OP, let's imagine that we woke up tomorrow, and *POOF*, the second amendment was taken out of the constitution, and no citizen was allowed to own a weapon. How would the government follow through with this? Would they knock on the doors of gun owners and say "Hello sir, the second amendment is no longer a part of the constitution, so we need your firearms." Only a small minority at best, I would say 15-20% of gun owners, would actually submit to this and give up their weapons. Do you honestly expect people to just line up in front of the Capitol Building and toss their guns into a fire, and say "Good riddance", and we will never have another violent act again? That is insanity, gun control will not prevent the crazies from hurting people. What is stopping the next Jared Loughner from running into a kindergarten school with a machete and killing 30 children? The police? I am willing to bet money that a violent psychopath could kill at least 45 people with a machete before the cops made it there and apprehended him.

Take away LEGAL guns and the criminals will be the only ones armed. Use some friggin common sense!!!!


You use some common sense... Were the latest killings done by a 'criminal'? No they weren't..

I totally agree with the OP, America will never fix the gun crime issue until they tighten the gun laws. Its too easy to kill a person if you have access to guns, it is of course always possible to kill a person but these mass killings are something we dont see in countries with tighter gun laws.

No-one is saying that it would be easy to tighten the gun laws in America but if you want to stop mass killings like this you have to do something. The children and adults that were killed recently would not have been killed if gun laws were tightened and I didn't see their access to guns preventing this tragedy...


again, calling bs. I could go get an unregistered rifle right now if i wanted. Laws wont change that.

Yes true....however most of you are to gutless to kill up close and personal. Bare hands and knives take skill and patience and some degree of bottle. A gun you can sit back and just pull a little trigger.


Oh so you think it is just fine for big he-men to rape young girls and beat up old women???

Guns are an equalizer so the big ham-fisted bullies have to think twice THANK GOODNESS.

your obviously UNEDUCATED! To bad all of the people that got shot and all of the people in the area didn't have 2 GUNS each on them with TRAINING! This way once anyone even saw him with a gun out he would have been DEAD! The OP should really grab a book and some common sense on this subject!

It should be a law that EVERYONE has to have a gun! At 14 you are trained and GIVEN a gun! Guns should be free to everyone and so should ammo! Also, if you are found out and about without your gun, then you should be charged and put in jail for not protecting your country! NUFF SAID!

Well maybe you need to look at the big picture... There were like 10 million guns in america that day, that weren't used for slaughtering innocent people. Gun control, handguns are banned here, I can still get one if I wanted to. The only thing banning guns does is open up another large avenue for black market money to be flooded to the gangbangers.



its late here and I am very tired but I will try to answer...

If I developed a serious mental health problem in the next month or year the chances of me being able to get my hands on a gun are close to zero, I wouldnt even know where to go.... Out of the '10 million guns that were in America that day' how many of them have been used to kill or could find their way into the hands of a person that might kill?

Your post is so ridculous that it is hardly worth a response.
Get a life before you get banned for trolling.......see definition below in case you don't know what that means:

"In Internet slang, a troll is someone who posts inflammatory, extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community, such as an online discussion forum, chat room, or blog, with the primary intent of provoking other users into a desired emotional response[1] or of otherwise disrupting normal on-topic discussion.[2] In addition to the offending poster, the noun troll can also refer to the provocative message itself, as in "that was an excellent troll you posted". While the term troll and its associated action trolling are primarily associated with Internet discourse, media attention in recent years has made such labels highly subjective, with trolling being used to describe intentionally provocative actions outside of an online context."....

Oh really? I am the most patriotic person there is. I support Government. I support higher taxes. I support tax breaks for the rich. I support the increase in the money available for the DoD.

I support the Industrial complex to a large degree.

Im not the one who thinks truthers should be heard. I do not accuse Government of mass killing without 100% hard proof which we ALL know none of you have. You do not have anything but mere speculation and babble.

I support the Patriot Act. You Sir, are the extremist. You neither deserve nor warrant the use of a gun. You are no better than that guy who shot the poor congress woman. You support that kind of behavior as a GUN lover.


Call 'extremist' all you want. What you have said right here exposes you as a sheep, a troll, or both, and nothing more.

So now you are advocating a whole country full of trained killers with guns? How many times has a gunman killed multiple victims in America without once being taken down by your gun wielding heroes?

What all of you "anti-gun" people don't understand is that guns are readily accessible regardless if you are a law-abiding citizen or not. Hell, criminals have an easier time of getting guns than law abiders do. You take away or ban guns from law abiding citizens, the only ones that will have them are the criminals. This isn't to mention the fact that everything from meth to crack to marijuana is all illegal, yet, people still use it AND buy it every day. And guess what? Most of them are criminals with criminal records.


These knee-jerk reactions to these types of events are crap, and are nothing but trolling. I'm calling you out OP:

Obvious troll is obvious.




Peace be with you.

I guess you can chalk this one down to a case of "He hates you for your freedom", literally.

Never though I'd actually say that in this context.

Is this thread an excuse for people to post witty responses to the topic creator's troll in order to amass a giant amount of stars, because I can't see the first 7 or so responses having less than 50 stars by the day's end.

If so, you should be thanking him for giving you easy stars.

Being trained with a gun does not make you a killer, let alone a trained one. This is such garbage rhetoric.

A gun is a tool. It only becomes a weapon when used as a weapon.

As i said before "from my cold, dead hand".

The right to bear arms isnt in place to protect us from criminals..........its in place to protect us from people like you and the kind of goverenment that would "put its citizens in their place"

The mistake the op is making is assuming that guns and the constitution are the root of the problems.

They are not.

A gun will not do anything without a hand to guide...same holds true for laws.

The problems in the US are summed up by saying the wrong hands are guiding the laws....

Get back to basics, back to the constitution and I bet you would see a decline in gun violence as well.

Goes without saying I think, but here it is anyways.

There is an immense amount of "tenseness" in the US (maybe just my view from the outside).

Remove the tension causing things (lobbyists IMHO) and you will see a drop in violence.

where has it been the case that young girls or old women have defended themselves from said attacks using guns? I'd stake my life on the fact that more gun crimes are committed than prevented by the ownership of guns

You can't be an extremist for exercising your Constitutional rights. Sorry, but the Constitution gives us certain protections and rights, and you and the likes of you will never take those rights away from American citizens.

I am a proud gun owner. I have no criminal history nor mental illness that would cause me to not be able to have a gun.

Actually, I am. As I've already stated, I have no criminal history nor mental illness. That kid did have a criminal history and did have a mental illness. Your accusations are flawed and now debunked.

You support that kind of behavior as a GUN lover.

Do I now? Can you show where I support that behavior? I'm pretty sure I said in another thread that that kid should be put to death immediately for his actions and that he doesn't belong in our society.

People who would take our liberties and freedoms away don't belong in our society either.

Seriously, learn about the subject before you start spouting off about it!
