It seems so easy to do that to a transit bus somewhere here in the U.S.

I don't really get the gun addiction at all. The defence is they'd boost safety? How many mass shootings have been foiled because of everyone having gun rights? Yes killers are gonna kill, but it'd be a lot easier to deal with them when the entire fucking population isn't jumping in the potential-gun-carrying-psycho-suspect-pool.

And as far as I know, I'm still yet to hear of a mass shooting taking place in a school in Europe. Might be wrong, but if it ever has happened here it's exception, not something that happens every month.

We already have a million gun laws on the books but they want to pass the ultimate one that will allow them to confiscate all guns across the country. In a way they have the Moses complex. They think that if they have enough laws that everything will be perfect. And like Moses, they aren't above killing anyone (figuratively) who disagrees with them.(June 12, 2016 at 3:06 pm)Wyrd of Gawd Wrote: They use car bombs in other places that restrict guns.

Notice how people went ape shit crazy when Trump said that he would ban all muslims from entering the country. It's safer politically for the Dems to focus on banning guns than it is for them to focus on banning muslim terrorists. Besides, McCain wants to fund the terrorists with our tax money. |
