Do we send financial aid to your first world country? You are lucky. I live in a country where they have home invasions. The invaders love it when the homeowners are unarmed. |

Baseball bats are used for baseball. Cars are used for transportation. Spoons are used to eat with. Firearms are used to kill. You can argue some firearms are used for hunting. But not hand guns. And not the Bushmaster this kid had today. |

I dont think they should ban guns. I think it should be a little harder to buy assault weapons and body armor.

Americans are killing themselves and when someone in another country tries to give a damn, that's the default reaction? Sad, very sad. |

Interesting statistics here:
http://www.infoplease.com/ipa/A0004888.html I would have never guessed that out of 14,299 murder victims in 2008, 34% were killed by something other than a gun. Now, if guns were not legal, you must assume that this number would go up correct? |

Again, prohibition and the treatment of alcohol in early part of the last century is the best example when thinking about today's times and guns. You simply cannot ban firearms, the cat is already out the bag. Just regulate in a pragmatic and reasonably way.
Connecticut has some of the toughest gun laws in the country. Guess what? This tragedy STILL happened. Newton looks like something out of the Stepford Wives. If it can happen there, it can happy anywhere. I prefer to not be a victim, thus the reason I have a conceal carry license and carry quite often, especially malls, parks (if allowed) and metro areas. |

You either sell guns or you don't, you can't be expected to thoroughly interrogate a customer and always be suspicious of their intentions. That's what we have things like background checks for anyways... |

Guess its time to ban cars. Or how about LEGAL prescription drugs. Which surpasses even illegal drugs. Guess its time to ban prescriptions. Gimme a break. ONE guy does something, suddenly we ban every one else? If that's the case then pens should be banned, because Al Capone once stabbed some one with one. Logic. Use it, for once. |

Problem here is, I believe they said he took his Mom's weapons. I am not sure if very many of these things were quickly decided. You can buy say 100 rounds a week, and so on. In this case it "APPEARS" he only used the hand guns which he would of had to have only 3 to 5 clips for each hand gun if it held 12-15 rounds each. |

Different scenario though.. Aussies never came in the pants about guns.. I grew up firing them went I visited my grandads farm. But you never saw them around in towns.. it was weird for someone to have one.. If you had issues you fought someone like a man.. We never really lived in fear of being broken into or whatever and don't really give a shit about criminals shooting criminals which happens pretty rarely. Also we have a good public health system.. don't have a fraction of the crazies running around the streets like in the US. |

That said America is a different situation. The gun buyback and ban would probably not work there. You guys probably just need better background checks and so on. I know someone here that got put on a 5 year gun license ban because they threatened someone. Hard to police a lot of this stuff though - most of these kids use their parent's guns.. forcing family members of kids on prescription drugs or with mental issues to have tougher licensing or storage restrictions is going to infringe on their rights. |

We currently have an alcohol (or drug) induced violence problem. The last random act of violence we got up in arms about here was a guy that went on a "rampage" late one night in a party district and punched four different people, one of whom fell over hit their head and died. No offence but I'd much rather live in a society where we worry about spree punchers. |

They should be banned. They are weapons of war. Nobody hunts with an assault rifle. Nobody needs one to stop a home invasion. They are designed to kill people en mass - that's it. Rapid fire guns are what the psychos use in these mass killings. Outlaw the sale of them. If the gun nuts don't like it, tough shit. We have a right to live without weekly massacres. http://www.summitdaily.com/apps/pbcs...w=300&MaxH=300 |

The US Army defines assault rifles as "short, compact, selective-fire weapons that fire a cartridge intermediate in power between submachinegun and rifle cartridges." I cant remember any of the public shooting in the past 10 years or so where anyone used a fully automatic rifle or machine gun. Actually I cant remember any in my lifetime. But the media uses the term assault rifle incorrectly to promote sensationalism and fear, because most people are too ignorant to know otherwise, and you can see that it works just from reading a lot of the posts in the thread. |
The solution is obvious. Nobody ever went on a massive killing spree at a gun show and it seems like every time this occurs it is at a school. CLEARLY schools are the problem not guns. We need to ban schools.
