few more canisters of tear gas would do it.
DMC's arguments are comically stupid.
Cant PURPOSELY kill 13 people and injure 30 others in a mater of a couple of minutes with a SWIMMING POOL!!!

another incident that easily would have happened anyway if guns were illegal.
Could run away.
Cant outrun a bullet.
12 people dont get killed and 30 others injured by a psycho with a sword.
How do you expect us to take your arguments seriously if you don't include animated smiley faces?
I think that one or two is more acceptable than 13.
Sure they do, if he has a bomb in his pocket.
And banning responsible, law-abiding, SANE individuals from defending themselves would only make it easier for said thugs to carry out their de able acts....
btw, was this before or after the movie? Haven't seen it yet but this would be a pretty rock-solid review.
The irony...Don't you have an arsenal of weapons at you house?
Jessi was a friend of mine, in addition to a few other folks on this board. She was an awesome person and fully of life and vibrancy. No one deserves this when going to see a movie, especially not Jessi. The last text I got from her was her laughing hysterically. She'll be missed by a lot of people.
The rest of you insensitive assholes can go yourselves.
swords; just need some bear spray and a club to do some damage after teh guns are illegal.
This whole thread has turned into complete nonsense.
For me the no.1 problem I have with gun control is the possibility that it could deny law-abiding people their basic right to defend themselves and their family.
but lately something's changed, that ain't hard to define.
RIP
I am sorry for your loss scott. You brought the thread back to where it should be, I'll back away from this thread now so I don't feel tempted to be drawn back in.
My thoughts go out to all the victims and their families.
gun control doesn't take away anyone's right to defend themselves just perhaps not with automatic weapons.
Couldn't have been put any better.
Anyone that met her knew how she was one of those people that you'll always remember through out life.
Guns vs. bombs, swords, swimming pools (my favorite), cars etc.
1). Guns are easy to conceal. Cant kill a room of crowded people with a car. You could try to just ram through the walls but it probably wouldnt work. Likewise, couldnt really walk into a theater with a sword. Peeps would say "thats a sword".
2) Guns are a projectile, unlike a sword. Can kill from a safe distance. Dude last night killed 12 and injured 30 others and walked right out. If he tried that with a sword, he'd probably be tackled after his first swing.
3) Guns are an aimed projectile, so youre not likely to kill yourself shooting someone (as opposed to bomb).
4) Guns requires little to zero training. Dude at the gun shop will show you how to load and fire. No years of training needed (as was suggested with the sword). Unless you want to spend years training as a ninja, guns are the way to go.
5) Guns require zero assembly. They come pre-assembled. Dont need to teach yourself how to make them lethal (as opposed to FERTILIZER). Theyre made to be lethal.
6) Guns work. Bombs are messy and often dont work. Just ask underwear bomber, new years day bomber etc. Even Hitler survived a bomb being detonated in his bunker.
7) Guns allow error. You get one shot with a bomb. Probably one swing with a sword.
Kinda late to the party with this reply, but THIS THIS THIS.
If people want to own a gun, for interest or casual shooting or protection or whatever...fine. Let them get a hand gun, since it's apparently their American right based on amendments that were written a few hundred years ago.
There is absolutely no good reason for a civilian to have a semi-automatic rifle in their possession. We're not in a war-zone. You're not going to use that for hunting. There are no zombie apocalypses to deal with.
All it does is put more of these guns in the general public's hands, so that they can end up in the hands of psychos like this guy.
I'm sure this will draw the ire of several gun nuts, but it's just how I feel.
You apparently don't know anything about Class III weapons and how they are regulated.
Tell that to the underwear bomber.
We don't need gun control we just need to control these young angry white make punks..
Oh, yes, because that proves bombs don't detonate as designed. I keep forgetting
If I have a clean record I can buy what I need to defend myself and I don't need a weapon powerful enough to bring down an elephant.
