I'm sorry to bring this up, but just saw another shooting near Texas A&M college station. My heart goes out to all the victims and survivors. When will people stop the violence? There has just been so many shootings it's getting ridiculous and the psychos' behavior disgusts me:explode:

    I know right?! I just got done telling my husband that they should make an example out of these Aholes. If they would just torture the heck out of them the next psycho would think twice about doing it. They are so lenient on them. They want to plea insanity!! I think they know exactly what they are doing.

    People will NEVER stop violence because evil exists. The potential for manifestation of evil exists in most of mankind. As long as evil has a means, evil will happen. :(

    True but these sort of things happen a lot more frequently and are a lot more deadly when people have easy access to high powered weapons. As for torturing them, the sad fact is most of them are insane. Sane people don't take automatic weapons and shoot any child, women or men who's unlucky enough to be in the same place as them. IMHO the trick is to keep the nuts away from the guns. Simple.

    More frequently than when? Maybe it's simply reported more?

    For what it's worth, people don't take automatic weapons period because they are almost impossible to get. When Evil wants to happen, evil doesn't wait for a gun. Evil uses knives, sticks, "law" (see nazi germany, etc), or pitchforks (see Frankenstein's monster).

    Really feels good to know not just the bad guys have guns. I'd love to see 2000% more legal firearms in the hands of good, honest people.

    Heard a news report of a jilted lover in China, killed 8 people with a knife....people were killing people with blades long before guns were invented. BTW my gun has never killed anyone, it's never even wounded anyone and I leave it all by itself all the time.

    Im a firm believer in keeping guns in the hands of law abiding citizens cause frankly average joe mugger on the street is less likely to try and use a weapon or steal from someone if he doesnt know if granny over there is packing (example)

    I don't think anyone has been killed by an automatic in the us in a very long time. People who don't know **** about guns use automatic and semi automatic weapons interchangeably.

    An unarmed populous is a governments wet dream!

    Canada has one third the gun kill rate of the US, but the same overall homicide rate. How can they possibly kill without guns?
    Back on the hockey sticks idea again, and those giant Mountie hats

    People have had access to high powered weapons for the entire history of the US. This is the first period in US history where the civilians weapons are less powerful than normal military weapons. Try again.

    A lot of them are on, or have been on, some type of prescription psychotropic drugs.

    Poor diets don't help mental health, and MOST people in the US eat absolute crap for food.

    There is also a lot of stress involved with poor economic conditions, and the fact that citizens are not allowed to address their grievances to the government anymore without getting pepper sprayed and beaten.
