A gun, not a person, killed this child.

"when this shit is gonna stop,"?

As soon as the legal drug pushers stop drugging the kids. Not a moment sooner.

Where is it written we have to do things sequentially? This is the twenty first century; we can work on both issues in parallel. Pass significant firearm regulation and address the abuse of legal and illegal drugs.

This so sad and fucked up

statistics

Outlaw guns and crime will go up, not down, once it is perceived potential victims are unarmed.

Are you serious? What a fucking moronic thing to say!

And 'stricter regulations' for guns does not equate to them being outlawed.

I read the article twice and still don't understand how the gun fired all by itself. Explain please?

It is a fact, more lawful people able to defend themshelves with firearms crime goes down. Not a moronic thing to say.

[QUOTE=trish;1248590]It's also illegal to take knives into school, yet in China a man injured 23 school children with a knife. Fortunately no one was killed. If it had been easier for the perp to acquire semi-automatic weapons, there may have been 23 children dead today in China as well.



You still haven't explained how this can happen when it was illegal to take a firearm into the school.

Odd, the Pennsylvania State Police are quoted as saying, "This happens all too often where people thing the gun was empty."

Try this experiment if you dare. Buy a 9mm Taurus handgun and put a live round in the chamber and cock. Pointing directly at yourself, tape it to the dash. Now drive on a pot-hole riven road for as long as you dare. Come back and tell us how many miles you drove. If you refuse to do the experiment you concede the point.

Don't need to. The knife was illegal too, but easier to acquire. The more difficult a particular weapon is to acquire, the less often it will be used in these sorts of crimes. Semi-automatic weapons are designed to kill, yet we sell them like candy on line and at gun shows. Time to stop.
