How many more mass shootings by young troubled men do we have to endure? The 2nd amendment is sacred and has been since the founding of the country, but is it time to put some safeguards in place so school kids and movie goers and college students aren't subjected to homicidal maniacs shooting them with all too available guns? Is it time to reform gun control laws?
HUFFINGTONPOST.COM reports:

HUFFINGTONPOST.COM reports:
New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg called on President Barack Obama and GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney Friday to detail their views to improve gun control in wake of the mass shooting at an Aurora, Colorado movie theater that left at least 12 dead and scores wounded. The suspected gunman, now identified as 24-year-old James Holmes, opened fire during a premier of "The Dark Knight Rises."

Other+84It's always time for gun control........Proper breathing, proper sight picture and alignment, proper trigger pull.. You know. Gun Control!






















USE BOTH HANDS!!!
You can have them when you pry them from my cold dead fingers!!!
The boy was a psycho!
They also shouldn't rob people, or murder, rape, assault people.
They shouldn't have meth, crack, heroine, etc either.
But for some strange reason no matter how many laws we pass banning those things, criminals still do them.
So I ask again, how does a law written on a piece of paper stop someone who breaks laws from doing anything?
Answer is it doesn't.
So anyone that believes a law banning guns would stop criminals from having guns is insane.
There isn't a country in the world where that has been the case, no matter what gun control laws they pass.
Banning guns doesn't work.
Just like banning drugs or alcohol doesn't.
So what is the answer?
I'd be all for it.
The issue is some people for whatever reason just can't understand anything but violence. The type of people that can't be deterred from doing whatever they want to do unless the deterring is done by someone able to hurt them more than they can hurt him.
Which is where that whole "Speak softly and carry a big stick" idea came from.
This punk spent over $14,000 and 6 months preparing for this attack.
It just feels more like a thrill killer or someone trying to become famous, than someone out to avenge some perceived insult to himself.
And I don't see how talking would have helped here.
The issue is how do you identify these people and get them the help they need in time?
I think Psychopath is a good bet if you're trying to guess his mental issues.
New York had 532 Murders up 13% if we go by the statistics below from the New York Police Department all we have to do is ban the following:
Ban Blacks and Hispanics who are male, who had prior arrest, that knew each other, who used or sold narcotics, who used guns while outdoors on a Saturday between the hours of 2 and 3am.
Bloomberg Prohibition doesn't work, it will create the biggest black market of weapons this country would ever see, which will lead to even more deaths and more crime, friggin idiot.
It is broken down like this
The statistical breakdown of murders in 2010 offered some interesting insights:
92 percent of murder victims last year were black or Hispanic, as were the suspects in their killings.
90 percent of all suspects were male; 83 percent of the victims were male.
81 percent of the suspects had prior arrests, as did 72 percent of the victims.
Investigators determined that most victims and suspects knew each other.
More than half of the suspects — as well as their victims — were tied to the use or sale of narcotics.
62 percent of the victims were shot.
64 percent of the killings occurred outdoors.
95 were on a Saturday, and 41 of those were between 2 and 3 a.m.
Another interesting thing here, write out the words whites, blacks and hispanics and then push spell check and see what happens.
Obama is already due for 50 to like due to the 2 SS#s that do not belong to him or do we not having laws for some special People????
Make sure everyone has a gun, and knows how to use it.
