Police identify dead suspect in fatal shooting of two Topeka officers - KansasCity.com

More guns = more death. Time for political action and some REAL solutions this time from the pro-gun crowd.

Cars cause a lot of deaths also. Do you want to ban cars?

The reality is that people using guns kill people and people being careless when they drive cause accidents. Blaming an object for a human behavior solves nothing.

It does in the rest of the developed world. Look at some statistics. We have 4x the homicide rate of the rest of the OECD.

I am tired of this flawed logic argument.

How many people have been "murdered" intentionally by cars in the past year?

You have to consider the risk vs. benefit on these things. The gun control laws in this country allow guns to do more harm than good.

The statistics I saw months ago actually show the opposite. The more gun control the more guns are used to kill.

So the facist liberals and their media bull horn just wont let up on trying to disarm the populace. I dont own a gun and I have two children in grade school and I would feel really uncomfortable if our right to bear arms were infringed on any further than they are.

Are cars and driving highly regulated?

Show me one gun that killed anyone without a human operating it. It is not a gun problem; it is an evil human problem. Doing away with every gun in the world would not make evil killing go away.

If the cops would have been armed this would have never have happened.


Oh, wait. They were armed?
