Gun Control?

[JustAlex]

Agreed but then what will your arguement be if another horrible act happens and it was an illegal assault weapon?? I agree that assault weapons should not be sold but this act would have still happened WITHOUT THE ASSAULT WEAPON.This Lanza is a sick piece of crap he was going to do this horrible act with or without the rifle.It does not matter how many would have been killed with just a handgun the bottom line is 1 death is too much

I personally believe that it is impossible to prevent massacres altogether...

However, we can at least try to decrease the number of casualties in these horrific incidents.

It's better than doing nothing......and we've been doing NOTHING every time this happens.

Well said Monsterx like stated earlier everyone is an uproar right now.Step back and research these terrible acts and see that it is not always and illegal military weapon that does this

There's no need to be condescending Alex. No it's not hard to understand your point, it's actually very basic.

The VT shooter used 2 handguns and has more dead under his belt. A greater time frame also though.

The dude in China just killed nearly as many kids with a knife.

Yeah why is it that some people get all hot and bothered over what happens to israel but some guy in China kills a bunch of kids with a knife and not one peep of it? Someone can can on a warpath with a knife and kill a bunch of people just as easy as a gun. Should we ban all knives?

Something needs to be done you are 100% correct.And maybe a tougher weapons law is needed.But please see that these horrific acts can still happen and even if they numbers decrease it still a matter of IT HAPPENED.We need to teach our people how to maybe deal with these situations

In society and business most problems stem from the top.Police,doctors,Mcdonalds,Wal Mart if there is a major problem is usually stems from the top.But i do understand your view thank you

What makes the police different is the level of power those at the top have. What I want to see is better trained police. Police who dont line up four wide and simultaniously taxes someone. I want police that have the ability to distrust me without letting me know. I hate being approached as a criminal until I prove otherwise. And if they're going to treat me that way, what's wrong with me distrusting them until they prove themselves? I don't have the power to arrest them or legally harass them they way they can me. I do my best to not show my distrust, which is a courtesy I do not get in return. I have no record, and I freely admit to meeting good cops out there. Heck, one of my best friends is an RCMP officer. I do not hate cops. What I hate is that I'm supposed to just trust them despite what they're capable of and what choice many of them make while they are perfectly well off treating me like a criminal off the bat.

Sorry, I didn't mean to.

Yes, that's the key here....he had much more time.

The dude in China just killed nearly as many kids with a knife.

From what I heard none of those kids died....here I have a news link:

^after all, it's a LOT harder to KILL people with a knife than simply pulling a trigger.

Looks like we need to ban assault rifles from the military too...

Alex -

I 100% understand what you're getting at here!!!

Police and government would love to disarm the populus. It gives them total control and leaves the citizens to rely on them for help.
