Mass Shooting at DK premiere in CO!

[shaustin]

It's the guns that the wackos can get that are the problem - if that wackos can't get them, then no problem.

Since when are guns the ONLY way for an insane killer to take lives? When they start going to homemade bombs will you outlaw diesel fuel and fertilizer? If they then turn to running through crowded public places with chainsaws chopping people up, should we make them illegal too? While yes, getting rid of guns will stop a few select cases where access and ease were contributing factors, it will by no means deter an unstable person who is out for any random innocent's blood.

Too many Americans nowadays are against reasonable restrictions on gun ownership.
It's easier to get a driver's license than it is to own a gun. That's really fucked up.

The only people who should be allowed to own high caliber semiautomatic weapons are the military and police.

The guns rights advocates have turned into another version of the religious moral majority. Gun ownership has become an article of faith instead of an issue of public safety.

Sure, give all the power to the government. Meanwhile this happened in Anaheim, CA this weekend after the cops who are supposed to protect us, not only gunned down a man but then opened fire on crowds of people in a residential neighborhood, discharging deadly rubber bullets and bean bags on children and women and vicious K-9 unit dogs on said women and children. Fuck the police and fuck this country. Those pigs are lucky that wasn't my neighborhood or there would be dead bacon on the ground. What kind of fucking law enforcement, that you look up to as protectors, DARES to open fire on children and sick dogs on them. THIS IS WHY I COMPARE AMERICA WITH SYRIA. Watch that video and tell me NONE of you feel the same rage I do right now.

You can kill a lot more people more easily with an assault rifle and at a distance. I'm sure it's easier to kill randomnly from 20ft away than 6 inches away with a blade. This is a tired argument and it's stupid - "ban paper in case you get a paper cut" - pathetic.
You like guns - and you're willing to support having them because you like them, regardless of the consequences. Everything else is just blind justification.

"Power" isn't bought by havuing a gun.
You talk a big talk ... sincerely, after the rhetoric above, I'd be worried about you owning guns.

This is sickening and I've been on the receiving end of it and it makes me angry but your threats, whether empty or real, aren't how you'd resolve this. It would lead to just another dead tgirl.

We outlaw pot and are going after medicinal growers but the public needs to be able to buy assault weapons at sporting goods stores with no waiting period ----because we need to defend ourselves against the goverment, police and military? really?

You complain as if guns are a huge problem in America. When was the last time in this country we had a spree shooting? A couple years? Earlier I posted statistics about tobacco and the resulting death toll it has caused. For the 12 people that died this weekend, about 57 people also died from cigarettes. While a spree killing occurs about once ever couple/few years. For every ~two dozen people killed in an atrocity like this, about ~1.5 million people died in the US during that same period, from tobacco and its related diseases. Of those ~1.5 million, 150,000 of them were non-smokers. Think of the non-smokers as civilian bystander casualties.

CDC Tobacco Death Toll (USA Annual): 443,000 Smokers + ~45,000 Non-Smokers (Second-Hand Smoke Exposure)

ALL GUN RELATED DEATHS PER YEAR, USA: ~32,000

Once you've achieved banning tobacco completely and ensuring that cigarettes are completely illegal within the United States of America, come back to this forum and let us know your progress and we can move on the gun bans. Until then, keep whining.

Wow.

[buttslinger]

As long as Boehner passes out checks from the Tobacco Lobby to his Republican Buddies, cigarettes will be legal. Same with the NRA.

Morons call that freedom.

The only thing that stopped more fatalities was that the Joker's AR-15 jammed, and he was too stupid to fix it.
