If the US had similar laws to canada there would not be near the amount of guns being smuggled in.

No, it's the guns. We hand out guns to anyone who wants one and this includes the people that are not normal too.

No, if you outlaw guns it will not be something else. People use guns because it requires no prep time, it's quick, easy, and nearly impossible to stop.

And don't give me no bullshit about how we need guns to protect ourselves. No one pulled a gun last night to stop this guy, and even if they did it would have been too late. Ever notice how when this kind of stuff goes down there is never someone with a concealed weapon who takes action?

We hand out guns to nearly anyone. A friend of mine just got divorced, he's pissed and bitter, and he just bought a gun. He got a permit, went through the waiting period, and now he's a gun owner. No one says "gee, this guy just got divorced three months ago AND lost his house". Hello?

LOL. The movies is one thing.... Most 11 and 12 year olds now play Call Of Duty where they hunt people down to kill them. Great.

yeah yeah in "reality" there is no such thing as an "illegal" gun but i don't care about your semantics.

i teared today when i saw the news and heard of the lil girl shot in her backl think about that, an innocent lil girl who just wanted to watch a movie. senseless killing.

3 month old baby wounded as well.

so you punish the normal people because of your fear? that's bullshit and it won't happen unless you want another civil war :2 cents: will be kind of short because what are the people that don't believe in guns use? bullhorns?

CNN is eating this up for days

I say give everyone flame throwers, machine guns and nuclear weapons. Will you feel safer then?

Exactly.

And no matter how anyone tries to spin it, there's simply no refuting that argument.

And therefore, after the dust settles, that's why nothing will change.

Actually...it has been insane a VERY long time, throughout history.

Mass media makes it possible for the entire world to hear about horrific atrocities instantly as opposed to the old days when it was mostly word-of-mouth.

its not happening in canada..

Correct, it will make it way less. Funny how an 8 year old could figure that out yet you gun loving 3rd world country idiots can't.

Banning murder has not ended murder. May as well legalize it.

Bah, don't even try to argue with pro-gun people, in their alternate universe they seriously believe the answer to gun violence is more guns.

But whatever your beliefs, you can't possibly justify the failure to extend the assault weapon ban (read up if you're unfamiliar). Any country that thinks it's perfectly fine for private citizens to own Ak-47s is beyond help.

i heard they put muscle relaxers in the syrup over there. :helpme

Statistics show that the US is about as bad as a lot of 3rd world countries when it comes to gun violence. The US has more violence in general than most civilized countries.
Isn't thad odd? I thought guns made everything more safe?

Yes, gun nuts are some of the dumbest people around. It's just crazy. Any form of logic is gone as soon as they start protecting their right to own guns.

Guns make gun companies rich. That's the one and fucking only reason why they are not banned.

Seriously, you can't be THIS retarded. That's just not possible.

Not everyone here is a gun loving whacko.

What I find amusing is these gun nuts portray themselves as tough guys, yet they are so scared of their own shadow they can't walk out their front door without a weapon.

Yup. Go buy more guns. It will make things safer.

And where do the majority of illegal guns come from?
Thank U.S.A. for exporting your gun problem north, we owe you one.

And for the truly ignorant, we have the longest undefended border in the world, there's is no realistic way to keep guns out of Canada.

And yet in the same country, a presidential candidate wants to ban porn?

Oh yeah because there is soo many people being killed by the adult sector :1orglaugh

More Guns + Less Porn = Win?

well there you have it

the guy is most likely mentally ill and visits infowars.com on a regular basis. how many other crazies that went on a shooting spree frequent that site? its like a breeding ground for the delusional.

I don't live in fear of anything.

I don't live in fear of going to the movies, the mall, or sending my kid to college. The odds of me or my child facing something like this is pretty much nil.

My problem is we hand guns out like it's candy. My friend just got a divorce. His beautiful wife just drop kicked, he lost his house, lives in a crappy apartment, and he has no fucking social skills what so ever. He always wanted a gun, wife wouldn't let him, and now that he doesn't answer to his wife he decided to go out and get one. He passed the background check and went through the waiting period, but no one ever said "Hey, this guy just went through divorced and lost everything and there might be a problem here". They just said "okay" and now he's got a handgun even though he's a perfect candidate for loosing it all and going on a shooting spree.

There's no classes, no training, no mental check, no nothing.

Take guns out of it. We don't let people drink until they are twenty-one because they are not responsible enough to be trusted with drinking... Yet we have no fucking problem handing out a driver's license at age sixteen. Can't trust a twenty year with a beer, but we can trust a sixteen year old to pilot a guided missile down the same streets you and I drive. Not sure about you, but when I was sixteen I was a horrible driver - and I had a list of tickets and accidents to prove it. I totaled two cars before I was nineteen.

At the same time, the guns that are out there need to be locked down. It's a pretty simple concept - I don't live my keys in my car and no one can take my car. If you own a firearm, it needs to be physically on you or locked up, no exceptions. Telling me it's in your nightstand isn't good enough - your kid can get it, someone else's kid can get it, anyone can break into your house and get it.

At Lightspeed Cash we had a programmer and one night while I was with him he got pulled over. I had no fucking clue but he had enough firepower in the trunk of his car to start a serious war. He handguns, rilfes, and shotguns... He also a MAC10 and an Uzi. Why the fuck does a programmer need to carry a dozen firearms in his car on a daily basis?

you people are fucking idiots... it will not end it but make it WAY less.. let's say guns are illegal, yes you can still get them on a black market but it will be WAY harder then just go to the store and buy them...you need to know connections to get into black market to buy one, many under cover cops might pose as a seller and catch people left and right before they do anything... like if I wanted an illegal gun right now I would not know where to go and get one, that's a prove right there that it would stop a lot of people

blame it on the guns. guns don't shoot people.people shoot the guns. do some research most of the people that are doing these mass shootings don't have records.
oh man don't get me started :1orglaugh you can't drink till 21 but you can go to war and kill people or end up dead over there.

Was it Lane?

either way your argument is feeble here..

I'm not for banning guns either but comparing them to cars and spoons is ridiculous.

This is what I don't understand with the USA. You can get married and own a gun at 16 but can't have an alcoholic drink at your own wedding to celebrate. You have to wait 5 years. The rest of the world is 18 for the most part, around the time you are done High School or in your first year of College/University. Perfect time to be legal to drink alcohol, you already made massive life decisions, I think you can handle some booze.

People use guns to shoot people. Take away the guns and people can't shoot people.

This fucker last night isn't going to take a baseball bat or a knife and kill a dozen people in thirty seconds. They use guns because it takes zero prep time, it's instant, and it's difficult to stop a gunman.

In fact, no, it was a kid named Phil. Before Lane.

When I was in the Marines I was seventeen and wasn't allowed to drink. Go figure.

However, on base the legal drinking age was 18 and in town... Well, no one really carded back then. No one cared.

I think you mean turrible

Things are a bit different down here.

Within a two week span five houses on my block were burglarized and in one instance the woman was home, she locked herself in the bathroom. And judging by the property taxes I pay, one might reasonably assume that this is supposed to be a "nice" neighborhood.

The other day I read about how even the banks are now hiring thugs to break into peoples houses and throw their shit out into the front yard. And these aren't even court sanctioned foreclosures. They're going after homeowners who are just two or three months behind or, in some cases, they target the wrong house altogether.

It's getting to be like the wild west all over again.

And you're wondering why people down here want to keep guns in their homes?

The shooter didnt do it, the government that built the roads to drive to get there is responsible.

Homemade guns arent possible? really?

I cant even calculate the odds of being in just one movie theater shooting in a life time much less 2 theater shooting in one month. That is some really freaky stuff :party-smi
