The way I see it you're a moron. The only excuse for making such an idiotic argument would be an adolescent revenge fantasy. Guns kill people, more guns, more dead people. grow up.
<p>Here's a simple, truly elegant solution: just get rid of all the elementary school teachers and detail active duty National Guard to teach the kids. Unlike those wimpy teachers, Guardsmen would teach our kids the three R's and the indispensable S -- SHOOTING. That would save us taxpayers a bundle on teachers' salaries, and their unions have always been a pain in the ass anyway.</p>
<p>Seriously, you gun nuts are all just plain totally bat-shit crazy! </p>
<p>Please shoot responsibly. (Each other, that is.)</p>
"I'm not pro gun" Whatever else you may be you are certainly no great thinker. To ignore the proliferation of military weapons and large clips since the mid 60's in an attempt to blame gun violence on psychotropic drugs is a shallow, thoughtless enterprise.
Video games, movies,television,drugs,comic books, the emasculation of single white males, may all be problematic to some degree or other ( and have all been sighted recently as causing violence) but none of these cause gun violence. GUNS CAUSE GUN VIOLENCE.
More than 10,000 people die in the U.S. every year from gun violence and the direct cause is the wide availability of GUNS. The absurd argument that more guns will make us safer makes as much sense as the idea that more cigarettes will prevent lung cancer. It is an empty argument, absurd on its face and universally disproved by data.
Until we are willing to recognize that guns of all kinds are too easily available to anyone who wants them we cannot solve the problem, which is TOO DAMN MANY GUNS.
Any discussion of "underlying issues" merely deflects focus from the obvious cause/effect relationship between a the wholesale availability of guns and death.
I totally agree about irresponsible drivers and people who own guns. I have almost been hit by cars while walking across the steet several times because drivers cannot pay attention.
Besides, who needs 3 guns to protect yourself and defintiely not with 100 rounds! Who are you protecting yourself against??? Let's get real here people! If there were no guns at all there would be no mass killings. Get it???? We need stricter laws and background checks on everyone!!!! We need to do a better job with people who are mentally ill or have other issues so that these things won't happen on the average of every two weeks!
Also movies need to be responsible. I don't recall the movie that was out a month or more ago about two guys who were killers. How can we make these movies? Also video games that promote shooting and killing. Also all these violent TV shows. Perhaps all this overload of violence has desensitized our youth and make them feel it is okay to shoot people. Perhaps due to the shows, movies and games they no longer have empathy, sympathy or a conscience. Those that live in a fantasy world of their own also are susceptible to doing such heinous acts of violence. Get it NRA???
When we open the discussion about mental health and guns, it must include a chapter about a unique climate of fear and rage our commercial (in this case gun) culture finds lucrative to prey upon. The bluster of primal-instinct, with the dumb-down all-pictures NRA thinking to help make the power-point, is a sign of social failure to thrive gone viral, and public. An effective immune system fights parasites, it doesn't make them role-models. Throw out the tranquilizers and chemical lobotomy kits, then go find a bullet and bite it. For those who dream of an exciting retirement of aggression and violence in the State of Nature, I suggest they be given free airfare— one way, outbound. Don't forget to take all your guns with you.
