Yes. Humans have typically been fighting each other for thousands of years. Its why Japan is nice and orderly until they thought the Koreans were doing something bad. That resulted in themassacre of 1923 where 6000 Chinese and Koreans were killed. Multiculturalism kills. Now one may of course argue that freedom does have a price....Now given the population of Norway have we had 77 people slaughtered some 60 times over? [SIZE=4][/SIZE]

Haha, you think you should be able to own weapons that can turn any idiot who's having a bad day into a one man army capable of executing dozens of people in a few minutes and we're the ones who want "control over people." Riiiight.

Well, except for that Tea Party group that is auctioning off an AR 15 semi-automatic rifle to raise money. It will cost you $20 to win a chance for that baby.

Talk about crass.

we have a major urban gang problem in the United States compared to other industrialized countries. I'll get flamed for saying this but take a look at the statistics in which Asian or white people shoot each other in the United states and Now the Numbers don't really look so crazy compared to the rest of the industrialized world considering we're a heavily armed nation. Blacks in the united states make up less than 13% of the population but commit over 50% of all shootings and over 90% of those shootings are Black on Black crime. It blows my mind how every time we have some nut job shoot a bunch of people, the media goes nuts with talk of gun control yet there are senseless shootings every day in the black community and we never hear about it. If we're are going to stop shootings in this country we need to stop all shootings, not just the ones that involve rich white kids.

And that has to do with the tragedy how? Even if it's true, it's not exploiting a tragedy, is it?

And since I think you're lying about this, please show proof.

Right, so we agree that it's a problem across the board that should have been dealt with long ago. All the more reason to take action now.

20 little kids get massacred and you it "blows your mind" that the media talks about alternatives to our current gun laws?

No, it blows my mind that it's only made an issue when rich white people get massacred.

Wow. What a completely useless, callous, idiotic post.

Only a gun fondler could keep a straight face while labeling concern, fear and empathy for victims as "exploiting."
