or you could have killed and injured a shit load of other innocent people

 

You realy arent very bright, are you?

 

On Sunday there were two seperate car accidents that claimed the lives of fifteen and injured 14 others.

Guns were designed to kill. There are an estimated 250 to 300 million firearms in the U.S. in private ownership. As of this writing there are just over 196 million licensed drivers on the road...and cars were designed as transportation. Automobile accidents will kill roughly four times more people this year than guns will, including justified shootings and suicides. There are six million car accidents each year. More than three million people will be injured in car accidents this year and almost half of those will suffer some kind of permenant injury. There are twice as many guns designed to kill as there are cars designed for transportation and yet guns dont even come close to killing and injuring as many people as cars do....not even close.

If we realy want to save lives then its time to start looking at doing something that will realy work. And lets not forget the environmental impact of driving in addition to the death toll from accidents.

 

U S A, U S A

 

Guns clearly not out of control ! :-

 

The gun lobby are so on their back foot now, dizzy, almost sad to see them still throwing out more die in accidents .

Do those guys need and want them, like big trucks to compensate for something that's lacking ?

 

Only people who use your argument are 'lacking'.

Its a statistical fact. More die from Alcohol, car accidents, and heart attacks than guns. Or do you buy into the gun control lobby's statistics about how the entire country should be dead by now from guns?

 

No only an idiot would believe any such thing.

Guns don't kill people. People kill people. Sometimes with guns. And people with assault rifles and 100 round drums can kill a lot more people in one place at one time than just someone who has regular guns with limited round capacity.

And what you appear to be saying is you have an unlimited right to own and possess guns and high capacity clips and magazines, but no one else has a right to go to a movie and not get shot.

 

If half a dozen people (adults) in that theater were armed, they would have stopped him with a head shot before he killed very many, or maybe any.

 

OK I can follow your line of thought here but its not like we're not doing anything about the auto accidents is it.

Lets see we require divers to have a drivers license and insurance don't we? In some states they actually require people to take driving courses before they can get a license. And we make people register their automobiles every year don't we? Don't we also have programs like report every drunk driver immediately and even check points to stop drivers and make sure people aren't driving drunk?

So considering the number of deaths and injuries from guns why can't we do about the same things we are doing with automobiles to cut down on the number of deaths and injuries from auto accidents?

You know things like taking a test and having a license. Registering guns like we do cars. Making gun owners have liability insurance.

PS Can you drive a Formula 1 race car on the street? Can you buy a fully armed tank to drive around in?

 

From the bible. Matthew 10:34

"Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword."

 

Come on, they had to have something to cut the crusts off their fish butties

 

If you're going to magic a sandwich, why not magic one without the crust dammit !

 

Guns are not out of control, people are!

 

for those gun control advocates out there, this tragedy is one example of the type of outcome you can get with gun control. The law says noone is allowed to have a gun in a theatre, including concealed carry. Now because all the people in the theatre were responsible law abiding citizens, noone had a gun. Enter bad guy: no regard for the law, so he breaks it first by bringing firearms into the theatre full of people that are required by law to be defenseless, then he opens fire and everyone knows the result. I am a gun guy, and noone will change my mind, so don't bother trying. But, the key point here is that "gun control" was legally in effect in this situation. Make all the laws you want, but only the already responsible law abiding citizens will abide by them...they won't ever stop bad guys from being bad, thats the way it is, except it or not, its what you have got to live with.

 

Hell I won't try to change your mind I'll just point out its an incredibly weak one that doesn't know its bullshit from facts.

And for every single instance you can show me where a gun helped stop some alleged crime I'll show you far more where some fool shot himself in the ass and hit kids with bullet fragments in a walmart store. Or some loaded gun falling out of a kindergarteners pocket at school. Hundreds of accidental shootings and dozens of cases of someone shooting the wrong person.

 

Let's look at this aspect of it. The gun nuts contend they have a right to bear arms and there should be nothing to restrict them but Caleb Medley doesn't have a right to go to a movie without incurring a $2 million hospitable bill?

If nothing else if we required gun owners to have liability insurance on every gun they own there would be some way to pay for the funerals and hospital bills of their victims.
