Lol at people happily exclaiming "PEOPLE KILL PEOPLE!!!"
THIS!
we all know, thanks tips!0 -
While it's true that guns dont kill people, people do, guns make it easier for people to do it. They give people a sense of power, and that can become consuming. Making it harder for people to get them will naturally reduce the amount that there are. Sure, crims will always have them, but at least then its only the hardcore crims that will get them, not just your average liquor store robber.
Anti-gun.
Are you an American with common sense or are you from somewhere else?
Yeah, because no one ever robbed, raped, killed, maimed, or molested anyone with anything OTHER than a gun. Next we will ban butcher knives and baseball bats.. oh, and dont forget cars. I mean, there is an awful lot of vehicular manslaughter going around. We should make them harder to get.0 -
This crap topic always comes up with a mass shooting happens. Gun control will just keep guns out of the hands of law abiding citizens. The criminal element will always get their hands on guns. Nothing would've stopped this guy in CO. You can't stop crazy.0

Pro: Because John Wayne movies would suck.
Edited to add my point of view...
Let's put it this way: If Ozzy Osbourne told you to go kill yourself in a song, and you did....you're a nutbar. Don't blame Ozzy........a gun is very useful but not in a nutbar's (or god forbid - a child's) hands...
I hate guns, they are kinda scary to me, but if someone invaded my home, I'd like to have a loaded gun handy.
If I'm wrong, then I will humbly hear your view.0 -
You mean "hippie liberal pistol packing scum"...lolguns don't kill people. people kill people.
so...pro-gun.
and yes, i am also one of those hippie liberal scum you hear about.0 -
Well that person is just lovely. What a great human.
That sign is awesome!!0 -
The problem with folks who want to ban guns - as its already been said - guns do not kill people, it is just the tool used to accomplish what the intent was. That is like blaming the fork for making a person fat. So are you going to ban forks? shoot might as well add spoons, plates, cups, etc.
I had this debate on my FB page - and people do not get that theaters do not allow guns in there, so any person in there was doing right by NOT having their weapon on them, because they were following the law. Making gun laws on infringes upon law abiding citizens, it will not stop a crack head on the corner from getting one. There is always a way around it somehow.
it actually isn't a probably with the folks who want gun control....it is the problem of the people who are pro gun that don't get the idea of gun control
we know that people kill people, we aren't stupid
i am telling you right now that it would not have happened to the extent that it did had guns been in more control over there. our shootings in canada are, mostly, gang related with illegal firearms and seldom hit the person that is being shot at, but this **** happens anyway anywhere.
and to add, it doesn't happen to the extent. i feel pretty safe going to the movies. and if something does happen, i know the deaths won't be as high as it was in colorado, unless there is an explosive or something.0 -
