I used the mcveigh argument on my "ho-lee jesus" thread. as well as the "without guns he would have just bombed the scool instead" argument

lets add that you can still buy plane tickets and how many people died sept 11th? enough to dwarf the 168 mcveigh killed, and costing less dollars than a ryder truck full of ANFO cost mcveigh.

the shooter was 20 years old, and would have easily been able to buy a plane ticket on his own, whether or not he could have bought guns, he used guns that were never sold to him anyway. so these proposed restrictions wouldn't have prevented it

none of these proposed restrictions would have saved any lives in this situation. his mom (who legally bought, and owned them) would have needed to have secured her firearms better in her home (which no law would be able to change that situation)

the real issue here is mental illness.

I have not advocated for gun control, simply stating that comparing guns to swimming pools is not going to convince anybody that guns are safe. We have to be able to understand the opponent, and arguing swimming pools does not persuade anybody.
I am a firm believer in self defense. I do not leave my house without a weapon on my hip, nor does my wife.

To deny that guns are dangerous is asinine. They are the tool of choice when ever possible. SO it would seem that the logical answer is to make it impossible. But we have seen that this is not an effective solution. We need to have a better solution, and be active in sharing it. Simply crying foul about gun control myths is not going to keep the gun control folks from attacking.

Statistics show gun control is effective. Statistics show gun control is not effective. Statistics show guns are the number 1 tool of violent crimes. Statistics show guns are only used in 12% of violent crimes. Statistics can be made to show whatever they want, without much trouble.

Legislation solves nothing. Prohibition? Meth? Drugs? underage drinking? I'm pretty sure it is already illegal to kill people.

We need a better solution, and the only way to find a solution is to find the real cause.

I will be getting me a gun very soon for this reason. I plan on hopefully getting my concealed, and carrying.

Rather get one now before the real restrictions kick in

i went into Sportsman's Warehouse, Scheels, and Cabela's on saturday to do some christmas shopping, they had like 8 people working the gun counters and there were still lines all the way through aisles of people with the same thought

The real issue is liberals do a poor job raising the children they choose not to abort. Liberals and guns: stop the madness.

Has anyone stopped by the local gun shops this week to see how their stock is holding up? Seems people are panic buying everywhere in preparations of an AWB

So slightly off the topic, but I noticed today that my place of employment has now blocked all websites that seem to have meta data containing things such as, "Guns, Glock, Ruger, Rifle, Bullets", ect. That was not the case just a week ago. Lameness abound it would appear.
I'm probably going to be called into HR for searching for a Ruger .44 Carbine.
