COME ON YOU GUN NUTTERS, PLEASE TELL US WHY IT IS OK for guns to be as available as candy. I am sick of your fucking crap. FUCK THE NRA!
FIREFIGHTERS! TWO DEAD AND TWO WOUNDED and it wasn't a fucking water balloon that killed them.
When I'm talking to someone, I'm sure to SCREAM IN THEIR FACE, it FUCKING STRENGHTENS MY ARGUMENT, because, you know, ITS FUCKING COOL.
Other than that, new thread on guns, news @ 11.
I don't give a fuck about being "cool". I think more people should SCREAM THEIR FUCKING HEADS OFF ABOUT A VERY REAL PROBLEM.
Really? 32 people a day die because of guns and you think I am doing this to be "cool". Pathetic.

Yeah, I'm sure the guns woke up that morning and said, "I'm gonna kill 32 people"........
As batshit as the NRA tends to be, even the devil deserves his due.
Guns don't kill people.......people..kill people.
The vast majority of those incidents are a direct result of the social and economic situation of the person involved. Perhaps we should address that - since it's a very real problem.

Right, because screaming at eachother has a nice track record of peaceful resolutions.
Burst a vein for all I care. Fundamentalisms aren't all based on religion you know...

A guy woke up one morning and said "I'm gonna kill 32 people'. But, where he lived, guns were illegal and he could not get one. The best he could manage was a meat cleaver. He knew he might be overpowered before he killed anyone. He understood that short of learning how to make explosives, he could not expect to rack up a significant body count with the means as his disposal. Even if he goes ahead with whatever he can find, it's all but certain that 32 people don't die at his hands that day.

Why can't we address both very real problems simultaneously? Why are we supposed to ignore the more concrete and soluble problem which can be tackled in a matter of years to focus solely on the huge, vaguely-defined one which can only be solved incrementally, over decades?

Well if the tacky overused argument from emotion wasn't enough, the cap-locks certainly convinced me!

I give a fuck about looking cool. Just look at my sexy existance.
I always consider people who scream as irrational nuts who want attention via appealing towards their opinion (which is based on belief an emotion rather than rational inqiery) on the basis of emotion.
I base my opinions mainly on facts. I have posted my opinion in one of the previously opened threads on this forum. I defended it and provided the statistics which lead me to have this opinion. And after people have read it they can choose to question it or approve of it.
What I will not do, even with my opinion which is based on facts and not emotion, is to go to every possible door - knock on it - and then scream my opinion into their faces with as much energy I can waste on screaming.
.................in german.

31940 people in US died due to gun releated injuries in 2011.
258 of does were due to legal intervention.
851 were accidents.
19766 were suicides.
11101 were homicides.
222 in undedermined events.
That means 3 gun releated deaths per hour in 2011 and 1,2 gun releated homicides per hour.
If you are going to use every single one of these gun releated deaths to open a thread in which you try to debate gun control, you are nothing but a vulture exploiting tragedy.
And I for one, will be more interested in the number of rice bags which fell over in China in that hour.
The subject was extensivly debated, I posted my opinion. Others did so aswell, and even debated their points until the momentum faded off.
Only because the threads turned silent this doesnt mean that there is need for a new one, let alone that a new thread on the subject will regain the momentum for the debate.
Exploiting what? You are the one who posted the stats, so are you in on it too?
DAMNED FUCKING RIGHT, why should we ignore what is going on and how dare you accuse me of "exploiting" a fucking thing! Read the numbers you posted. You think that amount of gun death is ok?
You "Don't build a Holocaust museum because you'd be exploiting the Jews and genocide". Pathetic.
You "People die from all sorts of things so fuck it and do nothing", once again, pathetic.
You"shit happens so don't do shit". Pathetic.
Tell that to the families of the Firefighters, and Trevon's parents and anyone who has been affected by a gun death.

If you would manage to compare the numbers with the numbers from the rest of the world, and then list one homicide per 100 000 people.
You would notice that the average homicide rate in the US is not that much higher and in some cases lower than in alot of other European nation.
The highest homicide rates are in south and central america.
I posted these statistics before. But you probably chose to ignore them.

That is you. No one is forcing you to scream, and at the same time who the fuck knocked on your door? No one forced you to read or respond to this post. And my understanding is that this website has an ignore option.
AND it still does not change the FACT that far too much gun death happens in this country. And I DO think the parents of those poor school children, or the firemen and ALL the types of gun death, suicide, and domestic murder and gang violence, WOULD WANT MORE PEOPLE SCREAMING!
So if you don't like what I am posting, DONT RESPOND. But do not presume to tell me what I can or cannot bitch about when you have the option of not responding and are not being forced to respond.
The amount of gun death is totally unacceptable in this country. I am tired of the excuses and the bullshit.

Yeah, and people with guns kill more people than people without guns. You're missing the whole point. Derp.
