Just as 9/11 justified the end of some freedoms, so will the Newtown shooting. | |

¤ Itz A DreaM ¤  User ID: 5781878 United States12/15/2012 05:38 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The answer is not gun control imo, but rather Education and Love! Banning firearms will not prevent someone who wishes to do evil from being able acquiring one. The problem is much deeper and the convenient idea that banning firearms is the answer is wrong. It doesn't address the root of the problem. Just my opinion.  "For someone who was never meant for this world, I must confess I'm suddenly having a hard time leaving it. Of course, they say every atom in our bodies was once part of a star. Maybe I'm not leaving... maybe I'm going home." — Vincent, Gattaca |

From an outsiders perspective, it's just crazy. What is so bad in the US that everyone needs a gun? People going around and doing shit like what just happened. You have to understand, in this messed up reality guns exist. And until we invent laser death rays, the gun is the most dangerous this around. So if you don't have one and you are being shot at, having your own gun allows you to not be dead. Is that putting it simple enough for you simpletons out there? It's not like everybody in america is just going to strike a truce and say ok i wont shoot you bro. Pandora's box of guns was opened a loooooong time ago and it is impossible to put all of the guns back in the box. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 25757172 Just because you haven't needed it yet, doesn't mean you will never need it. Should the people of afghanistan just put their weapons away since they didn't have military training? How well have they done against the british, the russians and the americans? Your logic is fucked might want to get that checked. Also your american values are in question. You sound like a bit of a traitor. |

Falling down is a part of life, getting back up is living. ~ Life is about choices, you get to make them each and every day of your life. ~ Capitalization is the difference between helping your Uncle Jack off a horse and helping your uncle jack off a horse.~ Only in America... do we use the word 'politics' to describe the process so well: 'Poloi' in Greek meaning 'many' and 'tics' meaning 'bloodsucking creatures'.~ “When a government is dependent for money upon the bankers, they and not the government leaders control the nation. This is because the hand that gives is above the hand that takes. Financiers are without patriotism and without decency.” If you're not a liberal at twenty you have no heart, if you're not a conservative at forty you have no brain. Winston Churchill |

How many more people must die? #waroncars #carcontrol Following this non-sequitur logic, that is. General prohibitions on gun ownership affect only the law-abiding.

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 27834680  Panama12/15/2012 07:53 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I believe that if the US government attempts to ban firearms, all hell will break loose in the states. If you have not spent a lot of time around Americans, it is difficult to understand their love affair with guns. Firearms are not just weapons to them. To Americans, gun ownership = freedom, independence, and sovereignty. Aussies will give up their Vegemite before Americans will give up their guns. I just don't see it happening. It would be easier to get New Yorkers to tear down the Statue of Liberty. I have no doubt Obama will try to ban guns, but I think it's going to backfire on him. |

They also fight proper regulation and enforcement of gun purchase regulations. The gun lobby has long ceased to act responsibly. And rightly so, if you ask me. If people cannot be trusted with freedoms, they are taken away. At some point it becomes obvious that the right should no longer exist. |

The president just said politics be damned, something will be done. We know what that means. They are going to ban high capacity magazines again just like in 1994, and probably move to ban AR15s and AKs with no grandfathering of existing rifles. If they do that. . .We could be looking at the people in an armed revolt against the gun confiscators. The 2nd civil war will start if they require people to turn in their legally owned and bought rifles.
