Whats your real resaon for this thread? Someone who really cared about kids would not wait till such tradgey happened to start threads like this....as you have
You are acting like Eric Cantor after the vote failed last night. Scard and nervous. Just answer the question. Its simple its just a simple ethical question. Would you push one fat person who was about to die in three weeks over a bridge if when he hit it stopped a run away bus and saved 20 kids?

So would you give up your semi autos if it saved one kids life?

A bit quick on the trigger aren't you?
How do you know I'm not Black or Hispanic? Why'd you have to bring race into it?

Cars kill more kids than guns, so does alcohol, and cigarettes.
Will you stop driving, alcohol, and cigarettes?

BTW, I don't own a semi-auto, smoke, drink, or drive, so I am
way ahead of you.

This has nothingto do with race, giving up semi-auto weapons will not make any difference because criminals, of any race, will still be able to get them. Part of the problem is the back market. Dangerous narcotics are illegal to obtain yet drug dealers are making fortunes on the black market, now what does that tell you?

Who said, never let a tradgey go to waste? Sums up this thread also....
I think the "no guns ever" people are one faction, but tragedies like this tend to move the issue to the front burner with the rest of the country, and that creates the political will to get something done--it's not opportunistic. It's ridiculous to talk about taking away someone's shotgun or hunting rifle, but as for the rest--I'd like to know why some people think a high capacity mag is necessary.

I think your doing that by yourselfs by not answering the question.
How's this: I would use my semi to shoot the mutha-effer who was making me make that choice.

BS....how many children died in Chicago this year because of gun fire?

Where was the fire then? Where was all these people screaming then....oh, that's right....they did not care then....

Sorry, but this fake rage gets pretty ignorant at times....just look at all the threads here on C-D....
