All these posts serve to demonstrate is how many kooks and crazies are out there. Which would make more people want to own guns for peace of mind, I would think.

I'm just wondering if the OP started a thread and expressed outrage every single time somebody was shot in Chicago last year? Many of them innocent children. That would mean over 500 new threads.

Oh and do you feel that all the changing of gun laws in the word, are going to stop criminals from getting their hands on guns.

Anyone who says yes is delusional.

Look the persons who killed 2 of my family members, different cases different places, but two dead realitives.

One stated, after he killed my cousin and in prision. He would kill with bare hands if necessary, as he said, when someone has it in them to kill, they will kill you. Something about a gosh damn rush. Some people not easy to say, get a rush when they kill you, and you take your last breath.

He also stated, how easy it is for them to get weapons. So please enlighten me, on how anything will change for the better.

If anything since all this talk about guns, people have seen to go more nuts, have you noticed.

What the hell is up with judges, who release certain criminals out of jail, way before their time.

I too am tired of the killings of the innocent. But think we are going about this the wrong way. There is also a mental aspect of this too. Too many guns in the hands of those who seek medical attnetion, but not receiving it.

maybe we should start giving judges mental examinations before they become judges and retest them each and every year.

Is this going to be the new norm around here? Every time there is a gun death (excluding the daily occurrences in Chicago) we're going to get a new thread from the anti-gun folks in the peanut gallery?

They very well may be paid posters paid to disseminate propaganda that is useful for the governments aims.

And the 2nd amendment says the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed. That's why until you amend the constitution, you cannot have strict gun control. Facts are facts, and no amount of news articles change that.

"Strict gun control" means, of course, 100% confiscation of all privately-owned firearms. Nothing less will work.

Criminals will always be able to get them, by stealing them, unless they are all GONE.

I wonder how many articles I can find showing how one drunk driver made a safe street into a dangerous street and ruined the neighborhoods peace of mind. Do you think we should ban cars?
