small minds cannot think past today....it is all about quick fixes...the gun control advocates have been hamming this for years...however, they are stupid, b/c if gun control is passed what will happen is, they will create a lucrative business for the underground....

god, doesn't anyone remember or know what prohibition did...the crooks and criminals were celebrating when prohibition happened....now they stood to make millions....

gun control will never control killings....what it will do, is take guns away from law abiding citizens, but the crooks and murders, will always find a way to get guns/high powered rifles...etc....

I cannot believe there are so many people that do not get it....we surely are a nation of quick fixes, not thinking about the long term effects, nor without any inclining at all about history repeating itself????? instant gratification and my agenda is much more important then the outcome, what ever it may be...I win....geeze louise....Americans are really really stupid.

You said we don't believe in fighting terrorists,this thread has to do with killing children so forgive me for thinking you were saying children were terrorists...maybe you should stick to the subject at hand and we won't have that problem.

Right wing logic: Drones kill to many people so we should send in armies that kill hundreds of thousands.

Comparing what Adam Lanza did and the accidents of drone strikes against terror targets is probably the dumbest comparison I've heard in a long time, maybe ever. How's that for sticking to the subject?

I think your average abortionist has killed more children than any mad gunman.

Well, when people do not seem to understand the very elementary concept that criminals don't obey the law ... I'm not sure they are equipped to tackle anything that requires thinking.

LOL, you got it....no one seems to be able to look at long term effects any longer...not our senate, not our congress, not even our president...all the Obamas like to do is party with Hollywood and be on TV....

Accidents eh? It wasn't an accident when they murdered a 16 year old us citizen in Yemen,Its not an accident when you don't know for sure there are no civilians to be slaughtered.Stop bombing sovereign countries we have not declared war on.
