Gun Control Thread- Should we?

We have taken god out of school, told kids they have all the rights, breakdown of the American family, kids with no dads, teachers can't touch kids, etc, ect..... but thats just a bunch of right wing nuts.

The guns used in Newtown were stolen.
Evaulations and background checks arent goint to apply.
Crazy people do crazy things.

Agreed. If not a gun, then a baseball bat, a knife, a spoon.....

I am the first to admit that a high capacity magazine on a semi-automatic rifle gets the job done more efficiently.

He killed 20 seven year old children up close with a high capacity-powered rifle within a matter of minutes. He could have killed a whole lot more. These are children getting killed with military style weapon. These are not weapons of defense, these are weapons of offense whose purpose is to kill many and quickly. Killing has become a sport in this country. It is now a game where the next mass murderer tries to up the guy before him.


I can't get the image of young children in a corner, frozen, in-capable of understanding the situation getting rapidly peppered with 3 to 11 bullets. The look in their eyes, their little frail bodies reverberating.

Yep that's what I think, it's like a real life COD now, everyone using assault rifles, tear gas etc. It's a damn shame that anyone can get these weapons that easy IMO.

Maybe if we gave them some guns it would have been different....

Which mass murder stated that? How do you know that?
Hyperbole much?

Military style...really?
Please explain what that style is.

Purpose to kill?
How about a cowboy style .45 cal trick shooter?
The hole it can blow in a torso is less offensive to you maybe?

These guns have been around for a long time but these mass killings are something fairly new. Something other then the access to guns has changed and that's what needs to be fixed. I'm fine banning this type of gun but if someone else wants to do this again they will just find a different means.

Then you will need to ban most deer rifles too.

somewhat reasonable points up to this, not sure where you're going there
