Yet another school shooting
August 21, 2013 at 3:47 pm
A man carrying an AK-47 opened fire in a Georgia elementary school, luckily nobody was injured or killed:

I will say it again, these kinds of incidents will continue to happen until we get sensible gun control in this country.
Christian apologetics is the art of rolling a dog turd in sugar and selling it as a donut.

This country needs strict gun laws like here in Chicago

Guns don't kill people; terrorists with commercial airliners kill people.
I say we ban jumbo jets!

Statisticaly these kind of events are just as common in the US as they are elsewhere in the world.
And strict gun control will not prevent a person who is determined to commit a massacre.
I remember a girl trying to do a massacre in a highschool in Germany with a sword 4 or 5 years ago.

You do understand that there is a difference between "trying" to do it and "doing" it?

Isn't that like the third most common plot in anime?
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."

Screw it...ban them back to black powder(pre minie ball days, preferably). Hard to conceal a 34" barreled smoothbore, and harder to hit a target. A 911 call can be responded to in the time it takes to reload as well.
