If everyone carried guns, there would be no problem, right? Good thing the conservatives stocked up on guns and ammunition before the presidential election!

actually, if you take away guns from sane people, it would be worse.. - THINK about it...or try..nm

guns don't kill people, people kill people. If there were no guns, people would just find another way to accomplish what thier P brains can think up. Just a sign of the times...uprisings, mothers against daughters, sons against fathers...etc as prophesied... think about it.
You are so right on (sm) - just me

"If there were no guns, people would just find another way to accomplish what their P brains can think up".

That is so true. I always knew guns don't kill people, people do, but your statement really hit it on target and I will remember that.

Thanks

>>>uprisings, mothers against daughters, sons against fathers...etc as prophesied...

all the anti-abortionists who gunned down people, in the name of religion. And let's not forget 9/11 (in the name of religion). Lots of wars throughout history, all in the name of religion. The Salem Witchcraft trials and hangings were rooted in religion.

And it's best if I stop at this point.


absolutely right - ...... sm

makes sense that anyone wanting to use a gun will find a way to get the gun. We have a constitutional right to have guns and that was in case our government got "out of hand"...hmmmmm. Our founding fathers were very astute on the reasons for that.....look what they were fleeing from!!

Just because a nut job gets a gun and decides to kill people isn't a reason to do away with firearms from civilized people. Countries overseas have done that and their crime rate went UP!! Why? Because they know the people have NO protection from anyone!

guns - shoot

What the heck?

More guns, more shootings, more dead.

No way!

So, the smart thing would be to completely take away guns from ALL people (sm) - Just sayin ...

Except for law enforcement and military and all of the problems will go away .. right? That's very narrow-minded thinking. There is already a huge black market for guns in the United States and the business for it would boom if this were to happen and then you take guns away from innocent homeowners, business owners, etc., who abide by the law completely defenseless. Makes a lot of sense to me. The UK is a prime example of this.

As another poster stated, guns don't kill people, it is people who kill people.

Washington, D.C. is a PRIME example of that....homicide - rate skyrocketed!!! nm

1. Shootings occur in areas where people don't carry guns.

2. The responsible people who legally carry guns are not the ones who do the shooting. They go to safety classes, etc.

3. You will never be able to stop the criminals from acquiring guns. If they can't get them here they will get them in the bordering countries and illegally bring them here. And the criminals who commit these crimes...they don't get their weapons legally (or most of them don't).

4. If all responsible citizens were allowed to carry guns and had proper training there would be a lot less shootings because the citizens would know what to do in a situation like this.

5. "Good thing the conservatives stocked up on guns and ammunition before the president election".

a. What does the election have to do with this incident. You're trying to start trouble.
b. Not all conservatives have guns and ammunition - I don't, and all my conservative friends and family don't.
c. There are liberals in this country who own guns and ammunition.

6. You might want to know what you are talking about before posting a hate message towards a group of people not in your party.

You think only conservatives have guns? WOW! - In the dark for sure you are.... nm

I noticed that he/she said in the post that "all" conservatives went out and stock piled ammunition and bought all these gun "before the presidential election". I guess he/she still believes the utter crap garbage that was spewed on the liberal TV stations about how all conservative did this right before the election to do something to the current leader.

At least now I know that he/she is as they say "one fry short of a happy meal".

I must agree with this comment. Liberal nongun - owner.

and the stories that don't. You do not read about the family SAVED by a teenager firing a weapon and wounding an intruder, do you? Google for once, it happens. It just is NOT reported in our major media.

The first thing an MT learns is how to RESEARCH. Do it for yourself before you come in here spouting "facts" not documented.

Guns are on the same level as alcohol with respect to innocent people getting killed. It not the gun or alcohol that is at fault. It's the person in possession of it.

You're never going to stop access to guns if a criminal wants to get their hands on them. It's one of the sadder facts of life.
