4 don't measure up to 26 dead., and all 50 states not just Connecticut.eace
Are you telling me there is no possible way for guns to have a strickter gun control on the sales of guns?
What of the freedom of the 26 dead in Conn?
Did they not have the freedom to live.eace
Additionally, he's assuming that this person going hunting with an AK47 is going to magdump into the hunted animal.
Which would be stupid and probably fail.
If known drug dealers move into a house next to a school why would it be anybody's business.
If known child molestors got a job a coaching PHYS ED and counciling at your kids school would it become your business?
Is society to just keep turning a blind eye, because sooner or later this stuff that society keeps turning a blind eye to will land on every American's door again and again including your's, my friend.eace
Ah, not the old "FREEDOM AIN'T FREE SPEECH" MAN THAT'S ANCIENT.
I can not speak for others who ask for stronger gun control but I ALREADY KNOW THAT FREEDOM AIN'T FREE.
ANY VETERAN OR THOSE IN MILITARY SERVICE CAN TELL YOU THAT.
The sacrifices for freedom have been many and dear to any REAL AMERICAN.
However asking for a tougher gun control in society is too big a sacrifice for some?
What that has to do with killing innocent people cause it's easier to buy a gun I have no idea.
What that has to do with the killings at Aurora, Columbine, Virginia Tech, or the 20 6 yr olds in Conn., that I do not know?
What saying "FREEDOM ISN'T FREE;" has to do with asking for stronger and stiffer gun control, that I do not know?
6 year old children have nothing to do with the defence of Freedom.eace

The difference? Both could have children of their own one day if you don't kill them.
It's disgusting that you've convinced yourself that there's a difference.
Heard from the NRA lately?
No and you won't for awhile college students is one thing, movie goers is another even teenagers maybe , but 6 year olds , this ain't gonna slide that easy there's a lot of angry people out here and they ain't gun owners,
What am I a secretary, anyway youv;e questioned every statement I've made I've answered.
Already been suggested and rejected by you stiffer gun control stronger background checks.eace
Because mentally ill people usually don't have a high credit score.
Exactly my point, thank you.
Question do you believe that every person that bought a gun leagally would pass a security clearence, think hard now.
The Virginia Tech murderer had an arrest record yet he bought 2 glocks from a pawn shop.
If a person buys a gun who should be responsible for where that gun winds up?eace
Then why are these weapons available to the public???eace
In short, because 2nd Amendment.Then why are these weapons available to the public???eace
I'm guessing that most of those folks released from mental institutions back in the 1980s either died of exposure, violence, suicide or ended up in the prison system by now. Oh wait, what about todays mentally ill? Where do you think they are?So its folks let out of Instutions who are committing these crimes ....... oh wait !
Can you show us any of these folks who would have been institutionalized in the days of such as .... President Carter ?
I don't know about yours, but my family is doing just fine.Actually, its the decay of the family.
Oh, you noticed.We've had guns since our founding. Fast-loading ones for over a century. But the mass-killings by bullets are pretty much in the last twenty years.
Personally, I don't think it's the decay of the family per se. I think some people are just genetically predisposed to have mental problems. For instance, Adam Lanza suffered from asperger syndrome aka autistism.Has conservatism been the driver behind the decay of the family ?
I have no idea what your talking about here.Further, and frankly, and unfortunately, these killers exist in the virtual world of the internet. In peer groups they could not likely find, much less sustain, if not for the modern communication age.
Lanza wouldn't have easy access to guns if his mother didn't have them in the home.It ain't the guns. And you have made no argument that its conservatism, while all arrows point to liberal trash.
Why the hell are we even discussing this though, this thread is not about gun control, it's about some nutcase who shot a bunch of kids and such.In short, because 2nd Amendment.
And I think you misinterpreted my post - It is likely quite possible to hunt with an AK-47 if you so desired, but likely few people do because such weapons are overkill for that purpose. My response was because your post appeared to assume that a hunter hunting with an AK-47 by default was using the weapon because it had a large mag and could fire automatically. Didn't follow logically so far as I could tell.
Then why are these weapons available to the public???eace
More open gun laws and carry laws would cause more than those 26 to have been
killed. But rights and freedom always makes for a dangerous society. Free is not, free never has been, and free never will be safe. It's about time some of y'all beat that into your skulls.
really upset about 26 innocent victims killedwith hand guns aren't you ?
I can think of another Constitutional practice that puts that number to shame.
I've got 3 kids, I know there's a difference between a first grader and a fetus.
And I love them for the awesome kids that they are, not for their future reproductive capacity.

There's plenty of evidence to suggest that cutting federal funding for mental institutions and facitlities led us down this road to mass killings by the mentally ill.

Yes, those topics are all certainly related to the right to keep and bear arms :roll:
Let me know when you wish to keep your arguments on target.
The proposed gun control would not have stopped the massacre in CT. Spare me the pseudo-stupid comparisons.
It's merely a statement of fact. Sorry if you don't like reality. But free is dangerous. Always has been, always will be.
No.Unfortuately, carrots didn't kill the 26 people in CT, guns did.
If however there was a E- COLI virus found in a certain batch of carrots and they were sold to the public and the store they came from knew it but sold them anyway and people got sick and died what do you think would happen to the store owner????eace
Actually, I heard a comment from them today. They've said the had no intention of making political issues more important than the grieving of parents.
You can make it as stiff as you like, they're not going to find what isn't there. Besides, gun control doesn't reduce crime. Gun control doesn't stop massacres....it's the straw man of straw men. If it did, I'd be all for it.
Because we have a constitutional right to own firearms.
