Almost all, if not all of theses mass shootings ThoughtCriminal Jan 2013 #5
every man a potential rapist, and law abiding until iiibbb Jan 2013 #15
Not every person is a potential mass shooter. Only gun owners. Robb Jan 2013 #48
Wrong. They take them from gun owners B2G Jan 2013 #53
Nine-tents of the law, buddy. Robb Jan 2013 #55
Bullshit. You stated that gun owners were responsible B2G Jan 2013 #57
I didn't say that. But I could, and be right. Robb Jan 2013 #59
My blood pressure is just fine, B2G Jan 2013 #60
Educate yourself. B2G Jan 2013 #62
If you are the legal gun owner, HockeyMom Jan 2013 #78
I agree. We live in a gun culture, and all of its enablers are complicit in these senseless deaths. Chorophyll Jan 2013 #6
just as much as Duckhunter935 Jan 2013 #9
We've had all of those things you just listed in our society for a very long time. Chorophyll Jan 2013 #11
I will thank you, been killing paper squares for 30 years Duckhunter935 Jan 2013 #16
don't try to reason with them Skittles Jan 2013 #37
We also have a thriving drug and alcohol culture hack89 Jan 2013 #75
There's no need to resort to insults, Hack89. Chorophyll Jan 2013 #91
So spreading the deaths out make them more acceptable? hack89 Jan 2013 #93
Don't deliberately miss my point; it's unbecoming and makes you look silly. Chorophyll Jan 2013 #94
So lets focus on the real "cultures" hack89 Jan 2013 #96

agreed to a point Duckhunter935 Jan 2013 #12
I want to respect gun owners' rights as much as possible. For that to happen, they need to patrice Jan 2013 #33
Why do gun sales spike when gun controllers speak iiibbb Jan 2013 #10

Whatever. Chorophyll Jan 2013 #25

this is someone who is proud of slaughtering DUCKS Skittles Jan 2013 #38
Yeah. I don't know why I'm bothering. Chorophyll Jan 2013 #44
I don't own a gun. I never have. I never will. Chorophyll Jan 2013 #23
well all you have to do Duckhunter935 Jan 2013 #18
Amendments have been repealed before. That pesky one doesn't make a lot of sense today. Chorophyll Jan 2013 #20
I wish you luck Duckhunter935 Jan 2013 #27
"more power to you"? Skittles Jan 2013 #39
I think he already has. nt Chorophyll Jan 2013 #45
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAH!! Zoeisright Jan 2013 #24

My car is registered and insured and I have to renew my driver's license on a regular basis. Chorophyll Jan 2013 #46

No. The person responsible killed himself. lynne Jan 2013 #50
It's easy to be a law abiding gun owner when there are loopholes. LiberalFighter Jan 2013 #52
Wow. Talk about barking up the wrong tree. geckosfeet Jan 2013 #54
Yep, she certainly was, as was the lack of real control, which allows unfettered access to such jmg257 Jan 2013 #61
Wow, you got the LEO's full report on Sandy Hook? B2G Jan 2013 #63
Why - is there some confusion on your part as to what went down? nt jmg257 Jan 2013 #64
Actually, a ton B2G Jan 2013 #65
Doesn't REALLY matter what HIS motive was now does it? As it pertains to this conversation? jmg257 Jan 2013 #67
Blaming the victim. Well done. B2G Jan 2013 #69
Waaaaa. We weren't talking about root cause. We were talking about how his Mom's guns jmg257 Jan 2013 #72
And it's just as possible B2G Jan 2013 #74
Yep - but he didn't did he? He got them from her with little trouble at all. jmg257 Jan 2013 #79
so you dont think WHY he did it... actslikeacarrot Jan 2013 #70
Not as it relates to this thread, which deals with responsibility in how he got the guns. jmg257 Jan 2013 #71
Adam Lanza basically stole his mother's guns and then shot her with them RZM Jan 2013 #66
Hmm...but he didn't steal someone else's guns did he? So who's guns did he steal? jmg257 Jan 2013 #68
Just not buying it RZM Jan 2013 #73
Maybe you should...she was murdered with HER OWN GUNS. jmg257 Jan 2013 #80
Drunk driving forthemiddle Jan 2013 #95
Whose guns were they? Was the possession of those guns forced upon the Mom? jmg257 Jan 2013 #97
Agreed. We'll never hear it, of course, but I would love to LibDemAlways Jan 2013 #85
"That she, too, became a victim is ironic." Isn't that the truth? jmg257 Jan 2013 #89
His mother was at fault. Rider3 Jan 2013 #76
Again, we don't know how those guns were accessed B2G Jan 2013 #77
BUT! Rider3 Jan 2013 #81
Yep - so just maybe NOT owning them would have turned out MUCH better for her, him jmg257 Jan 2013 #83
Do you really think that all guns B2G Jan 2013 #84
No - I don't think all guns are going to be banned. jmg257 Jan 2013 #86
If you cannot guarantee the security of your guns Robb Jan 2013 #92
Can you guarantee the saftey of your car? B2G Jan 2013 #98
Or death...depending which end of the barrel you are on. Unless of course there jmg257 Jan 2013 #99
True. And if we reduce the number of cars on the road B2G Jan 2013 #100
Agreed...except that traffic accident fataties don't surpass gun related deaths by much jmg257 Jan 2013 #101
61% of those deaths are due to suicide B2G Jan 2013 #102
Its actually talked about quite a bit. And only a very small percentage are accidents. jmg257 Jan 2013 #105
I can. Quite literally. Robb Jan 2013 #103
No. There is a difference B2G Jan 2013 #104
Yes, but if you won't even deign to take responsibility, why should we trust you? Robb Jan 2013 #106
You're juding gun owners to be irresponsible B2G Jan 2013 #107
Responsibility for your guns is some kind of unicorn for you. Robb Jan 2013 #108
