I vote ban for bullets. It's impossible to ever get back all the guns on the planet.

Or at least make them cost a lot more than they do.

From what Obama said in his speech looks like something will change with the current US gun laws

I cannot understand why people would want to own guns. All it takes is one person to develop a mental illness and you have a massacre. But it's also the culture that needs changing. Stop making stupid films glorifying violence, guns and now torture.

The problem with the whole criminals will get guns eventually. The people shooting up schools, movie theaters arent criminals but people who bought guns legally.

heh i can't remember who it was, but there was a funny comedian skit about that. basically saying make each bullet $50, that way when a person is shot at they know they are worth it

Chris Rock

I can make my own.

Once upon a time, patriots who loved liberty, in other words, ordinary Americans, rose up with firearms against tyrants and threw them off these shores. Ever since, the story has inspired people all around the world. And the first thing the tyrants do is to round up all the guns, so that the government has a monopoly on the tools of violence. I'm really skeptical of the proposition that we are all safer, more free, and happier, when only people with badges have the guns. I think that invites tyranny. I don't think that anyone is safer when the basic means of self-defense that evens the playing field with criminals is taken away from peaceable citizens. I don't think it makes for a reduction in crime for bad people to know with reasonable surety that potential victims are unarmed.

I live in the last American jurisdiction that makes it always illegal for an ordinary citizen to go about armed, in fact it's a felony carrying 1-3 years in prison. Illinois. The other day, the Seventh Circuit declared the law unconstitutional and stayed the mandate for 180 days to give the legislature time to regulate our right to self defense. 180 days from now, I'll be one of the first in line for whatever permit may be required. Sanity finally comes to Illinois.

lol, the guns are gonna grow legs and come and get you... better hide under your bed...

fitty .........:BangBang: :ak47:

Pro gun has nothing to do with this.

Lets assume guns are illegal, ok? That does not mean they are not available on the black market. So anyone wanting to preform pre-mediated murder just has to buy a gun illegally and do whatever they want with it. It's that simple and that sad.

.

Yes they bought them legally because that is their right protected by the constitution. They don't have the right, however, to use the gun to randomly murder people, we have things against that called "laws." If you break those laws you will go to prison for a very long time or maybe even die.

Ban illegal usage of guns!

Oh wait, we've already done that. Okay ban pitchforks! I knew a guy a few decades back who skewered his girlfriend to death with one. Something about her not coming home from work on time or something.

No pitchforks!

I'm with you XXXLAW.
The 2nd amendment ain't about duck hunting............... It's about freedom from tyranny!!!

WHAT PART OF THIS IS UP FOR INTERPRETATION?
"the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed."

Kane slew Abel with an unregistered rock. >;-))

Says the atheist of the crew. hahahahahahaha.
But you get the point.

:BangBang:

Any idea WHAT was the reason that made THAT guy shoot?

We could write a 1,000 page thread about the possibilities of what causes it...

This needs posting every now and again.

"An armed man is a citizen. An unarmed man is a subject."

That's easy, he owned a gun, so he was like "hmm, what can I do with this gun? I know, lets go shoot up a kindergarten classroom."

Clearly we need to ban guns.

Didn't the shooter know that this was a gun free school zone?

Looks like that law really works.

You know what would have worked? The teachers should have all been packing and they would have blown him away before he killed all those kids.

Yea, guns have a magic power, they start talking to people telepathically and tell them to do things... we must destroy the evil race of guns before it takes over our civilization...

not going to be long till it's demanded.. how many school shootings?

Why is it the majority of these mass shootings happen in the United States? Don't flame me, I'm just asking a valid question.

you mean that make the media. take a trip to south america and sit and watch tv it will open your eyes. you are in our region so you get local news.

Perhaps the prevalence of mind bending anti depressant drugs her in the US. This is just the terrible cost of having a society that is allowed to be armed. Can't legislate our way out of homicidal crazy people doing homicidal crazy things.

good point

I understand you're old and stupid old man. Did you see the part where I said "majority". Understand?

I second that and it made me LOL.

It's because there's way more people in the US than most other countries, not to mention very rarely do we hear about news from other countries.

Clearly we need to ban citizenship.

Gun violence happens all around the world, not just in the United States. You should see what's been going on in Africa lately...

This has Mk-Ultra written all over it... Too convenient. Right when concealed carry ban is lifted in Illinois :2 cents:

Clearly the only solution is to ban Africa.
