The FAST Approaching Gun Ban

[robertlouis]

The NRA won't rest until the gifting of guns to new born children at christenings becomes compulsory.

Mark my words.

Gun ban? Fat chance...

The girl in the first picture and the boy in the third picture need more trigger discipline. 4 out of 6 ain't bad for a bunch of kindergartners.

Yeah, if we give children guns and 1/3 have poor trigger discipline, what could happen? Zombies and werewolves, look out!

Yep, here we go again. A FedEx employee entered a company warehouse in Georgia this morning, armed to the teeth. He shot six people, three of whom were critically injured, before killing himself.

Georgia just last week passed a law allowing secret carry everywhere in the state, including schools, churches, bars etc. Here's Santorum praising the new law explaining how it makes everyone in Georgia safer.

At least now law abiding citizens have the ability to return fire, and kill the spree killer, instead of having to follow Department of Homeland Security recommendations to duck under desks and defend themselves with scissors (Or wait 10-20 minutes until SWAT arrives). Returning fire is the only way to stop a crazed gunman on a spree.

Stop them from what? If you're returning fire, it means they already got some rounds off and probably shot someone.

Pull your gun out and shoot them before they get the idea to go on a spree, that's what I say.

Oh, wait. Better yet. Don't let them get hold of a gun in the first place.

Well yea, that is kinda the point of "self defense". One must come under attack to utilize force of any kind to protect them-self. Returning fire means stopping further loss of life, obviously. One person was killed, rather than a dozen or two or three.

Pull your gun out and shoot them before they get the idea to go on a spree, that's what I say.

You miss the point of nearly all of these shootings. They are premeditated spree killings. It's not like Adam Lanza decided to walk into Sandy Hook Elementary with the intent to shoot one person and then suddenly thought, "why not kill everyone?".

Oh, wait. Better yet. Don't let them get hold of a gun in the first place.

You wish it would be that easy. Unfortunately, even with universal background checks, criminals have multitudes of ways to access illegal firearms, even in countries where guns are outright prohibited like the UK and Japan. They find ways if they are that determined.
