1. Wow, because it's succinct, that has a HUGE bullshit score on my blogjunkchecker.

[NCTraveler]

2. It is sick that your mind works this way.

I can't imagine sitting at home and thinking this up. I truly hope you are not armed.

[dsc]

3. isn't that what we do now

only without the lottery?

[NCTraveler]

6. No. Not even close. See my previous post. nt.

[dsc]

9. really we didn't just have 20 six year olds mowed down on Dec 14

I could swear we did.

[NCTraveler]

15. I am guessing you are PUI.

See my first post. Have fun with your flamebait.

[dsc]

18. we will have another massacre

a group of people think that is perfectly OK if avoiding one means any infringement on their pleasure. I think if they feel that way they should put their child where their mouth is. They seem perfectly fine to put everyone else's child where there mouth is.

4. Why should some random...

... 6 year old pay with their life for adult gun culture's mental illness?

[dsc]

5. isn't that what is happening now?

[99Forever]

12. Yes.

And it's evil and wrong.

How does doing something equally evil and wrong help end it?

[dsc]

14. again, how is this different from what we are doing now

we know this will happen again, yet a significant number of people are saying let it happen,

[99Forever]

20. I didn't say it was different.

I said both are evil and wrong. Nor did I say or ever even think that we should "let it happen." Not even close. Perhaps you should try reading for meaning. The idea in the OP strikes me as the product of a very sick mind.

[dsc]

24. again it is no different from what we are doing now

[99Forever]

26. Again?

Flame away, bud, I'm done with you.

Have fun under the bridge.

[Aristus]

7. Exactly,

but it's what's happening right now, every day...

[Sharpie]

8. Should we have lotteries for people...

... With pools, cars, household chemicals and stairs?

This is sick...

[dsc]

10. we regulate those things

[hack89]

11. So you want to double the number of dead kids?

ok nt

[dsc]

13. actually we would just have the shooter who was going to shoot kids

shoot these kids.

[hack89]

16. So we can identify mass killers but we can't stop them? ok nt

[dsc]

22. use craigs list mass shooter wanted we will supply the kids

[hack89]

32. Why don't you shoot them?

why not do your own dirty work? You have just professed your willingness to sacrifice young children - afraid to take the next step?

[dsc]

34. I am not the one saying we can't change gun laws

[hack89]

37. Neither am I. nt

[MineralMan]

17. I'm concerned about the fact that you could come up with that.

Even as a satirical suggestion. Truly.

[dsc]

19. again in what way is this different from what we are doing now

[MineralMan]

21. I hope you know the answer to that question.

I truly do.

[dsc]

23. we know a massacre will occur

we refuse to do a god damned thing about it. go ahead tell me how different this is.

[MineralMan]

25. Sorry. I'm not continuing any further with this

discussion with you. Bye, now.

[Nuclear Unicorn]

27. And if you don't support alcohol/drug control

your mother gets punched out, your children are mangled in a car accident and your sister is sexually assaulted at college.

I haven't seen much dumber than this but I suppose the day is young.

[dsc]

28. gee funny how upset we get when we actually see what it is the gun nuts are saying

Let's be blunt here. There is abundant evidence that getting rid of guns which shoot bullets as fast as guns used in these massacres do, greatly reduces the number of such massacres. Both the UK and Australia had one massacre too many and decided to do something about it. Since then, no such massacres. Yet they say, do nothing. Funny how if we spell out what they really want to do people go ape shit. The only difference between my plan and theirs is that theirs makes all children pay while mine would only make theirs.

[HereSince1628]

31. You seriously misrepresented your own thoughts if that is what you think the op stated.

Killing people's kids as a mechanism to evoke empathy for your politics is not a winning tactic.

Frankly it promotes a position that is really quite perverse.

[dsc]

33. the gun nuts are saying exactly the same thing

I wouldn't want to own it if I were them but it is what they say.

[HereSince1628]

35. I can't say they do or don't. Your OP said NOTHING about representing THEIR position.

It came off as your own.

You might want to think about what went wrong there and avoid it in the future.

[Fla_Democrat]

29. You do know that

The Hunger Games was just a book (and made into a movie).... right? Would you wish to televise it, as so many are calling for pictures of dead kids* to be released?

*GGP

[dsc]

30. I am one who did call and still does call for the release of the photos

sadly, as we can see from the utter lack of the Senate doing shit, it will take that to get this done.

[TheKentuckian]

36. You want a national child execution lottery?

Based on what you perceive as the sins of a proximate gun owning adult?

You think an extra massacre based on corruption of blood is the fix for the ones we already have?

Way beyond stupid and past sick.

[Lizzie Poppet]

38. That imp[lies (or fucking well SHOULD) some sort of substantive causal relationship...

...between general ownership of guns and those murders. That's a relationship that the pro-control side has spectacularly failed to demonstrate (unsurprising, given the tens of millions of gun owners and the astronomical rarity of "gun massacres&quot . Actually establish this implied culpability and you just might have a point. Until you do, this suggestion (made more as an appeal to emotion than as an actual serious proposal, I hope) is utter nonsense.
