Has anyone noticed that the more they take away from us the more dangerous life becomes?
How many mass school shootings were there 50 years ago?
The only one I can recall was in 1967 teh Texas cloacktower sniper and the autopsy found a brain tumor the siz of a tennis ball in his head so in this case if he had been taken alive (he wasn't) I would have believed an insanity defence.
Start teaching gun safety in the first grade.
If more people carried guns, the safer we would be as a whole.
Forget nude body scanners and strip searches to fly just hand every passanger a loaded pistol as they enter the plane no terrorist would dare.
There are more mass murders because there are more groups of people unable to defend themselves.
With this kind of view why not just give every country in the world nuclear weapons so as there are no wars?
You must see the foolishness in this statement.
I have said it many times before - extreme points of view are are some of the most dangerous things to society.
Tell me, what the F do nukes have to do with it? Have you ever been shot at or had someone try to kill you? I have.
Teach gun safety and awareness from a young age.
First of all VforVendettea was saying how more people should carry guns and this would somehow prevent gun violence! He also said to forget scanners and guards in airports and just to give weapons to all the passengers!
I was saying by his logic, we should just hand all countries nuclear weapons! If you fail to see the relevance then you are the one who is foolish! As for being on the recieving end of gun violence, I don't know why it matters but in fact I have been shot at and have had a gun held to my head on more then one occasion! I believe gun safety and awareness are very important but i don't think it's necessary for the whole population to carry weapons! I think it's way to easy to purchase guns and believe if it was at all possible, that banning them would be a great accomplishment! As this is impossible we should at least ban the sales of hand guns, assult weapons and ammunition! Everyone possessing weapons is just adding fuel to the fire! The man who did this was obviously not worried about dying as he most likely killed himself! Even if someone would have killed him before he accomplised the slaying of those innocents, there is the problem of callateral damage through adding more instruments of destruction to a highly imbalanced population! Though I can't say for sure that more people would die from this scenario! I do have that opinion that nothing would be better and believe this would cause more casualties for the police and those they come into contact with! Then to think of how many people would use these weapons because of jealousy and anger! I don't believe arming the populus as a deterrent would offset these deaths! To arm the public is a foolish concept in my opinion and I am allowed one just as you are allowed to believe whatever conceptual ideas that your pervese viewpoint sees!
Weapons are a form of power and it has been shown how power corrupts! At a time when we should be reducing the amount of destructive outlets there are too many intent on increasing this!
Uh... so you are saying if someone shot the shooter it would have been worse because of "collateral damage"? What if every year in school kids had to take gun safety courses. Taught from a young age to be aware of their surroundings, and if it ever came down to it to be AWARE of what is BEHIND the would-be killers.
Why would this plan fail? Of course some couldn't carry guns. There are crazy people.
If people were armed in that school we would have less deaths. A lot less probably.
I still don't see your logic. Everyone should carry a gun that is mentally competent to do so.

People can't legally buy guns if they have a felony.
I know this will sound harsh and like an invasion of privacy but maybe there should also be a list for people diagnosed with OCD, Bi-Polar, autism and all those other mental disorders that also shouldn't be able to legally buy them. Apparently the shooter had Asperger Syndrome.

Prez O has just stated on the news that we have to get together and do something about this. I wonder what that something will be. Get ready for talks on national and intl gun control. It's coming folks.
I'll say I told you so, especially to the naysayers who in spite of politicians over the decades telling us we are having a NWO keep saying there is no NWO.
Yes there is and you will see.

Actually, even if it is not a MK ultra or whatever the F, it could still be used for an agenda. In fact - it surely will be.
