So what you're saying is, the lives of innocent people being killed in mass shootings is simply the price we have to pay for being able to protect our property. Yeah I'm sorry, but that's really kinda sick. I have property too but I don't feel the need to arm myself. Maybe if somebody close to you becomes a victim of one of these unhinged losers you'll give it some deeper thought.
No, it's the price we have to pay for having inalienable rights to self defense and freedom to live. The gun is not your problem, the shooter is your problem. You don't have to own any weapons, but you sure as heck don't have the right to take them away from others
Name one mass shooting that has occurred as the result of my protecting my property.
LOL complete deflection. BlakeJones said he wanted to be able to have a gun so he could protect his property. Once again, because he wants to be able to easily buy a gun, that means that everybody will be able to easily buy a gun. That "everybody" includes unhinged losers who want to use their easily-purchased guns to shoot up coworkers, kids at schools, people attending concerts, etc.
I know you understand this but are in denial about it because accepting that reality means you'll have to acknowledge we need to make it much more difficult to purchase a firearm.

And once again people like you are just repeating the spiel I addressed right here on page 1:

Yes, you are saying we have to accept these mass shootings. It's just a byproduct of our "liberty." Sad to think that the people who are killed in these events aren't around any longer to have the joy of having "liberty."

So, newsflash, sport. One of the great things about this country is our rights. How far you willing to go to in the way of violating rights to address a problem? We can solve many problems if everyone was locked in a small room from birth and not allowed to interact with anyone for the rest of their lives. Gun violence, solved! Worth it? Who decides? You? Think before you post, or at least propose a viable solution.
I've been patiently waiting for states to finally re-implement punishment. Why are so many people holding back on enacting this? I'm talking old fashion strict punishment. Like Hard Labor at Prison Farms and/or Capital Punishment in cases like this.
Maybe, just maybe, someone will think twice before going out and pulling that trigger.
Which also brings me back to what I've been saying in recent years:
Abortion. Abortion cheapens life. Life used to be precious. An Unborn Child is a developing Human Being and the Government has been giving the OK to kill them for the last 49 years. This sends a horrible message out there whether consciously or sub-consciously. Think about it, how much of this kind of killing today did you hear of before 1973? And as we all know, it is sure getting worse.
It is extremely difficult to identify said unhinged losers beforehand, and I've pointed exactly that out in other recent threads. That being the case, since it is so difficult to identify said losers ahead of time, the only way we're going to make a step in the right direction toward keeping at least some of these unhinged losers from killing large quantities of people is to make it difficult for them to be able to purchase the tool (a firearm) which enables them to easily kill large quantities of people in one sitting.
Exactly the kind of thing I would expect a gun nut to say.

If you don't like guns in the US then find another country to live in that outlaws guns for everyone.
Last I heard, he is in the hospital, whether that was an accurate report or not.
Not the gunman, but the actual gun. That is what a lot of people on these forums care about nore. Guns.
