When was the last time a mass murderer used a car to purposely run down 30 innocent victims?

Who's the fool who said anything about banning video games?

Oh, never mind. It was YOU.

Clue: If parents parented, kids wouldn't be spending their lives playing that crap.

Please don't. Your mantra is exceptionally boring. And dumb.

Dumb and boring. Yep.

Clue: Weapons are designed to protect and defend.

Yeah from people who can easily get guns because of the lenient laws in the first place. Learned nothing from the Cold War, I see.

All of these people would be still alive if we banned car ................
The day that banning firearms will bring the Country to a standstill will be the day that we can equate the gun to cars, or airoplanes, or trains etc etc etc BUT guns are NOT needed by the public on the street in any law abiding society................ i have never seen or heard such undiluted rubbish as is being dished out here by the head of the NRA and the "gun nuts".
In Countries with tough gun laws...NO schools etc have armed guards.

Are you suggesting that death and injury caused by an impaired driver is an accident ? From a statistical standpoint: What would you propose your odds of being killed by a firearm, verses a vehicle crash involving a drunk/impaired driver verses a legally owned firearm..........check the numbers and get back to me !
