You can, but we also have the 2nd Amendment that states: "..., the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed." Which means no law can infringe on that right.

This is true, yet the tool used is less important than the motive for the criminal act. Is one any less dead (murdered) if a bomb, poison, hammer, truck or blade is used to kill them?

This is not bible
 
I personally believe the freedoms are more important than lives. We do need a healthcare care system and only responsible adults should be armed, but they should be as armed as they want to be, even with mean looking (aka assault) rifles.

Over the years we have developed a society that is VERY self involved and very isolated. The feedback people get tends to be filtered due to less interpersonal communication so their ideas are not adequately challenged. Combine that with rampant use of psychoactive drugs through prescription and recreational use and you have the foundation of a society where acting out violently becomes more commonplace.

An overabundance of "life stress" and negative stimulation from media sources doesn't help. I think our society is pretty ill.
 
Not really, people have always died for freedom, but that is not the point of this. The point is as long as we are free these things will happen, but we do need to be responsible.

We are a secular society. The Bible has no legal power in our government or laws. The Constitution, however, is the most powerful document within our system of laws. Therefore, the 2nd Amendment to the US Constitution is not Bible, as you say - it has more power than the Bible, and cannot be changed by simply acting as if it doesn't matter, as people can do with religion.

We are a nation of laws, not of men, and not of religion. We are defined by our laws and how we adhere to them.

We sure as hell aren't thriving.
 
I think the glory is apart of it. This bastard will be known to everyone, no matter if they think good or bad of him. The bigger, the better to have more than 15 minutes. He was a nobody and now he's someone.

Definitely not thriving. Values lacking, families failing, idolizing material things, terrible role models, mental illness, substance abuse, road rage, gluttony, no moral restraint, and the list goes on. Anyone who performs a mass murder - terrorist or not, is either very mentally sick or evil, regardless if they use a pipe bomb, an airplane, or a gun.
