#772oh this is good one, of all the excuses that dont make sense this one of the most creative ones
'we need guns to protect us from the police'
things are even worse than I thought in the ol US of A, here I thought I had to worry about the fact that any nut job can legaly own a gun
now I'm learning that I have to watch out cause the police is out to get me
how about this, why dont you just ban guns altogether, and just hire better people to be police officers? see I found you a solution alreadyComment -

#777Paco I have never had a gun nor do I need one. Then again I live in a safer area then you do. Maybe if americans never had that right to have guns they would not be in a crime infested situation.Comment -

#778ok you're right someone saying they should make drugs illegal makes sense
because you know drugs are legal and everything
notice how I am just making a statement about that point specifically not the post as a whole
as a whole I agree that banning guns will not eliminate them, but saying "they should make drugs illegal" is idiotic since they already are illegal
is that dumbed down enoughComment -

Clearly drugs are illegal you fuckin tool...the comment I made was a bit of sarcasm used as an example that banning something has almost no effect on those who truly want it getting it.
If you are hellbent to go on a killing spree you will not concern yourself with the illegal nature of getting a gun because its already highly illegal to go around killing ppl so laws are clearly not something you're too worried about breaking especially when you plan on blowing your brains out right after (thus you're not going to face the law anyway)Comment -

lol, LB dont' even waste your time bro.
at the end of the day, the people on here with guns in real life are socially awkward people, you know, the type of person that you know through your other friends that you think are weird as hell, and if you ever met the guy without being acquainted by your friend you would never associate yourself with. Because if you find the need to carry a gun, your life isn't headed the right way, or your mind isn't right. You buy a gun to make yourself feel good, but you probably could not shoot another man. And if anyone response saying they would, seriously go stfu, because if you have the balls to take another man's life with your stupid gun, you are just as mentally ill as this kid that just shot up these children. If you live in a dangerous neighborhood and honestly have a gun to protect yourself and don't boast about it on the internet, then at least you are being responsible, but the gun laws do need a change. I don't see a ban on guns happening because some people (people who own businesses in a high crime area, should be allowed a gun BUT it should only be stored at their business in a safe where if you open it it should also alert the police at the same time as well). All these pro gun people here will learn their lesson that guns are bad when they lose their own lives or their families because of guns.Comment -

I will say that assault rifles probably should be banned simply bc I dont understand their purpose, you cant hunt with them (beyond a 5 round magazine which makes it essentially just a rifle given such low capacity) and there is really no defensible reason (other than a dozen ppl breaking into your house at once) that you could justify owning one. Other than war there is really no use for an assault rifle other than just they are just "fun to shoot" at the range or at your local movie theaterComment -

#785hardly. you said "This is 2012", which implies you believe in today's modern age, totalarian governments can not exist. but in fact they do, and the 2nd amendment was put into place as a measure to prevent that from happening here.
i've never read someone as gung ho as you to relinquish all power to a government, a bought and paid for one at that. it's quite scary and you must inherently not like freedom.Comment -

#788Ok can we all agree on this? The gun was not responsible for the murders it was the person. That being said certain types of guns make it very easy for a quick mass shooting (Reports are it was only 8 minutes after he left his car he was dead) we can live without those guns and go hunting or feel protected without them. Those are the ones that lawmakers need to do something about. For people to stand up and try to protect those still being legal is pretty selfish.Comment -

#793The issue shouldn't be gun control. Anybody that is truly arguing gun control isn't thinking deeply enough. What has changed in society where these shootings are happening? When I was a teen, we used to keep our hunting rifles in our trucks (grew up in the country), and there was no issue with driving our trucks to school. Nobody went around shooting up schools. Why is it happening now? It's not because guns are available - guns have always been available.Comment -

My Dad told me when he went to university everyone brought their rifles and went hunting on weekends.
Different times for sure.Comment -

#796This is a very interesting article that I haven't stopped thinking about since reading it. Not sure many here have the time or desire, but if you get a few minutes, take a look if you can. I'm not sure what I'd do in her position but it reinforces my gut belief that the issue in the US is one of mental illness and the treatment and care one receives or not; not access to guns.

In the area I live now, you still see folks with guns in the vehicle. It never even crosses your mind that it could be used for anything other than hunting.Comment -

as someone in the mental health field, I like to talk deeply about why the US appears to have such a prevalence of mental health issues and I question what more we can do to further the treatment and care that people receive.
there are so simple answers that is for sure.
but situations like this seem to beg people to supply simple questionsComment -

nothing good can come from friday, period....but if it opens up discussion on treating mental illness then it would help prevent things like this occurring in the future....i agree that there are plenty of people who live with mental illness and the thought of doing what this deranged asshole did never crosses their mind...but all of those people still deserve better nonethelessComment -
