Tell you what. When we reach the point where there is a mass stabbing on average every two weeks the way there is a mass shooting every two weeks in this country, I will give your complaint the credence it deserves.
So your only concern is not really the weapon of choice, but the number of deaths?
The kid was getting mental health treatment. At what stage in his life do you think he should have been locked up? What percentage of the mentally ill should be locked up?
One of the reasons for the second amendment is so the government cannot just go around locking up those who have never committed a crime.
Am I missing something? Did Rodgers kill people with knives?

You know, I pretty much support gun rights with the necessity of better background checks and reasonable limitations. However, after reading many of the comments from the pro gun side as well as the DISGUSTING conspiracy theories about Sandy Hook, it seems there is a disturbingly large portion of the population who are more attached to their guns than they are to common sense or human empathy.
Absolutly right. Which is why it's not possible to have a reasoned conversation with most gun nuts. They simply don't see a problem with there being a mass shooting on average once every two weeks. It's all good to them. They are only interested in making sure we are not allowed to discuss possible ways of ending the massacre. And if you lose someone to gun violence, you are a whiner and need to shut the **** up about it.

Ill tell ya what, when the left starts worrying about things that kills far more people guns...(thats the fake outrage) then we can talk....there are things that kill more on a yearly basis than all guns combined...
[quote=HeyJude514;34989368]Well, as Joe the Plumber basically said, tough ****, your dead kid doesn't trump my gun rights. Which is pretty much the attitude we're seeing here on C-D. Now i
This impulse to blame the victims (as Joe the Plumber did) is the hallmark of an abuser. I'll bet Joe-the-loser-plumber's wife (if he has one) has a story not too jolly.
If I have any concern it's for the dead and their families. The rest of this stuff is the whiny bleating of overly emotional finger waivers acting in the direction their overlords tell them too.

I have been trying to discuss ways. No one wants to join in. They just want to press their partisan politics.
