Another shooting (updated)

I was surprised mine was the first post mentioned the shooting in Wall Street Breakfast at Seeking Alpha. This post received a lot of 'likes' and as expected a lot of 'dislikes' by the gun owners. You decide which side you should be on.

MGM lost a lot in the shooting that took 59 lives. It is the stock risk (after market risk and sector risk) and this time we cannot control. However, you can tell someone knows before the terrorist attacks by the increased shorts. It is cruel to think of losing money during the disaster.

We’ve been praying for thousands of years for world peace and the world has not been peaceful. We need to take actions for disasters caused by humans. We need to reduce our efforts and expenses in wars and use them for natural disasters such as the damages done by the recent hurricanes.

Traders should find some companies such as housing construction companies and supplies and China should benefit from the damages caused by the hurricanes. Traders should wear two hats, one for investing and one for humanity by donating part of their profits to humanity.

Which countries besides us let their citizens bear arms? Israel (58 killed by guns in 2016) and Switzerland (34 killed) come to mind. They do not have constant shootings like ours (10,728 killed). Learn from them.

NRA is so powerful and wealthy. It controls our politicians. These puppets are supposed to serve us and they did not treat it seriously in the last election. I’m politically neutral.

Be realistic! We need to control guns gradually and realistically. They are more guns than citizens and they're voters - however, they and their families could be victims too. First, take out some guns and the enhancements that can turn into automatic guns. Second, limit the number of fire arms one can buy in a year. You can buy a drone for less than $800 from Amazon and enable it to drop bombs. Is it horrible? Third, check the mental stage of the potential gun buyers.

Hope someday we and our children can go to concerts, school, movies, Marathons... without worrying being shot at.

When will we WAKE up even after so many shootings?

Give peace a chance!
