We've already covered this..You need to keep up. There is no comparing knives and guns..Again, if guns aren't the problem, why must you have one?

For my own protection... apparently you have a problem with me staying protected... as for the food and guns... which is more dangerous? A million restaurants putting lard into your arteries and being legal or a controlled system of dispersing guns to hobbyists and individuals who want secure protection... do I feel safer knowing criminals don't have access to guns? nope... do I feel safer if they don't and I do? yup... instead of cracking down on criminals getting access to guns, you rather just take my gun used for my protection.... and here I thought the problem was the expanding pant size in America being the number one killer and all... you know heart attacks.. and if you think that is the only thing cholesterol does, perhaps you should learn to peruse the google website... or find a new belief system to try to enforce on other people... I hear cigarettes kill more people...

Your second paragraph speaks volumes about the previous administration and the history of America.
Yes you are right something has changed.Some people have become hateful of life both theirs and others and feel the need not to only take themselves out but take out as many people with them as they can.Guns use to be even more available yet this hardly ever happened so yes while something has changed,until we find the real cause if this is the world we live in then people even more than before have to protect themselves.


As far as your second remark to my remark of history showing government possibly becoming a murderous government,it not only speaks volumes of American history but the human condition that absolute power corrupts absolutely,and their is no absolute power like one side being armed and the other not which is why people should overwhemingly support the 2nd amendment instead of calling people paranoid.

No, the use of guns in murders isn't new. Maybe it's time we fixed it.
One could argue that the gun would have simply been a piece of metal if she hadn't believed she was the antichrist. It was that belief that made the the gun deadly in her hands. If the child had picked it up rather than her, nobody would have died by use of that gun.

If it is so great for eveybody to be armed, why are so many against Korea and Iran having nukes?

Yes, I do feel America's expanding pant size makes them unsafe... from a whole host of health problems to death... or does it make you feel better because they have a choice in it... you can choose to own a gun and protect yourself or not... isn't the government forcing you to own guns? Keep it up? You think cholesterol and America's weight problem is a joke? Keep it up, you are disgusting the rest of us...

I don't get your point..If the gun wasn't in the equation, neither would a death. Sometimes given the opportunity, irrational people act on impulses. That gave enable her to act.
