Gun’s aren’t the problem. Crazy assed murders are the problem.
 Quoting: Resister


Exactly, I don't know why they don't ban all violent R rated movies that depict gun violence first as the depiction of the violence is what must first instigate the psychopath's mentality.

On that line they might as well ban video games that are violent, and for that matter ban all history books that record violence for any purpose whatsoever, oh except communist inspired violence who's end always justifies the means.

Stop distracting from the real issue. Americans cannot be trusted with guns. Now definitively proven. Gun owners are a different breed. I've met them. They have an evil lust in their eyes when discussing guns.

So lets put this into perspective. If they ban them, and they go on the black market. Wouldnt that mean criminals who would buy them on the black market would have them and people who buy guns to hunt and protect themselves would be without arms?

You can use a knife to cut fruit, or stab people. You can use a hammer to hammer a nail in the wall or kill people. The point is people who want to cause harm to others, whether it be through building bombs or using other means will find a way.

Why do people who would never do such a thing lose the right to bear arms because of someone elses crime or behavior?

The issue is the different mentalities of different people. Because most of us here would never have that thought enter our mind to do what these fucking wastes of flesh did to these children this morning.

All those children would not have been murdered if security had guns!
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 25672410


Thats exactly right!!! As much as I hate to say it...these schools are soft kill targets...These schools NEED ARMED SECURITY!! Banning weapons is NOT the answer...when a psychpath is determined to do something they WILL use any weapon they can find. These people need to be put down as fast as possible. Its EXACTLY as the former FBI Lt. Just said on fox news...MANY TOWNS HAVE A POLICE OFFICER THATS ASSIGNED TO THE SCHOOLS BUT THEY CANT STAY ALL DAY BECAUSE MANY TOWNS ONLY HAVE 8-15 OFFICERS TOTAL DUE TO BUDGET CUTS!!!!
When... WHEN will our officials figure out that NO GUN ZONES ARE ALWAYS the targets of these types of crimes!!! ITS SAD WHEN THE CRIMINAL ELEMENTS ARE SMARTER THAN OUR OFFICIALS!! I am just sickened at the events that are taking place in schools today.

Re: For all you who want to ban guns because Americans are so violent..
Because of the laws that prohibit teachers and faculty from possessing a firearm in schools this incident was not able to be stopped or prevented. There needs to be open carry law implemented in the US and then and only the will people have the right to defend themselves from from a tragedy like this. The government will never take guns from the people who want to hurt others, and now is the time to demand that our 2nd ammendment right is honored so that the rest of us good and law abiding citizens have the right to protect ourselves. Banning guns will surely make this type of tragedy more commom than ever before. We have to stand up and demand the right to protect ourselves. The government and police will not and cannot protect us as we have just witnessed here. Living in a law abiding community where the general public are nice and good people and where we have a police department and where crime is almost non existent, these elements all offer a false sense of security. Let us all pray for the families of the deceased and may God see them all through this.

Re: For all you who want to ban guns because Americans are so violent..
I've often said this, unless you're going to ban knives, kitch knives, axes, saws, swords, fire, certain chemicals, fireworks, teaching people martial arts, or teaching people how to fight.

We should all just be wrapped in bubble wrap in round rooms.

Hell you can even lock people in prison with access to nothing, and they still come up with weapons, drugs, etc.

Banning guns will ensure one thing, and that is that no one will be able to fight back and the only people left with the guns and total power will be Government, who now look like military.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 29706176


why have a ban on anything then? Why stop at guns? Why not cars with turret mounted machine guns? Or why not allow open carry grenade launchers? Or how about Ninja swords?

Your argument and pro gun arguments are so stupid. You take a position as if that is the correct position and then work your logic from there.

If you're silly constitution which is NOW, just a goddamned piece of paper, was written earlier you would make the same argument about bows and arrows and open carrying your bow. If it was done later, you would scream that it was your right to have napalm and grenades for your own safety.

The problem with all you gun tards is that you take a position that happened by chance and argue as if it is the be all and end all, and then you IGNORE the facts of the world that prove time and again, that carrying does not make a safer country.

Keep your straw men at home, and use them for target practice.

So how many people have died from drug overdoses from the ban on heroine, meth, and cocaine? Those are illegal drugs and they kill people every day. Only criminals use them. I don't understand the ignorance of people saying we should do the same thing with guns and make them illegal.
The constitutions of most of our States and the United States assert, that all power is inherent in the people; that they may exercise it by themselves, in all cases to which they think themselves competent, or they may act by representatives, freely and equally chosen; that it is their right and duty to be at all times armed; that they are entitled to freedom of person, freedom of religion, freedom of property, and freedom of the press. -Thomas Jefferson in a letter to John Cartwright, June 5, 1824

You are a moron. First of all you do not understand natural rights nor the principle underlying the second amendment. That principle is A well regulated militia, necessary for the security of a free state. This means that it is the right of the people to be able to organize themselves into groups for the purposes of defending their communities and persons against outside threats.

Gun ownership is a derivative of this principle, the 2nd amendment is not and has never been about the right to own guns it is about the people to be able to defend themselves using whatever means necessary, if that means tanks, then so be it in today's world that would extend to some pretty powerful weaponry.

There are some differences, though I'm also against this gun-ban, the intent behind the war on drugs, was never to get them out of america. Also, I believe, those overdoses and stuff are in some kind a consequence of the illegality.

Americans have that "wild west and cowboy" mentality
it's deeply rooted, so no way they will give up from the guns

on a contrary they will continue to buy and collect more and more

all this reminds to cell phones revolution, when parents have been asked why they buy such phone to the 7 year old kid who just went to the school, they usually answered - for his safety, so I always know where he is. wall suicide
