Gun owners - are you happy having the death of the school kids on your hands?

You're asking the wrong question...

It's imperative, that a country with a "government" as powerful, corrupt, criminal, and sold out to wealthy interests, has an armed to the teeth populace.

It is absolute madness to take power away from a relatively non-violent class of people, and put it in the hands of warlords (political class), whose entire way of life is dependent on stealing, enslaving, and directing violence at the non-violent.

Btw, how does it feel to have the blood of those killed by knives on your hands ? That's it, dammit ! We should ban all knives and semi-automatic knives !

You should google search how gun control is working for Australia. Or take a looksy at Chicago.

#3) What is the solution to stopping mass shootings?

The former police captain explained that the real problem with shootings in his city was, "dirt-cheap handguns" also called "Saturday Night Specials." As he explained, "People that spend $500 on a nice handgun are almost never the problem when it comes to violent crime. It's the ones who pick up a junk gun for $50 on the street."

No, I have my personal liberty to be a free individual, capable of defending myself, against all forms of oppression, from anyone or any thing.

More kids are killed each year by doctor malpractice, than kids killed by guns(actually more than all people killed by guns in the USA)

More kids are killed in automotive crashes, than kids killed by guns in the USA (actually more than all people killed by guns in the USA)


I would wonder why my child was not permitted to defend him/her self against such an attack on his/her personal liberty, as the Constitution clearly states.

There use to be a reason, turn and fire at 10 paces was legal and practiced often.
Even a quick draw gun fight at high noon was legal.

Both parties were equally armed.

By your logic since 19 men armed with nothing more than box cutters killed nearly 3000 people anyone that owns a box cutter is a murderer?

The caveman didn't invent the first knives to cut twine. The first cutting tools were killing tools. Hunting tools. As man progressed into the Bronze and Iron Age he crafted spears and knives and swords. They were all hunting and killing tools.

At the same time he also crafted scraping tools. Scraping tools were used in conjunction with killing tools. After thousands of years he was finally ready for the steak knife.

You liberals slay me (knife pun intended). You call conservatives "crazy loons" who believe in comic book fairies in the sky and think the world is only 3000 years old while at the same time you ignore the evolutionary biology of the species.

Knives were designed with one purpose in mind - to kill. Guess we better ban them, also.

Did you vote for Obama? Bush?

Then so do you.

Are you happy now? Million of foreign children killed at the hands of those 2. Several Afghani children murdered in their sleep by one of the Commander in Chief's troops


Thousands of innocent killed by Drones

Now tell me, how do you sleep at night?

Your response is:

1. Ignorant
2. Emotional
3. Irrational
4. Misplaced

ANYONE who supports the sale of these military-style assault weapons and high-capacity magazines to civilians has the blood of those first-graders on their hands, in my view...
