Once you teach the populace to ignore gun laws, you can take them away. Your history is wrong. Do you ever even try to confirm anything Mark? Hitler did NOT take all of the guns away from the people. I do not fight fascists because I think I can win. I fight them because they are fascists. Chris Hedges A riot is the language of the unheard. -Martin Luther King, Jr. |

If guns don't kill people, people kill people, then the way to stop this is to kill all the people. Oh wait.... |

Like the ban on grass. Or the ban on crack. Or the ban on junk. They know they can't afford the jail cells! |

The simple fact is........ And this has been stated by others. RELIGION has killed more people than other men intended. My faith. My bible. My truth. Man is the only failure here. His name is Jesus. I am one of the few here to tell you about it. "Freedom is just Chaos, with better lighting." Alan Dean Foster |

RELIGION has killed more people than other men intended. And rightly so, trying to blame violence and death solely on religion, when we know the USSR had no religion. Such a statement seems to be about as silly as saying that atheism has killed millions in the 20th century. Both simplistic views. |

RELIGION has killed more people than other men intended. Here is a link with some more information. There is a good post in this link that describes wars done for religion, and not for religion, but I wanted to include the whole link. http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20101216201242AABY4JB Steve Warning, addicted to SETI crunching!

RELIGION has killed more people than other men intended. I have not forgotten and have, I am sure, discussed those things here before. I would not accuse you of trying to forget all the killing via Stalin and his ilk during the atheist rule of the USSR. I would not expect you to go for a simplistic answer. |

Another interesting gun fact. Talk about hypocrites! If you follow all the links on that article, you'll find one from 13 news which states that the school itself has a statue of a soldier carrying a gun & grenade. If they win, then they should be forced to remove that statue! |
