Anecdotal evidence like this is hardly compelling proof of anything. You know better than this Gary. So if anything, this is actually evidence that gun control works wonders. Sure, gun violence still happens, and will always happen, but its a lot rarer in places with good common sense gun control laws. |

But they can not be prevented, which seems to be the selling point of gun control. Murder also can't be prevented. Does that mean there shouldn't be laws against murder? Ive never met a proponent of gun control laws that argues that gun control will completely 100% of the time prevent gun violence. The only people who Ive seen arguing that point are people who are against gun control laws when they are talking about what pro gun control people supposedly argue. Like you just did. |

In the end: It is about who to trust (Individuals - Controller's), and who can do the MOST damage (Individual's - Controller's). Again, that argument only makes sense if an armed populace actually prevents a government from doing all that damage. It doesn't. What you have done is allowing to let individuals do more damage as well, besides also leaving the capacity of the government to kill millions of people. |

Just what is it with American schools & guns? Mentally ill in America have more rights than the sane. You can't segregate them because that would damage their fragile souls. |

50 separate school shootings have now occurred this year in the U.S. and the year hasn't finished yet. Are the lives of your children/grandchildren over there worth so little just so you can have the right to own your guns without any good reason? |

50 separate school shootings have now occurred this year in the U.S. and the year hasn't finished yet. We also have a sorry justice system. If you beat your dog to death you will most likely get a stiffer sentance than killing someone. Poor Jhonny was just brought up in a bad enviroment. Its all BS. Put the bastard in jail for life for killing someone. And get these sick ass walking mental cases off the damn streets. I speak from personnel first hand knowledge. I have a relative who should be in a nut house. But he hasnt done anything bad yet. He has been arrested numerous time for acting like a lout. Resisting arrest,Driving with out a license or insurance. He is violent and should be on medicine that he refuses to take. He is a useless piece of human flesh who should be in some kind of incarceration but isnt. But lets blame the second ammendment? I think not. Lets blame the bleeding freaking hearts who stick it up our asses by lettings these killers walk our streets. [/quote] Old James |
