This guy had a history of violence. I think your statement is incorrect. Be it killing small animals for the sake of killing them or numerous encounters with the police over things like domestic issues, I think you will find most do have these qualities.
Someone has to look into it. Most states have slashed funds to do that. Where do you think state funds come from, thin air. That and most state legislatures think raising taxes are immoral whether out is for schools or improving jails.
How many more adjustments to your normal freedom of movement are you prepared to make so firearms can prevail? Weren't they supposed to protect you from giving up your right to liberty and pursuit of happiness? Liberty doesn't include your ability to go to a movie without passing through security checkpoints? Pursuit of happiness doesn't include your freedom to enjoy a movie or other activity without having to consider getting shot by some nut?
Will you be prepared to absorb the loss of jobs created when people stop going to their favourite venues because they have to empty their pockets, take off their shoes, and walk through a metal detector to get wanded by some 9th grade drop-out on a summer job, just to watch a movie, shop at the mall, bowl a few frames or attend an evening mass. How stupid is this all going to get before you wake up and smell the gunpowder?
Are you folks that seriously disconnected to the reality of freedoms you're losing with this chit while stridently maintaining ONE freedom that was supposed to guarantee all those you're giving up faster than a Porche on nitrous?
I don't get it and neither does anyone else with a grain of common sense.
You and I disagree on many other issues, but this post is one of the best I have ever seen here. Bravo!
The madness of "gun rights" advocacy in 2015 defies all attempts at rational explanation.
But they are for the most part on disinhibition- and akathisia-inducing SSRI psych meds. Which never existed on the drug market before 1988.
The United Kingdom is getting hit worse by violence because they've knowingly banned effective means of self-defense:
_"The most violent country in Europe: Britain is also worse than South Africa and U.S."_
"Britain's violent crime record is worse than any other country in the European union, it has been revealed.
"Official crime figures show the UK also has a worse rate for all types of violence than the U.S. and even South Africa - widely considered one of the world's most dangerous countries."
The British Home Office, by contrast, has a substantially different definition of violent crime. The British definition includes all “crimes against the person,†including simple assaults, all robberies, and all “sexual offenses,†as opposed to the FBI, which only counts aggravated assaults and “forcible rapes.â€
When you look at how this changes the meaning of “violent crime,†it becomes clear how misleading it is to compare rates of violent crime in the US and the UK
You just shoot the person at the metal detector. If someone is absolutely intent on harming people there is nothing you can do. How would have metal detectors stopped Timothy McVeigh?
Lol. I thought that EVERYONE deserves the right to bear arms- 2nd Amendment and all.
