another MAN with a GUN

another coward with a gun

women don't make the news DAILY shooting people, it's MEN with GUNS that do that.

and don't anyone come on this thread trying to say women use guns to kill people too. the % of women that do is minuscule. teeny tiny percent.

every day in america a MAN with a GUN in every state kills someone. every day a MAN in practically every County of america kills someone with a GUN. every day a MAN with a GUN in every large city, kills someone with a GUN

since men are unable to control themselves it should be a law that they can't own guns.

I'm sick and tired of MEN killing people with GUNS.

and for the nitwits that say every student needs to carry a gun to class - bite your stupid tongue.

8. I don't know - that's kind of inhumane
We could put them in camps or reservations where they could live as men are meant to do. According to TV that means lots of guns and raw meat.

2. don't overlook that its another asshole who thought he
ought to be able to control a woman. He killed her. He killed her current boyfriend. Then he discovered his power so much that he'd release it on the world.

Assholes kill women 10-50 times a day.
We are not property.
You don't get to tell us how to live.

Next asshole should just eat his own gun.

If I made a post like this, after the next time a woman murders her baby(ies), I'd be vilified.

39. Until you do how my friend do I protect my family from the right wing
Who has called with death wishes. Shot up my brothers house because we stand against them. Yes I have a weapon and I am a man. I hate it but it is the only way if my kids are in danger of being killed by these nut cases and they are out there like the Free Republic. Until you can ban guns some of us have to have them. I am trained very well in there use and would never pull it unless real danger is around my kids and me.

every day a MAN in practically every County of america kills someone with a GUN.

There's 83 countys in Michigan and 83 people aren't killed everyday. Not even 1/2, 1/4 or even an 1/8th. Not even 1%.

Guns are also effective opening car doors if you lock the keys inside. A warm barrel will also keep your toes toasty at night.

Is there anything a gun can't do?

19. The PERSON Was Sick
The person yesterday who killed all those people was obviously sick.

He was sick -- like the mother who drown her five children a few years ago in Texas.

Sick people -- both men and women -- do sick things.

It's not just a male thing.

49. Then Killing By Fire and Water Must Be a Female Thing
Patricia Kirby set a fire that killed 4 people.

Andrea Yates drown five of her own children.

Oh, and then there's Brenda Spencer. She came close to taking 11 lives when she shot her new semi-automatic .22 rifle into a school yard. At the time, she reportedly said that she'd started shooting for the fun of it, because she didn't like Mondays. "Mondays always get me down." She had done it to cheer herself up. She only killed two people -- the school janitor and the principal -- both of whom shielded the children that Brenda was trying to shoot (in order to "cheer herself up). Eight kids were wounded.

And of course you know about Sylvia Seegrist. She only killed three people and wounded eight. In 1985, Sylvia stared shooting at a mall near Philadelphia. She started shooting a random people. Including a two-year child. Who died.

Then there's Laurie Wasserman Dann. In 1988, Laurie set out to shoot and kill as many people as possible. During her deadly advance, she first drove to several homes where she had worked to deliver food laced with arsenic. She left her packages on the front porches and continued with her fatal errands. The next two stops were to start fires before she drove to Hubbard Woods Elementary School in Winnetka, Ill. Armed with a .357 Magnum, she entered the school, shot and missed a boy, and then went into a classroom. She started shooting, hitting six of the kids and killing her sole victim, an 8-year-old boy. No one tried to stop her as she left, got into her car, and drove to yet another location. Then she left her car and knocked on the door of a house where she was clearly a stranger. They said later that Dann had offered a story that she had been raped and had shot her rapist. They could see she was unstable, and one member of the family attempted to apprehend her as she forced her way inside. She shot and wounded him, then went to a room on the second floor. Locking herself in, she waited.

You're right, though, killing people with guns must be a male thing.

21. What a dumb fuck post
Another woman with irrational PMS taking out her dementia on all men everywhere.

Hope that sounds to your ears similar to how your dumb ass post sounds to mine.

Heres another another dumfuck woman letting her mouth run and then expecting her man to put himself in harms way to protect her from the consequences of her mouth.

That better?

The guy was a sick twisted bastard to be sure, blaming men is just friggin stupid though.

Multiple victims 63.1% 36.9% 93.5% 6.5%

Multiple offenders 85

According to this chart from the Burro of justice http://www.ojp.usdoj.gov/bjs/homicide/gender.htm 23% of all homicides are committed by women.

And just to drive the pms comment home. From the same source
Intimate 5.3 % 30.1 %
Spouse 3.2 18.4
Ex-spouse 0.2 1.4
Boyfriend/Girlfriend 1.9 10.3
Women seem to snap on their loved ones at an amazingly more prevalent rate. If that ain't pms well you explain it to me what causes that.

Take your man bashing somewhere else please its offensive and ignorant besides.

22. As a man, let me just say this....
when you're finished chewing on them, please give me my balls back. I have to return to work now.

Oh, and not to nit pick, but Cho was killing people without guns. If you don't hold Cho against me, I won't hold Lizzie Borden, Andrea Yates, and Ma Barker against you.

What a monumentally frivolous post.

34. and 21 yr. old men are so stable and mature especially after

drinking.

what with drinking being a big problem on campus.

and 21 yr. old men in lust/love are really stable and mature and wouldn't ever think of using a gun. sure.

54. In general, those who go throught the permit process to carry concealed take this
very seriously and don't commit crimes with their concealed firearm.

If adults are caught drinking with a gun and permit, they will lose their permit and firearm. Its a big incentive to not do so.

38. Because the OP has a valid point.
:shrug:

Gun culture is predominantly male. The cultural training to solve problems with violence is predominantly male.

Seems kind of obvious to me. :shrug:

42. Yeah you're right. It's totally valid to say all men have no self control.
Oh fuck me. I'm done with this piece of shit website. Every fucking issue that comes up turns into another god damned circular firing squad.

I'm sick of it.

Keep running off friends and supporters. Who needs community when it's more fun to tear each other down.

46. Logic 101
Just because "almost all shooters are men" does not mean "almost all men are shooters."

We can discuss the one without implying the other.

59. No, it's far from obvious
Here's how it actually works:

300 million people in the US
150 million men, 150 million women (numbers are estimates)
approx. 10,000 gun-related deaths
Even if 90% (9,000) of those deaths were by men, that would still only be 0.006%.

I just don't think it is realistic to say that men are thie problem when less than 1/100 OF A PERCENT OF THE POPULATION ARE AT FAULT.

Edited on Tue Apr-17-07 11:04 AM by maxsolomon
i'd feel much more secure if i knew the only people armed were women.

this kid was suffering, and rather than internalize it, he externalized it. why? why do men do that almost exclusively?

why don't women?

44. Your post does nothing to help anything
It is the most simplistic of logic and just a generalized attack on men.

47. The key missing word is KOREAN
Everyone knows that the race of man which is evil comes from ASIA. This was proved beyond a doubt in 1937 Nanking and had further proofs during Vietnam which is why our patriotic God-Filled White Men had to kill so many women and children over there...

If you want to bring it down into men vs. women dichotomy, then women aren't clean of blood on their hands either.

know that from watching teevee. You'd think it was all women.
