O so much on the guns. Just the other day I was walking down the street minding my own business and suddenly a hand gun jumped out from the bushes and took a shot at me! And my neighbor was in his own backyard and attacked by a rifle! I'm telling you these guns are getting out of hand? Lock 'em all up and throw away the keys?
The killers? Well, it probably wasn't their fault in the first place. You know, one parent families, they got bullied in school, and they can't afford a cool car. Jeez - it's no wonder! They should be spoken to very firmly, I mean really let them know that we mean business and asked not to do it again.
Next problem!

Another Aurora-type shooting spree may have been prevented by Maryland police. Do you think we should focus on the killers or the guns?
Washington Post reports: "Authorities have taken a man into custody who referred to himself as “a joker” and threatened to shoot people at his former workplace in Prince George’s County, investigators said Friday."

Chicago has had 228 gun deaths this year, ALL from ILLEGALLY owned guns.
Secondly, if you choose to destroy all guns then someone somewhere will find a way to make one and then will be the most powerful person ever, because others do not have the power to stop them. Does it suck that a twisted psychotic a$$ has caused an uproar? Yes. Does it mean we should turn over our only weapon of self defense not only for each other but a self defense weapon for the government? No.

In that same year period, he has done this to three other businesses AND fired into an occupied dwelling. AT SOME POINT, a judge is going to HAVE to face the fact that she let a killer walk out.

Who do regulations apply too? Law-abiding citizens right.
Do they have any effect on the criminal element?
BTW, I have an AR-15 (semi-auto M16) which is a .223 cal rifle.
I also have an AK-47 semi-auto which is a .308 cal rifle
The AR-15 is more accurate at greater ranges, but the AK-47 has better stopping power.
And yes no matter what the morons on the news tell you they are great hunting rifles.
I mean think about it ~ if they can take down the smartest animal on the planet wouldn't they be excellent for the rest?

Leave me and the 2nd Amendment alone.
Prior to the passage of the 1968 gun control act events like Aurora did not occur.
Mental patients used to reside in state hospitals, and parents, and educators used to discipline children.
Latch key parenting is the problem. Kids at home without supervision who have no concept of self control because it hasn't been modeled or instilled by parents or the hand wringing liberal educators that are running (ruining) our public education.
Fact, the city with the most stringent control in the nation, this summer has had more shootings in one night than this mass casualty event.
Yes, we should focus on the "killer", but I also believe we need to get back to focus on values and morality in the family and in our schools. Our kids need to again understand the "board of education" is a piece of wood in the vice principal's office, and not a ground of people.
There are already enough laws on the books in regards to firearms. Enforce them. But do not further tie the hands of law-abiding Americans who want nothing more than to make sure they have the means to protect themselves and their families.
