And for those of you who suspected religion to have a hand in this massacre, come up and take your prize!

So and again that still does not change that MOST mass shooters are born here. Nor does it change most gun deaths are in the home/neighborhood and the victim is murdered by someone they are familiar with. The PP shooter was not Muslim. The Church shooter was not Muslim.
Again, the makers and industry love this distraction, it avoids the real issue of ease of access to the guns.

Hardly, I am not the only one who feels this way, so if others don't like my word choice, they will still go to other venues and or to advocacy groups on their own without me. I doubt anyone whom sides with me that might disagree with my word choice is in danger of becoming a tea party gun worshiper.
It's not your word choice; it's that the people you're taking your frustrations out on agree with you for the most part. You're preaching to, and insulting, the choir.

You can rightly fuck off with that strawman. I'm not angry at your views; once again, you're not going to get anywhere by preaching to, and insulting, the choir.
Quote:Fine, nobody has to listen to me, but if you want to do something, don't complain about me, if you think you can do better then do it. The goal is still the same, get more voices on the subject.
The amount of gun death should offend you, not me saying "I want this shit to stop".
I'm not offended by your desire for it to stop. I want it to stop as much as, or maybe even more than, you do, but that's not the only thing you've said. You've insulted and offended people by using strawmen and arguments that don't even apply to them.
Why don't you try actually reading what people write instead of immediately going on the offensive as if everyone is automatically against your arguments? It's exhausting!

Its called BTBT.
Because, the "far left" is a hoax. There are not enough people that literally want to remove all guns, nobody thinks that is practical even if I wanted to. Saying "far left" is as nutty as Trump thinking he can deport 11 million people. Again NOBODY is saying take away all guns. THAT is my point and falling for the right's code language gives them that fear to hide behind.
We can make less, make them harder to get so that the wrong people don't get them and yes, you don't need a spray weapon or huge clips. AGAIN nothing in that last sentence says " no guns at all".
If Boru is on the sane side great, so don't play into the gun worshipers language of fear.
Wrong people don't get them?
There's enough of your sick fuck "normal" first offenders. Solve that for us.
AU's and UK and NZ has.
There is only one way. And like you said, it can't happen in the US. To much love for guns.

Brian, the statistics clearly show that the solution to guns is more guns and bigger guns.
If everyone there had had a gun he wouldn't of stood a chance. What aren't you getting about this?

No, if more guns were a solution we would NOT have an increase in these events year after year. The AZ tea party shooters murdered TWO armed cops, then went into a Wal Mart and murdered an armed civilian. The Oregon shooting had people carrying on campus. On of them was military, that guy said he wanted to do something but his training kept him from it.
Is that really what you want? Everyone armed? That is a police state, a paranoid state, not a free society.

"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."

Quote:GOP candidates Ben Carson, Jeb Bush, Lindsey Graham, Ted Cruz, Mike Huckabee, John Kasich and George Pataki all said their thoughts and prayers are with the victims and their families.
Blow your fucking useless prayers out your asses you dumb shits. I'm against gun control laws because it's asinine to deprive a nation's entire population of rights just because a few people get shot. That's the Moses' complex. People fall into the trap of thinking that if they have 100 million laws on the books that everything will be perfect. While Moses may be fictional history does show that countless laws are not effective in regulating people's behaviors.
If a person wants a gun he can steal one from a cop without having to be bothered with a silly-assed background check.

That's why the gun nuts can not be allowed to call the shots. (pun intended.)

There is no state in the union where you are allowed to drive drunk. Why is that less an infringement of your fucking rights than saying you can not have an automatic or semi-automatic weapon?
