ANOTHER mass shooting? TIme to grow up folks; HOW do we address this?

[DiamondDave]

You cannot eliminate tragedies.. they will happen.. whether it be with a bomb, a gun, a sword, a bat, a halberd, or whatever else...

But you do not restrict the ability of people to protect themselves, in order to protect them

 

[OKTexas]

Why do people NEED guns? Hunting and sport are wants, not needs. Not in this day and age.

What about the people that use them about 2 million times a year for personal protection, should they depend on you? I think I prefer my .40 S&W.

So the skill or result of the person dictates what is acceptable... plenty of shootings with no deaths either... Personally seen a person walk away from a grenade attack with non-lethal shrapnel wounds. Does that mean grenades should be allowed??

A HUNDRED americans killed EVERY DAY on the highways and nothing is done about that. Reckless driving dwarfs the gun problem. You libs need to shut up about guns until you demand things like

1. national speed limit of 50 mph

2. Drunk driving and texting while driving automatic felonies with 5 year license susp.

3. $500 fine for running a red

Somehow, the USA went from its inception to the mid-1960s before we experienced a major school mass shooting (University of Texas...1966). Since then, it has gone to High School, Middle School, and now Kindergarten. What happened? Guns were available all of that time (couple hundred years). Why all of the violence now?

These are not the guns I grew up with. Those were lever or bolt action hunting rifles. These guns are civilian knockoffs of guns designed only for the killing of other human beings. And that is how they are being used.

Also, there was not the glorification of the killing of one fellow human being. Look at the number of magazines in the grocery store with war weopons on the front cover. Guns usefull only for killing other humans.

But the supporters of the NRA make big money selling their sick wares to very sick Americans.

Yes, I am angry. I have had enough. I want to see the end of the NRA, they have harmed this nation enough. There have been enough of these tragedies. More guns equals more violence and death. More innocent lives destroyed for the wealth of the merchents of death. I think you are going to see this reaction across the nation.

There are two dozen threads on this. Are you such an attention whore that you couldn't find one to put your opinion in?

Yeah and if there were no guns and this happened and people were killed you all would be calling for banning knives..then someone rams a car into a crowd of people you all probably call for banning cars

good grief

As passed by the Congress:

A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.

As ratified by the States and authenticated by Thomas Jefferson, Secretary of State:


A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed

exactly, individuals owning guns mentioned nowhere at all

Individuals are also not mentioned in the First Amendment, turd. To you also propose to license printing presses?

selling their sick wares..wtf
and a lot of people want an end to the killing of children BY ABORTION...so you can want all you want eh

Well, now we have it. The 'Conservatives' on this board are just fine with twenty little children being gunned down. Just don't breath a word that the availability of the weopons might be part of the problem. And the sick psychology of the worship of guns by the far right.

 

[eots]

as stated in a different thread better control of psychiatric medications...
Also not that the rise of these drugs also fits the time frame that is being mentioned.
The number of Americans prescribed these drugs approximately 49 Million. The very bad and scary effects and side effects associated with the use of these drugs.
Forget banning Guns, don't blame the NRA
The real culprit here are the pharmaceutical manufacturers and the Doctor's that freely prescribe them.
It is these drugs that need to be banned not guns.

UK - Major antidepressants banned
All major antidepressant drugs other than Prozac, known as SSRIs, are set to be be banned for children under 18 by the Government today, amid concerns that the drugs cause young patients to commit suicide.

Seroxat was said to have been prescribed to up to 8,000 children by June and was used by 600,000 to 800,000 adults. It was banned after research showed it could trigger suicidal thoughts and thoughts of self-harm.

Guns have been available throughout..but only recently have we been drugging children en masse.

So you think bullets would have bounced off the kids had they not been allegedly drugged?



This is what I enjoy about the internets: Even an idiot can be heard.

My uncle is alive because he carries a gun. Without it, he'd be dead...and likely, so would I.

DONE! Now about his gun thing...

Thats part of the perks of living in a "free" society. Others needs are not determined by your opinion of what their needs should be. In fact, a person's needs are not even relevant to the conversation.

What need is there for you as an individual to say whatever stupid shit you want? It serves little or no purpose and does not promote the greater good.

We don't need cars either. Certainly not cars that do 120 mph. But you support that. THINK
