I do not know where people get this notion that the nazi's closed christian schools ar had their symbols removed.

Those people seceretly admire the tactics but don't want to be seen as espousing the same ideal so they repeat a lie until it becomes truth, but that is the key to building a religion; the repetition of lies until they are believed to be truths.

They in fact closed secular schools, because of their belief that secular schools could not teach morals.

However, as the American Founders understood, the lessons of history endure because human nature never changed. All the human emotions are the same today as in Egypt of the pharaohs or China in the time of Confucius: Love, hate, ambition, the lust for power, kindness, generosity, and inhumanity. The good and bad of human nature is simply poured into new vehicles created by science and technology.


You continue To Be Da Man.

Death from Pseudo Science, "Real Science" and Unintended Consequences Of Technology Continue.

Human Nature. Evolution Cannot Improve It.

Can Nature Be Improved Upon? Not Human Nature. Any Nature.

There Is No Evolving, Only Replication, Adaptation and Extinction.

Lamestream media is downplaying the numbers at the "festivities" in D.C. (truly closer to 5 million) so as to seem less tempting for madmen. Madmen like to perform to millions, not hundreds of thousands.

In fact, there is no possible way to restrict access to guns in the United States. You might restrict "new" gun acquisition but there are 300 million firearms already out there.

It will be interesting to see what will be put out there for possible new legislation; but it will not change the likely-hood of another tragic event. I suspect there will be something done on background checks and 30-round magazines and possibly a renewal of being able to legally buy fully automatic military weapons for private citizen's use. In fact most weapons out there are semi-automatic as were the one's used in recent events. They will fire as fast as you can pull the trigger--reloading with a new magazine or clip takes only a very few seconds.

Private transactions cannot be enforced and criminals, crazies and terrorists aren't likely to follow procedures to begin with.

We all might prefer an environment where there are no firearms needed, however, the cat is out of the bag.

The discussion should be on how do we protect ourselves and our children in public places from the insanity of those few people in our society. Perhaps there is no sure solution to this other than becoming an Israeli-style armed camp.

Why do these mass shootings always happen in "gun free" zones?

Because the owners of semi-auto assault weapons are in fact cowards.

Because gun-free zones are generally areas where there will be lots of potential victims so you get a bigger splash on the news.

That has been suggested before.
The killers want to live in infamy.
But, wait! They usually commit suicide.
So, they just want their name(s) remembered long after their deaths.
To that, I respond, what proof do we have that, for example, Klebold and Harris thought this way. Who did they tell this to? Did they post it somewhere on the interwebs? Was it written in their journals?
Provide me evidence that they were looking for infamy, and not just looking to get their jollies as much as they could as they shot so many rounds and killed so many people.

Message 1329931 - Posted: 21 Jan 2013, 20:22:12 UTC - in response to Message 1329922.  

So what evidence suggests making the entire U.S. a gun free zone will reduce these mass killings?


When I am the person making such a claim, I'll provide the backing.
If I cannot provide the backing, I won't make the claim. See how that works?
In the meantime, answer the REASONABLE question I posed (as it is claim some have made), or talk about something else, instead of trying to derail.
P.S.-how's the non-hyperbolic posting working, like 5 gallon tanks, eh?

ES you are ignoring American exceptionalism. There are people in this country who believe that we don't have to behave the way the rest of mankind does.
