Those of you who continue to blame the method of carrying out the massacres will continue to miss the mark by a wide margin and the problem will continue to grow. It's easy for anyone to kill if they really want to--they don't need a g*n. They can pour a vial of chemical into your drinking water supply reservoir. They can doctor your loaves of bread in the grocery store. They can turn their car into a Molotov cocktail. Until you deal with the defective mind behind the means, there is no point in even discussing the problem.

But. They. Don't.

Why is that, and why do you people refuse to answer that question?

Yours, too. Still refusing to answer a simple question.

Because you don't really care.

It's not about making Mr. Sovereign Citizen in Georgia not ABLE to attack the courthouse, it's about making Mr. Sovereign Citizen not WANT to attack the courthouse.

Seems so obvious, yet so many people don't get that.

Very well put.

Ah, I see. So you really believe you can wipe out craziness?

Interesting. You must be pretty powerful.

Crazy people are born every day without benefit of drug-taking mothers. People decide to become "sovereign citizens" or other extremists every day without benefit of drugs. Seems pretty obvious, but then again, gun lovers aren't really interested in solving the problem, only in diverting attention from their arsenals.

Please share your plan for eliminating crazies and extremists, so we can all get on with the business of playing with guns. Thanks.

Because it's easier to pull a trigger. When it's not, they will buy a sabre. When that is unavailable, they will smash your head in with a rock or spend two years pumping iron in the gym so they can kill you with their bare hands. The means are not important. The motivation is.

There are a lot of anti-social, even dangerous things that Little Johnny could engage in. Please answer the question: Why does he choose GUNS?

That's even more important than what causes Little Johnny to be a drugged out loser. Unless, of course, you're incapable of understanding actual, real-world problem-solving, or you're more interested in protecting the gun culture than in coming up with answers.
Holy Crap ! I am glad you are an anti firearm person.

It is, but the people that don't see it are too clouded by fear and emotion. Sad really because maybe they could actually help these things not happen again in the future. All they are is dividing a populace.

People must die to protect your guns! But hey, the Holy Constitution is feeling just fine, thanks.

Such candor is refreshing, I admit.

Ahhh yes, silly me! That pesky ole Constitution and it's outdated Amendment! What an outdated rag that only gets in the way of the progressive playbook. Unlike you, I support that timeless document which keeps your government in check from overreach, and restricting the rights of its citizens. You treat government as your "god" and feel that it should control all aspects of everyones lives! I'll bet that if you had been around during the early days of this country you would have been a "loyalist" to the King.

You can avoid the root of the problem all you like. And it will never be resolved. Keep lancing that carbuncle when you have stage four cancer.
