So everything should be legal?..How about rape? Criminals still violate that law, should it be legal since it's illegality doesn't stop every instance?

It's a question of where you draw the line to adults who can understand the problem. A question of balance.


Any dumbass can play your game.

Oh you want to allow assault rifles? Well why not TOW missle launchers and and Claymore mines?

Good patriots would need those weapons to fight tyranny!
No kidding, I can tolerate about every RWNJ gun defense except for this one.

Why can't the gun lubbers just admit that these mass killings are almost always committed by killers using guns BECAUSE A GUN(S) IS THEIR BEST OPTION to kill a bunch of people in a short period of time.

insisting that a gun, a rock, a knife, a tire iron, an empty wine bottle are all exactly the same is beyond stupid.

Example of "bringing a knife to a gun fight."

Dumb. Muhammad, most likely wouldve done it with an urge to simply kill Americans, commit an act of terror.

This guy Adam, had mental problems. Obviously, not to be defended, but comparing an anti-American to a guy with mental issues is just dumb.

Would you be defending his "right" to possess such a weapon?
I think they'd be screaming for different solutions but they would still want immediate response from government.

Crackdown on immigrants buying weapons, increased homeland security locally.
mental health wouldn't enter the picture.

Terrorism would be at the top of the list and the fear would be driving more security related legislation.

100 years ago, there were a lot of bombings in America attributed to 'anarchists', many, if not most of whom, were from the Italian immigrant community. Lanza surely would have been investigated as a terrorist before he was deemed a mere maniac.

Human nature doesn't change except in the details.

Why can't you gun haters realize that is is YOU that has made it impossible to "take" everybody's guns to begin with so your barking is all for naught. You wanted open borders and illegals roaming freely in this country and you got it. How do you propose we stop the influx of illegal weapons entering the country if you loons do get your dream of banning guns? HOW?? Use the war on drugs as the plan of action? LOL. You folks are so lost you don't even realize it is what is sad. Run off screaming about one thing then not even realizing that your screaming about something else makes what your screaming about now impossible.

So let me get this straight...A crazy muslim who kills 20 kids is different from a crazy white kid who kills 20 kids because why?

Adam Lanza is an American who committed mass murder with legally possed weapons...Please try another deflection.

Between the neoconservatives, the Tea Party and all the unhinged, mouth breathing rightwing nutjobs in this country, I'm surprised these incidents are not more frequent.
But they are, indeed, more frequent.

And that is why this issue is long past the point of a debate of philosophical differences. It is now an urgent need for immediate action to deal with a clear, present, and undeniable public safety nightmare.
