Republicans/those who want to protect their ~right to bear arms~ push a lot of money at the government...there is prob a huge dependency on the money they get from guns. I wish it would :/ This is really getting out of hand.

nope, the NRA are one of the most influential lobbying group
they're gone fight for their fucking guns

doubtful. i can see some trying to reason/argue this is why more people should have guns. ridiculous.

Hopefully.

Nope. People do this sort of horrific thing in countries with strict gun laws so the gun law in the US will not be to blame :/

Let's hope.

With a Repub controlled House the chance is approximately 0. If Dems controlled both houses I'd say maybe, but.

That first one is rubbing me the wrong way, and I say this as someone who worships the ground Nimoy walks on.

@AndrewWK: PARTY TIP: Stay strong. Send prayers. Send love. Hug people.

@iharryshum Praying for Sandy Hook, Newtown CT. There is no reason for this to ever happen. So sad and angry...
‏@iharryshum
Stop interviewing children for ratings.

@piersmorgan Never seen President Obama so upset. And he just ordered the gun control debate to happen. Good for him, true leadership in a crisis.

‏@blakeshelton My heart is so heavy right now... I can't shake it off.

@joshuagates My heart is heavy and angry. There is another way: A land without guns - How Japan virtually eliminated gun violence: http://www.theatlantic.com/international/archive/2012/07/a-land-without-guns-how-japan-has-virtually-eliminated-shooting-deaths/260189/#.UMuKj7Q0kw4.twitter …

@ezraklein Gun control may not be the right answer to mass shootings. But not talking about what to do is definitely the wrong answer.

Aaron Paul ‏@aaronpaul_8
If any other plague was leaving piles of dead bodies all over the country, including children, our country would figure it out. #FUCKGUNS

Michael Muhney ‏@michaelmuhney
31 school shootings since Columbine. Real change must be DEMANDED. Our forefathers never wanted this. Hug your kids today.

David Anders ‏@QuestionAnders
As much a I use them in my pretend life in TV & movies I abhor guns and the douche bags in my country who stand in the way of stricter laws

Just walked out of my girl's winter concert. The kids finished with 'Imagine'. So beautiful. Then I checked Twitter. Now I want to throw up.

sorry, that was tacky.

this isn't' funny

it's not him

Was this profile updated just now? Reports I read said the shooter is dead.

I remember when the Aurora shooting happened people were posting the FB profile of some guy with the same name who wasn't the shooter. Apparently the guy was getting horrific FB messages. I don't think he even lived in Colorado.

Man, if this is real, that's terrible.

Apparently it was a guy named Ryan Lanza, but the media found the wrong Facebook profile and posted his picture. =/

he needs to change his Facebook name for a bit...:/

I thought it was confirmed that its a different Ryan Lanza?

He's certainly not handling it super well but I can imagine being young and having this happen, hearing your name everywhere and having people think it was you would be quite upsetting.

I honestly hope he sues the fuck our of a lot of media outlets.

some sick fuck

Are we supposed to send kids to school with guns so they can defend themselves? I love Blake, but come on!

oh blake SMFH

Semi-relevant.

Makes no damn sense. I'm not exactly sure how his "defend and guard" is meant to be implemented. snipers patrolling schools? Teachers carrying guns in holsters?

WTF? Do kindergarten teachers need be armed to do their job.

fuck this piece of shit. I'm too mad to even his the caps key.

Yeah, IDK, his tweets are giving kind of mixed messages.

lord can he not.

i went straight to his comment cause he is married to miranda lambert, huge republican and gun-supporter. was not surprised by what he said and can't understand how he maintained the "nice apolitical guy" image for so long.

Get off my planet you moonshine guzzling Jesus-fucker.

He could be thinking about other security measures such as not allowing people who shouldn't be into schools?

I don't necessarily think he's thinking of strapping kids with weapons.

omg a bunch of people died because of guns. MOAR GUNS!!!!

umm his response is conflicting.

i've burst into tears at least three times today

i haven't felt this upset since 9/11

:-(

this image gets to me the most of any of them out there :(

omg

:(

OMG I WISH I WAS THERE :(

:( poor bbs

I want to hug them :-(

They need to leave these damn kids ALONE.

......

Ugh. These poor children.

omg I wish I could hug them. Poor things.

um can we not?

it's disgusting enough that people are putting kids on the news

So sad.

I gasped when I saw this

the poor kids :( so heartbreaking

these bbs :(

Noooooooooooooo!

I'm sorry you went through such a terrific experience

Same, but my freshman year.

i am so sorry :(

Well, as I have been corrected I used the wrong word but I meant well.
