CT Shooting - Massive Shooting at School - 27 killed, 20 children

[SF1900]

Although I have no stake in the gun debate, I wonder what the fervent reason is for wanting their guns. It seems less to be about the constitution and more about projecting a certain image. It seems as though most Americans could careless about their country, only when it affects their image. Just sayin'

What if I told you Guns are a piece of art?

Did "grandpa" tell you that?

a gun is a tool.  just like any other.  you keep it should you be the target of a random attack.  As the economy gets worse, there are times when bad guys will randomly choose to pick on a random target.  a gun will help even the odds a bit, give you a better chance.

Fuck the fuck off, obnoxiously pretentious fuck.

Lol

Deep Deep Insecurity held together by paranoia, intense anxiety and fear with a healthy dose of obsession and defiance thrown in.  In other words, they're a massive pussy unless they have a gun! without it, they may die of fright if they caught sight of their own shadow.

Lol @ dumbfucks still thinking a ban or more laws will stop criminals.

Laws don't stop criminals, that's why their called criminals.  What they want to prevent, is young kids, who aren't part of the mafia or an organised crime syndicate and have NO criminal record having easy access to high powered weapons when they snap at their shitty treatment by society.  The people who commit these mass shootings are NOT criminals.  Prior to the shooting they are considered ordinary citizens, dare I say it, just like you.   Even serious criminals have a code, and would strongly condemn shooting up a school full of young kids.

Perhaps you also don't understand why someone would need a car that goes faster than 65? Or why do people need alcohol? Cigarettes?

Compare the death stats and ask yourself where the real danger is.

I understand perfectly that we don't need cars that greatly exceed all speed limits. Keep in mind that in some places the speed limit is actually higher than 65 mph. Citing and fining people who exceed the speed limit is one way of reducing the number of violators.

The danger to others from cigarettes and alcohol is not comparable to that of automatic weapons. However, as has already happened, the punishment for driving while intoxicated has greatly increased in the past couple of decades. Likewise, because of new regulations regarding where someone can smoke have become much more strict, people suffering from secondhand smoke is reduced.

If people want to drink and smoke themselves to death, so be it. Medical insurance premiums are already more expensive for smokers, perhaps drinkers should be added too. I see no reason I should pay higher premiums to compensate for other folks high risk factors, particularly when they are a result of their personal choice.

Cigarettes never murdered a 5 year old.

Plus cigarettes don't kill people

Some guy just got life in prison for driving multiple times under the influence.

Not to be argumentative, but you are wrong about cigarettes not killing people. My stepfather died at 64 years of age from lung cancer caused in part by second hand smoke, which he got from my mother's chain smoking habit. My mother died at 61 from emphysema cause by smoking an endless quantity of cigarettes, every day, starting around age 16. When I as a comparatively young man I had a cancerous growth removed from my bladder, commonly found in smokers, yet I don't smoke.

Breathe little girl, relax, breathe,  that jealousy is eating you alive.

[Heywood]

Guns have multiple uses but I wont skirt around the issue , I have an AR15 to kill some one intent on hurting me or my family. I have NO shame in wanting to protect myself or my family.

Don't like guns? Don't get one but please don't try and tell me I can't.

My recommendation is to stock up with whatever you need right now, because you and your family are not the only people on the planet.  

These semiautos are used to kill, uh excuse me, mow down, innocent people by insane crazies.

Perhaps the dead mom should have considered one of these. Idiot dead mom.

When O-Kenya was picked I got everything i wanted and needed in 2007-2008.   Whoever waited till now are fucking idiots

I'd say people are standing behind the Constitution because this current administration would think nothing of shitting on it.

Do I need a personal bazooka launcher.....no? Do I need Michael Bloomberg, Nancy Pelosi, or Harry Fucking Reid telling me how and when I can protect myself and my family.....not in this lifetime.

I'm not sure if you picked up on it, I was using sarcasm, it was parody of the nonsense cliche Gun Nutters often use that "Guns don't kill people", this ridiculousness can be carried over to anything that kills people.  Like This, Alcohol doesn't kill people, cigarettes don't kill people, guns don't kill people, drugs don't kill people, bombs don't kill people and on and on the ridiculousness goes.  It's called DENIAL!  Of course these things pose a serious health risk to others, their will always be exceptions, but if you have a vested interest in something, it is easiest to deny anything that threatens that interest.  Of course Guns kill people! Of Course cigarettes kill people, of course alcohol kills people!

Yes, good chance she acted far more heroically than every one of the teachers.

Doesn't change the fact that 20 babies are dead.

But in the words of Rahm Emanuel and Barack Obama, "never let a good crisis go to waste".

Or she could have simply not lived in fear, and not owned Guns in the first place! But that would take a healthy dose of common sense and reasonableness, not something the average gun loving American is renowned for!

The stupidity of your position is that you would have no problem making someone a victim of violent crime just to make you feel like your conscience is clean.

That and the fact that as an American I am superior to you in every way.

Aussie opinion = about as relevant as what Perez Hilton thinks.
