That certain people should not have access to firearms is a no-brainer, the actions of the few do not warrant sweeping legislation against the rest of us. At least let me commit a crime before deciding that I can't be trusted with my rifle.
Agreed. I own several firearms. I have no wish to kill or injure anyone, anywhere at any time. I do understand Min's position. Too many fucktards can get their hands on a black market firearm and its fair to say that not enough restrictions may be in place, but we didn't start banning box-cutters when a handful of nutbag muslims used them to hijack a few airplanes and kill thousands of people. We reviewed our lack of security, revamped it, and started doing a much better job of policing those who have access to an airplane. That's what we need to do with guns. Much better restrictions, tighter controls, and harsher penalties.
Outlawing guns would be unconstitutional, and I find it EXTREMELY hypocritical to hear people say that we should do just that while screaming that their constitution is being violated on some other issue like prayer in schools. We don't let the christians get away with cherry picking their bible --- we should be held to the same standard. Taking away my right to own a firearm just because some fucktard couldn't deal with life is cherry picking the constitution.
I don't want to get too terribly bogged down in the politics of this, but I'm damn glad we didn't even have to waste an extra dime on the cost of a bullet on this piece of shit in Michigan.
