Christina Grimmie RIP

I just learned about this tragedy today. I've never watched "The Voice", but obviously she had talent and a bright future ahead. Only 22 years old! A life snuffed out by some POS. She was actually signing autographs when she was shot to death. What a tragedy.

This should turn of artist doing signings after the show. Rightfully so.
Tragic loss.

Yep, no doubt. I'm sure other artists are thinking wow...that could happen to me too...at least in the gun crazy USA! Paul, be grateful Australia doesn't have something as ridiculous as our 2nd Amendment. Actually, the Amendment is not that bad. It's just been purposefully misinterpreted by the gun nuts in my country. I will guarantee that the majority of our Founding Fathers, if alive today, would not agree with its implementation. A lot has changed in America since 1787.

Thanks, Mo. Of course I wrote this before learning about what had happened in Orlando, Florida - 50 people dead! - the worst mass shooting in USA history. It's so nice that the NRA and the 2nd Amendment make it so easy for terrorists to get guns! Of course, I say that sarcastically. Our society needs major changes. This is disgusting.

It should be noted all the good, wonderful Americans in Orlando who are lined up to donate blood for the injured. There's a huge line of people waiting in line to give to those in need. God bless them.

Just as car lots make it easy for drunk drivers to obtain cars.....impossible to predict what an idiot does. Stupid to punish everyone for the acts of a few.

Wrong site to air your political views though.

I guess I shouldn't have turned this political, but it just peeves me every time I think about all the guns in America. I've only held one once in my life, and I hope I never do again.

No you shouldn't James, I couldn't disagree with you more. Not a place for it here.

James, please don't talk negatively about guns. The United States is 25 times worse than the rest of the world, and shut up about it! There are Yankee autographs to worry about! We shoot kindergardners and gay people but is my Joe DiMaggio real?

There are forums for everything.

I go there when I want to vent my views.

This is not the forum for that.

for some reason, there are people on here that just don't understand that, Christopher. this is not about whether we agree or disagree about guns, its just not the place to discuss it.

Exactly, Terrier.
