Doesn't matter. Fact is both can kill and can be abused. All your doing is trying to make the gun the villain here, when in fact it was the dunce that handled it. That's the issue. Its a shame you anti-gun folks have no more sense than this clown did. What's next? Blaming the Movie for selling tickets?


Did it ever occur to you to blame the clown that had the gun? Duh....

I've long said that it's not guns I'm afraid of; it's the nutjob gun owners who happen to be the most vocal and most eager to demand guns everywhere, all the time.

What I am more afraid of is the "Nutjob" anti-gun folks who think that taking guns away will cure all crazies and reform all criminals. The old mentality that thinks Drunk Drivers will be cured by BANNING Cars


Or worse yet, your idea that a gun makes a person crazy

The thread title is misleading, according to the article one woman was accidentally shot.

Nice logic there, but total BS. Any Nutjob can buy a car as long as he has the money. He doesn't get a background check, he can be a Criminal, he can be a mental Patient, and can take it home the same day. So your way, way, off on that one.


You get a license to take the car out on the street, in public, not to buy a car/ Same as you get a "Permit" to carry the gun out in the street in public. WE already have those Laws.


If your going to argue a point, at least think about what your saying.

Maybe we should ban Theatres from selling tickets. If they had not sold tickets to the guy with the gun, or the lady who got shot, none of this would have happened at all.

There are dentists who are ripping out full rows of teeth of Medicaid recipients today. Crowning the others.

I love the anti-gun crowd. You guys always make sense to me, NOT!!!!!!
