or create laws that say guns aren't allowed in certain places. damn, we should be politicians, can't believe no one thought of this before.
We should outlaw murder, that will stop him cold in his tracks.
No gun lover will ever get over this simple fact: a nutjob with a gun is more deadly than a nutjob without a gun.
Yes, people kill people. Guns are just a tool, but they are a tool that allows mass killing with ease and no physical force. There is no intimacy in the attack, while something like a stabbing is a physically traumatizing thing to do.

And you guys will never figure out that mass killing are like 0.5% of the overall crime picture. You want to make laws that apply to everyone at large, without considering the data for everyone at large, as in places like Chicago, DC, etc. have more crime and are also heavily regulated with regard to firearms.
As is a nutjob with a car, with a knife, with a club, chainsaw, and poison.
And armed law abiding citizens are more threatening to assailants than unarmed law abiding citizens. Since it is physically impossible to keep guns out of the hands of the bad guys (the 94-04 ban proved that), I'd prefer if the good guys were not defenseless.
Yes, certain areas are regulated. But people are not restricted from moving. That means some nutjob can order a gun online or buy one in hillybilly country and then just drive into the city.
BAM, that avoids gun control.
What is needed is a house-by-house sweep and removal of all firearms. Only nutjobs have guns.

That ignores my point.
A gun is an unintimate way of killing people with no physical effort or feeling. You can stand 10 feet away and shoot someone, walk away and there is no physical exertion.
If you want to stab someone to death: that requires a truly sick person. But even then the victim stands a chance. A gun is like using IDKFA and IDDQD in Doom. It makes it impossible for ordinary people to fight back.
The 1938 German Weapons Act
-Jews were forbidden from the manufacturing or ownership of firearms and ammunition
I mean you could move to North Korea or something, guns are banned there. Going by what they say on TV its a Utopia of sorts.
You know what?
I have lived in Canada. No major problems with these guns there, and they only have laws which are slightly more restrictive than American ones.
I have lived in the UK. Guns are effectively banned there, and guess what? NO PROBLEMS.
I have lived in Spain. Guns are effectively banned there, and guess what? NO PROBLEMS.
The problem is that people think it is okay for a normal person in the US to own a gun. That is NOT OKAY.
and there's the issue. the people that misuse guns are not normal people and are not allowed to have guns.
Everyone knows that more guns in the hands of everyone capable of holding one automatically makes society a safe place where no accidents or negligence happens. Obviously we must make sure everyone is provided a firearm at age 18.
So what if someone saw a therapist years ago for depression? They lose their constitutional rights to defend themselves and their family because they sought help but someone who is batshit crazy retains theirs because they didn't?
I'm not sure what level of mental illness people are saying should trigger loss of rights.
What if I want the govt to protect me from dating crazy women by keeping a database of them and making them wear a sign?
Hold me government, hold me. I'm ever so frightened of the world around me.
IMO it is immoral to revoke people's constitutional rights because you think they might do something. It can only be moral to react to what they've actually done.
No one can save you or your kids from random, rare crazy shit. Grow up and accept this and be grateful it is SO rare (it is) or hone school them in an underground bunker and cry yourself to sleep every night in a pool of your own piss. I don't give a fuck how you handle your fears but you will NOT handle them by infringing on my rights.
So fuck off.
And btw recap about me:
Never owned a gun
No criminal record not even speeding ticket.
No mental health problems on or off the books.
Zero drug and alcohol use lifelong
Support nearly unlimited access to weapons, ammo and all drugs of all kinds.
I am uninterested in appeals to consequence, freedom is non-negotiable.
Proper reaction to event like this is nothing whatsoever.
The Colorado shooter had a large capacity magazine, and it jammed. They aren't as reliable. If he would have been using normal 20 or 30 round magazines, he would have killed more people. So your "solution" would have helped kill more people.
A start? Anti-gun politicians won't stop. Look at the UK, Mexico, Cuba, North Korea, or any other 3rd world dictatorship.
Unarmed criminals kill more people than assault weapons.
They aren't allowed to have them, but they have easy access to them.
Why do they have easy access to them?
Because there are a group of crazies in the US called "gun owners" who think guns should flow around the country like water because of some 'constitutional right' which is being interpreted today in no manner relatively close to what was meant.

That's ONE case, can we count on large-capacity magazines to fail as a protective measure??, if this nutjob went to that school unarmed do you really think he could kill 20 kids and 6 adults in less than 5 minutes with his bare hands?. I really have no issue with gun collectors or gun ownership and wish they were all handled and locked away but that's not what's been happening, in reality though at this point with gun ownership legal for the last 200+ year's there are so many weapons around already I doubt banning anything would increase public protection at all, cat's kinda out of the bag on this one..

Other countries have more violence and shootings than the good ole US of A. Fact.

Thats great and all, now back to the correlation between unarmed citizens and tyranny.You know what?
