Amen! I agree whole heartedly with you! There's no reason whatsoever for any normal citizen of the USA to have possession of a friggin' gun! NONE! I asked my hubby this same question last night and he says, ';For when we become involved in a Civil War.'; I'm like, ';Oh BS, that's nuts!';GUN CONTROL guns, virginia tech, 2nd amendment?
You poor lil thing... aww hurt and can't play basketball... cry me a river! Guns are an important right of every american just as important as any of the other Bill of Right Ammendments. What's next you wanna take our knives so we can't stab people

Hunting, to buy ammo to hunt. Target shooting. People do have fun shooting. It is something my family and friends do. We go Target shooting.
If only law enforcement have guns do you not think they will be smuggled over the border just like drugs?????
So you want to take away my 2nd Ammendment right as a citizen.
Okay, then what next? My freedom of speech? My right to choose my religion? What else should we strip away from the Constitution?
If you ban guns, criminals will still have them. So now you've stripped the entire population of law abiding citizens from their right to protect themselves and their families-and you've handed over the country to people like Mr. Cho. Yep, your avatar says it all.
If the 2nd Amendment is there to guard against oppressive governments consider this...
In order to take on the Government, you have to take on the army. Civilian weapons are not going to be anything like a match for the most powerful army on the planet.
If you have the army on your side, then you don't need civilian weaponry anyway.
Another thing to consider:
At the time of writing the 2nd Amendment, what was the average number of shots that could be fired per minute by arms widely available to the populace?
The first thing a dictatorship does is take away guns. The population of North Korea does not own guns... A government can't take over a populous that can fight back if necessary.
Why? One good person with a gun and one well placed bullet could have stopped the criminal in VA in seconds. Criminals will always be able to get firearms. They're the tool of the trade. Gun laws only disarm good people and make them defenseless.
I agree 100% and will go a step farther and say we should include guns used for hunting, don't get me wrong, I love certain wild game, however I would never go hunting. Why?you ask, well it's not that I couldn't shoot what I eat, It's the DICK CHENEYS running around out there with shotguns.
Your ridiculous avatar clearly explains your mental disorder, so I won't waste my time reasoning with you.
I love the logic. Well, gee, if we made guns illegal, ';crazies'; wouldn't find a way to get them!!! Seems that many drugs are illegal, but people find a way to get them. Alcohol is illegal for those under 21, but they seem to be able to get their hands on them. Magically, however, guns will disappear from our society.
The right to bear arms is somehow ludicrous, today. Well, let's see. Your right to freely speak might piss some people off, so can we deem that to be ludicrous? Your right to not be subject to illegal search and seizure interferes with law enforcement trying to catch terrorists, so can we deem that to be ludicrous? I find your religion abhorrent, so can we call it ludicrous? That newspaper printed something that was offensive, so are their freedoms ludicrous?
We should just scrap that whole damn Bill of Rights, because obviously many of those rights don't have a place in 2007.
Well, except for the fact that those rights have always existed; the Bill of Rights just reminds Congress of them so that the idiots on the Hill don't try to pass laws to restrict them.
I for one am blaming your computer for your senseless rant. Therefor, the computers should be banned.
When someone decides to kill someone, they don't care how it is done, they just want them dead. If they can't find a gun they will use any other means necessary to acieve their goal.
the 2nd Amendment is still as important as it was when the founding of this great nation. The Bill of Rights was put together so that the American people would not be under the tyranny of that time. The right to bear arms is as much a part of protection from each other as it from the government. If that man cared about the laws then why did he bring it to a gun-free zone? This is a man who would have gotten a gun regardless and people like you need to just go away.. plz
Gun shops are for law abiding people. I have a sport called target shooting. You may not have the ability to perform this sport, however I do. I also like to hunt. I would imagine you do not. But do I care? Couldn't give a schnit. Just because you do not like my sport does not make it ok for you to ban it. So you are absolutly sure if this guy had no gun he would not have killed? I am sure that he would have found a way to hurt people. He may have driven a car into a crowd or had a backpack full of explosives. Either way people would have died.
Your wealth of ignorance astounds me
This is a free country. Know what I mean by FREE??Government is not the answer to all of our problems and we should NOT rely on it to control our lives.
There are 47 people and their families that would probably disagree with you.
Gun control is being a responsible gun owner. Taking them away from the public is the first step required for preparing them for tyrannical control. If you think that making them illegal for sale will take them off the streets you're dreaming. Making them illegal for private citizens will only take them out of the hands of those who respect the law.
It is unfortunate that guns exist, but it is the person, not the gun, that ultimately is to blame. If that kid hadn't had a gun, he probably would have built some kind of explosive, or set fire, or come in with a homemade flame thrower, who knows? If someone is determined to kill, the lack of a gun won't get in his way.
And if you think guns aren't necessary today, just wait till something like Katrina happens in your neighborhood. You'll be the only fool on the block without a gun, and there goes your water and food. The world has been too cushy for you. It isn't that way for 99.99% of the worlds population. Just ask an old person, or someone who's traveled a little in a 3rd world country. Even the most ''civilized'' countries in the world believe in the right to have weapons. See the gun in my picture? I live in Switzerland. Those are standard issue to every male in the country. Its obligatory to do military service and when you're done, you keep the gun. The death by shooting rate here is virtually nothing when compared to the US. Your problem isn't guns. Its something else.
Sad thing is it's not only the cops that would have guns. Criminals would still get their hands on guns.
Unfortunely the second one dials 911 the cops don't magically appear at the door. They need to travel the road. How much different would thing have been if the Resident in Charge at VT would have had a weapon and used it on the gunman.
You misguided Liberals swear that G.W. Bush is dismantling the Constitution, but yet you attack the Second Amendment.
What a bunch of hypocrites!
If gun control works, why has the UK formed special Police Teams to address the rise of gun crime in the UK?
Why was the Mayor of Nagasaki Japan murdered. Where the Chief of Police stated ';The only people in Japan with guns are the Gangsters.';
It takes 20 to 45 minutes for police to make a emergency response in my area. I'll keep my gun .... Oh, I'm trained and a retired police officer and as a police officer, I trained civilians for their pistol permits. 100% NRA too
Your lack of knowledge could fill volumes. Nuff said.
I think many gun owners are seeking to compensate for feeling inadequate in some department. They think that buy posession the means to kill someone else that they have obtained the power they perceive themselves to be lacking in. Guns should not be in general circulation, but the industry is willing to spend hundreds of millions in lobbying and campaign donations to see that their position remains protected. Blame your political system, that makes politicians obligated to do the bidding of powerful interest groups and businesses so that they can afford the cost of their own electioneering.
You have obviously never had a crime against you.
About five months ago, I had a teenage kid break into my house and I was forced to shoot him. God almighty, I sat in a corner of my house and cried for days over having to kill another, especially as he wasn't but 3 years younger than me.
Honestly, I live alone and pretty much have nothing (family or possessions). It probably would have been better if he had killed my. Maybe he would have had a life-changing event that would have saved him from his life of crime. However, you cannot ask people not have guns. The only one who can protect your family and property is you, and taking away the ability to do such only hurts the good folks.
Your avatar seems appropriate.
