Any more cool analogies, brain genius?


Where in the Bill of Rights does it guarantee your right to drive a car?

Any more irrelevant analogies?

Yes that is true. Also, violent crime, in general has been trending down for thirty years according to FBI statistics, even with Black on Black inner city violence. The media sensationalizing violence, especially when a gun is used is responsible for this perception as they have an anti legal gun agenda, and just want to promote the law abiding from legally owning guns.

Yup. The media should ignore the fact that people kill other people, mostly with DIY tools.

What the F**k has that got to do with it! Take your head out of the sand for gods sake! People are DYING in numbers 'over there' because of stupid 'gun laws', the world can only look on in complete disbelief at the sheer stupidity of it.

Thousands of laws on the books already. How many more before we realize some people just don't follow law.

I can go buy a used car today without license or insurance and drive it around without registration etc.

Now sure, I get in trouble if I'm caught but hey, that's why in parts of the US you just see people jump and run after a crash or if a cop tries to pull them over.

Parts of the US have 20% or more drivers uninsured.

Kinda like saying no one would shoot someone with a gun because that would be illegal and we have laws that don't allow that.

This is actually how most of the gun violence in the US goes down. Illegal guns, drugs, gangs....

They hand out DLs in CA to illegals. These people aren't even vetted, they just go off who these people say they are. But ya, the car laws are about as effective as the gun laws.

LOL, indeed. And wrong. Your Un-, Under-insured coverage is for YOU if the person who causes you damage doesn't carry their own or is under-insured. Cars & guns are not comparable. Try again.






At any rate, this particular case doesn't appear to have ANYTHING to do with a gun-free zone. It was a domestic situation, and the shooter went to where one of the victims was. It wasn't a calculated target because it was a gun-free zone.
