no one should be able to buy an assault rifle for anything...

hand guns I'm OK with
it's very easy to pickup any weapon you like in VA without ID

Guns don't kill people, people kill people!

If someone wants to take out another person or a group of people, they are going to find a way to do it with or without a weapon. As a society, we just have to make sure that they places we work, learn, eat, shop, etc... have effective safety measures to stop a major incident like from happening in the future.

If you outlaw guns, only outlaws will have guns ~

Guns are not the problem.

Nothing can be done about shyt like this. Its the price of living in a free society. Your safety is and never was guarnteed 100%.

You cant control people. Sorry to tell ya.

Freedom ain't free

Why don't I pay this price in Canada? Why don't they pay this price in Western Europe or Japan or Korea or the rest of the free world?

That's the million dollar question. We got q different mentality and mindset I guess . Plus a lot of ppl commit shyt like this for the infamy the press gives them. They write books and movies and psycho analyze these scumbags lives .

Some guy in china just went on a knife spree . It does happen . Its just crazy ppl being crazy. There's no predicting it or controlling it.

From 2009 -

Number of Murders,
United States, 2009: 15,241
Number of Murders by Firearms, US, 2009: 9,146



These people preaching that guns don't kill people are out of their minds, yeah a gun isn't going to do any damage on it's own, the problem is the proliferation of them and how easy it is to get one.

China has 1.4 billion people, they had 13,000 murders last year, stop using them as an example.

For every guy going on a knife spree in China and wounding people we can point to 5 people with guns murdering 10+ people in some crazy shooting spree.

I hate to make this about race but if they think that the aggregate demand for firearms is not increased by the insatiable appetite of gangs and drug dealers in the inner city then you gotta be asleep. Once the gun is in the gun shop, the gun makers already got paid... when someone steals a gun out of the store, insurance covers it and guess who gets paid...It's right in front of your eyes brothers and sisters these guns are the worst poison in your communities.

At the end of the day. The gun is just a tool. If you got ur wish and guns were gone then death by knives and hammers and bludgeoning would go up.

Why are people killing each other is the question you need to ask. Not what tool did they isr to do it

You think if guns were gone . Drug dealers and gangs would stop killing.?

:mindblown:

If guns were harder to come by, we'd be much more like UK than we are now, criminals would have guns but using them would bring down a ridiculous amount of heat. The UK has less murders per year than 2 of our major cities put together......stop and think about what the variable is here, a country of 60 million having 700 murders while two cities with around 6 million people gets to 800 murders.

You'd have less random killings because it would be much more difficult for a 15 year old to get a gun. I don't know how anyone can look at 15,000 murders, 9000 of them being by way of gun and think the gun has nothing to do with it.

It makes killing impersonal and easy.

They don't want to think about that.
