Cars don't kill people, people kill people! You never hear of an outcry for car control if a drunk driver , who is out of their mind, kills someone with their car. Yet when someone who is out of their mind kills someone with a gun everyone is quick to blame guns and have them banned. I say ban cars!

As I said earlier, you don't head an outcry about car control [b]because drinking and driving is already banned[/b]. What do you idiots not get about this?

You cannot deny the role of guns here--if this turd didn't have access to one he wouldn't have been able to inflict this harm.

Your gun rights will not be infringed upon-this is about keeping these deadly weapons out of the hands of those who cannot be trusted. We need safety mechanisms on guns to only allow the person its registered to to fire it. We need psych exams. We need deep background checks. We need rigorous safety examinations. If you think having to go through this process is infringing on your rights, then perhaps you aren't fit to own a gun.

If the government wants you dead, they'll blow up your house. Your shitting pistol won't do anything against the air force. This isn't about armed revolt and protection against ones own government--there's something deeply wrong with the gun culture on the right. We don't see this bullshit in any other corner of the world.

Original Message We are hearing already after this horrendous shooting that we need "tough gun laws." But is that really the solution? There are a LOT of things that kill more people in the U.S. than guns. Take a look:

Homicides due to guns is 3.7 people per 100,000 people in U.S. (That's about 11,000 people.)

Cars in U.S. kill 40,000 people per year (guns 11,000)

Imagine a plane full of people crashing, killing everyone on board, every single day. That’s how many people die on America’s roads daily, says the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety.
“Motor vehicle crashes in the United States result in more than 40,000 deaths per year,” says the Institute in the journal Injury Prevention. “That is, on each of the 6,209 consecutive days included in this study, an equivalent of a plane load or more of people died on the roads.”
