Fiction wrote:... Nobody is saying, "oh well life's a bitch"... TheDrop, you're being narrow minded, and emotional. You want to take guns away from millions of responsible gun owners, just because .00001% of legal gun owners go off the deep end.
The point I was making with the inner city crime, if a bunch of kids with no schooling can get a hold of a fully automatic AK47, how would banning semi-autos from non-criminals workout? Surely that white kid can find himself a gun easy enough, legal or illegal, to commit mass murder.
Also, I can tell you're just like penfold, don't have a clue about firearms other than playing FPS and reading headlines... You're scared of guns, because you've never actually been around them. You're being just as bad as a white person who hates black people, with your narrow minded BS and generalizing everyone as a redneck or hillbilly or whatever the hell your little imagination can think up to label people you disagree with...
Well, fist of all, stop calling me emotional, kind of makes you look like a cold hearted *. I'm sorry my response to seeing 5 year olds getting gunned down is to resort to thinking of solutions to solve the problem. Rather than just going "oh well, lifes a bitch", or even worse, cling to my guns and cry about being discriminated against.
Its funny that if any of these mass shootings were committed by an immigrant or a black person, conservatives would be going up in arms with their hate filled emotional response, rather than the supposed calm, logical approach they tried to take in this case (and gave up, after the Fuhrer Obama suggested any action).
Now about being scared about guns 'cause i have never been around one. Well my uncle was a police officer and we used to live together, so thats wrong; but that in nepal so it doesn't matter. But suggesting that only people who have use guns should have any say on the matter is stupid. we all know guns kill, we know what semi automatic means, and many of these public shootings (not those from gangs) are committed with legally purchased guns (usually including semi auto rifles). If these background checks on legal purchases were very hard, and buying gun criminally so easy, then these mass shooters would have just bought em illegal. (simple logic)
Now that theres a obvious difference between the killing power of guns vs. potatoes, these people think the 2nd amendment is there in order to oppose some kind of tyrant takeover.
First of all, you'd have to buy guns illegally anyways if there was some kind of government take over. +If you really think that your semi-automatic rifles and pistols would be able to stop the US military..
Which comes to the main point. I think that because the 2nd amendment is apparently there to oppose some kind of tyrant takeover of America, in order to save us from ourselves and our own military, ordinary citizens should have access to automatic rifles, RPGs, apache helicopters, aircraft carriers, et, while also getting military style training, to erm, keep ourselves safe from our own military.
I havent read the whole thread yet, but if anyone supported the NRA's idea of armed guards at every school, that should have probably ended the thread.
