  1. Obama: "Meaningful action" needed to combat gun violence: usat.ly/Z815Iy What should that action be? #DailyChat #Newtown
  2. @USATODAY #DailyChat # NewTown More focus on the mental health care system in America, less on gun control.
  3. @USATODAY Mental illness/prescription drugs are the much bigger issue.There is no "stigma" that surrounds gun ownership! #DailyChat
  4. #DailyChat what can b done?guncontrol alone won't work,prayer in school alone won't work,change the culture of violence in entertainment? ??
  5. "@USATODAY: What "meaningful action" should be taken to combat gun violence? #DailyChat", Need to train and arm select teachers like Israel.
  6. @USATODAY look at what other developed countries have for gun control. You rarely hear about mass shootings in Western Europe #dailychat
  7. “@USATODAY: #DailyChat” just like r drug laws, little can b done 2 stop a determined psycho from obtaining what he needs 2 satisfy the beast
  8. Buying and continuing to be able to possess a gun should be more arduous than obtaining and keeping a drivers license. #DailyChat
  9. #DailyChat It is not gun violence. It is human violence. It is the lack of respect for human life. Abortion, violence on tv, video games,etc
  10. @USATODAY #dailychat honestly allow carry conceal everywhere..do not create safe, no gun, zones where crimnal can go & there is no defense
