New game for the kiddies
Like the Jesuits really... get em before the age of five.
Tonight at a community college in Hazzard Kentucky a gunman killed two people.

Trish - the accent should be on the man not the gun. Without the gun he might have punched them to death, suffocated them or some other form of dastardly deed. The fact he used a gun is irrelevant.
You're right. What if the shooter had sponges instead of a gun, the victims might have been painfully exfoliated to death.
But if he did not have a gun he may have come to his senses before he could complete some other violent act without the benefit of a firearm.
One of the really terrible things about firearms fired in anger is that their damage is so immediate and so absolute. Firearms enable bad people to do really bad things in a split second.
I don't think anybody believes that sensible gun safety regulation would end all violence or even all gun violence. But do nothing is like saying we should not have fire departments because they can not stop all fires from destroying property and that the real problem is arsonists, poorly wired homes and hot dry weather IMO.
OKAY,
Over my life most people I've known have had absolutely no interest in guns, some have had guns, and a few were really into guns. I have a few stories that I really shouldn't tell here. I had a .22 revolver that was stolen from my house (for home protection) a .22 automatic that I bought at a gun show and sold at a gun buy-back, and now I have a .38 detective special revolver, which I bought from one of the truck drivers at my old job, no background check, no registration in Virginia. My Dad left us a .25 Luger that a Mayor in Belgium gave him in WWII, and a vintage pellet gun.
One of my best friend's step-daughter was murdered in a December 26 2000 massacre in Massachusetts, she had just returned to work that day from maternity leave. I knew her as a little girl, she was as full of life as anybody I've ever known, and very pretty. The guy who shot her was a stone cold psycho.
Before all you dang bleeding heart liberals point your fingers at hick yahoos as the problem here, remember that there is a FREEDOM precedent in play here, there are millions, literally MILLIONS of decent hard working citizens that consider transsexuals to be human abominations, freaks, mental rejects. Or whores.
Millions of church going Souls consider internet porn to be more dangerous to our children and society than guns are. You've got to know every fifth grade class has that one kid that is opening the eyes of his classmates with computer sites of shemales, beastiality, homosexuality, rape fantasies, BDSM, you name it.
I'm in favor with every little thing Obama is proposing and probably more. I would guess the overwhelming majority of serious gun owners and collectors are. The objective here is not to alienate gun enthusiasts, it's to win them over.
Of course talking about it means nothing if you don't do something about it.

Apologies if these comments by pitcher and esteemed historian John Rocker have been posted.
Hey Fivekatz, Prospero was sarcastically using the pro-gun lobby's stock argument to show how ridiculous it is.

So the guy's trying. Any chance? Or is it back to the Status Quo?
