Another shooting in a Maryland Mall

Call me a coward all you want. I will continue towards a brighter future and a better place for the whole entire HUMAN race. Where we live in harmony with the lesser animals among nature, not beat them into submission. You need to clear your mind of hate and meditate more, brother Tiberon.

Would you be ok with convicted criminals having the right to bear arms after their sentence is served?

 

[desert dude]

but all joking with the rabbit aside, there's a reason why jared loughner and adam lanza and james holmes and eric harris and dylan kliebold all used semi automatic guns with high capacity magazines.

it's not because knives and stones and fists are better for pulling off mass murders.

AND...... THEY...... WERE/ARE...... INSANE......

The AR platform rifle is the most popular and best selling rifle in America. They are in the hands of millions of people who daily don't murder or menace anybody. Why do you want to menace them?

If you want to be honest and law abiding there is only one way to disarm the American public: amend the constitution to revoke 2A, and specifically prohibit citizens from owning weapons. Good luck.

I would, unless they were convicted of a crime using a firearm. Then, depending on the case, I would hand down a suspension of their right to own a gun, that fits the crime.

All other felons have the right to own firearms once they paid their debt to society, IMO.

Are you OK with legal (by state law) cannabis users being prohibited from owning firearms?

That's the thing about knives and bats. They don't make much noise, so no one notices. And the perp gets away. Some guy killed 8 people with a knife in a college dorm. He got away. The question about the military is just idiotic.

it is only idiotic because you know the question is a trap, any reasonable answer you give will stregnthen my argument. Yes, people have managed to kill multiple others with guns. So again, why do we arm our military?

 

[canndo]

No, the problem isn't the people with guns.
Your arguments are invalid/illogical from this post forward (I came back to this one).....I think the broken link in your chain of comprehension is this...you believe the government is the solution. You believe the government can save you from bad huys with guns by making laws to do so. You believe that even if the bad guy gets a gun after all guns are illegal that the government will be there to save you.
what do you do when the bad guy IS the government and that motherfucker just took away your guns?

But that could never happen, right?

Self defense aint all about that douche in the mall...and it aint something that can be infringed upon...so suck my non-NRA dick.

So.... the problem is the government? is that what you are saying? Are you still under the belief that your gun will actually save you from a government run rampant? Tell me, has it yet? and when will you begin to overturn, with your firearms, the U.S. Federal government, you recall the one, that has the finest military in the world, the most advanced weapons, lethal and otherwise? Let us know when you and that band of finally outraged folks are going to take back our country.

Would you grant the same mercy, leaving those who have paid their debt to society - to pedophiles as well Beenthere?

You think no one in the military will join our band?

Few, very few.. Folks have been complaining about loss of rights since the place here started, now we are expecting drones hovering at every bedroom window and orbiting cameras that can keep constant watch on large swaths of cities in real time. Now, when are you going to being this uprising? And how, exactly will it occur?

hmmm?

 

[UncleBuck]

No, the problem isn't the people with guns.

well then who's committing all these mass murders if not people with guns then?

no one is talking about that, you fetid lapierre nut clinger.

the second amendment is not absolute, you hyperbolic racist pile of (hi, cannabineer).

Who will pay the taxes so the soldiers get paid? I have friends in the military. Those in the military will tell their disdain for Obama, especially when he closed the government and didn't pay some current and veterans. Lots of national guard didn't get paid on time and especially hate him. Many have told me they aren't signing up again until the liberals get out.

i heard ted cruz' home address is being published for anyone who wants to collect their share of the $29BILLIONour country's employees will never see and will never circulate in our economy..

thanks..tea party!

 

[tip top toker]

it's because guns were readily available imvho.. but to think that someone hell bent on killing someone would simply opt not to kill because they couldn't get a gun is kind of silly imo..

plenty of other lethal options out there for any wanna be killer to use, outlaw one, and someone determined will simply find an alternative, of course, imvho..

The difference is between someone killing someone, and someone killing people. People get murdered all over the world, but where mass murders are involved, it seems to happen in places where guns can be easily acquired. It may indeed be true that guns don't kill people, people do. But it is also very arguable that people do not kill a dozen people in a movie theatre with a knife, but they can quite "happily" do it with their legally obtained automatic weapon. With the availability of guns, it also makes it a hell of a lot easier to kill people in the psychological sense. Stabbing people takes a lot of will power, indiscriminantly spraying people from a distance, not so much.

As to the criminal and home defense aspect that is always brougfght up with gun control, there is a reason there are so few armed home invasions in the like of the UK, because if a criminal wants a gun, he can easily get one, but they don't, because they know that the odds that there are guns in the house they're breaking into is next to none.

 

[Balke Buds]

well then who's committing all these mass murders if not people with guns then?

Liberals with guns.
they aren't people, everyone knows that.

Just because a liberal cant control their emotions and wants to kill a few people doesn't mean I should give up my human right to defend myself.

Also, all the comments being tossed around about the military...someone who is in the military will not say so in this particular forum thread....your comments about shit you know nothing about should be framed in the context of you dont know shit, militray persons are way more likely to disagree with everything you have to say. Less than 1% of the population serves this country so you can spout your shit on a forum about growing an illegal plant. They do not blindly serve a master...if and when a choice has to be made you can believe that their beliefs will guide them...not some blind obedience to some fuckin master...believe that.

The second amendment is not vague in it's language, pretty cut and dry....it is only liberals who hate guns that think otherwise.

Do you have a citation for this partisan rhetoric? Like how do you know all these spree killers are "liberals?" Are you just making it up of are you gonna try and pull out that chain email that claims everyone from McVeigh to Lanza was a registered Democrat?

And the 2nd Amendment is very vague. There's just been over 200 years of politicians, lawyers, activists, and judges discussing it.
