Shootings! Shootings! Shootings! Today's and tomorrow's shootings! — Page 3

Where's that dotkade person who was so tired of all the hoops gun owners had to jump through to exercise their god given rights to murder people?

He's a he? I had a vision of a gal from the Faces of Meth website and a Hello Kitty revolver.

The unfortunate Kids on the ends are the most at risk. You think a shooter will not just shoot from the side when confronted with this? Let us not work on gun control but find a new way to make a buck off of the paranoia people are feeling.

Hey you gun people - you say you need guns for your own protection. Hmm, how often do we hear about anyone who successfully used their gun for their own protection? I can't think of any. How often do we hear about gun violence and killing? EVERY DAY.

You are more likely to get killed by a right-wing terrorist than a Muslim.

I think what's happening is that sentient and realistic people who know this country's gun habit is out of control have collectively grown depressed. Because we now realize that we can't even have discussions about any meaningful changes without the guns coming out, literally. It is clear that the country is being bullied into doing nothing by people who will shoot anybody who thinks they shouldn't have their guns.

I'm also thinking the membrane between "responsible gun owner" and "deranged person with a pointed gun" is a thin one. In EVERY circumstance.

Namo, that is exacty what I feel, even my Teaxan half brother and his 19 year old daughter have bullied me over my "New York Liberal" view on gun regulation. Keeps reminding me why I disowned them.

Some of these depressing stories are even more depressing than the other depressing stories.

I usually avoid these kinds of topics but my views tend to be more down the middle then leaning to the left or the right.

I do think citizens should be allowed to purchase guns but I also think detailed background checks should be done if someone wants to purchase a gun.

Now the problem is how do we stop all the bad guys with guns? The majority of gangs that carry guns already have unregistered illegal guns. How do we stop that? They don't care whether or not guns are legal. They are still going to get their hands on them.

The majority of deaths caused by guns are gang related. Stopping gangs is what we should be focused on.

The other problem is even with detailed background checks. Someone can still be crazy but have no previous problems with the law so they would still be able to purchase a gun. I'm not sure how to prevent that other then banning guns all together.

I find Switzerlands situation to be very interesting. They have one of the highest gun ownerships in the world due to making males spend mandatory time in the military and then they can choose to keep their guns after but they need a license. The interesting part is that despite being one of the highest gun ownerships in the world they still have one of the lowest amount of gun crimes in the world.

"I do think citizens should be allowed to purchase guns"

Why? What for?
