Madman Running Amok With Gun Du Jour [View all] MoonRiver May 2014 OP

lets wait for some facts to come out Duckhunter935 May 2014 #1

We know 7 people are dead at the hands of someone described as "severely mentally ill." MoonRiver May 2014 #6

and that would already be illegal Duckhunter935 May 2014 #10

The point is how easy it is for unhinged people to obtain weapons and go on killing sprees. MoonRiver May 2014 #14

and how would you prevent this Duckhunter935 May 2014 #18

I would make it much more difficult to obtain a gun. MoonRiver May 2014 #29

We always question and debate the motives of the latest killers, but the one inconvenient truth, FailureToCommunicate May 2014 #106

"grim drum beat of homicides" is going down. Eleanors38 May 2014 #116

So the gastly homicide rate numbers are trendin down somewhat? Well, then that makes it all fine. FailureToCommunicate May 2014 #125

No, the solution to both problems lies in fewer guns in fewer hands. FailureToCommunicate May 2014 #198

So what laws do you propose? hack89 May 2014 #203

"I support all proposed gun control laws with two exceptions -registration and an AWB." FailureToCommunicate May 2014 #209

Neither of which would have prevented this shooting. hack89 May 2014 #210

So what specific gun control laws would you pass? Nt hack89 May 2014 #208

As many as possible. Including making gun makers responsible for the ensuing carnage like FailureToCommunicate May 2014 #211

So asking for specific ideas = shutting down the conversation. hack89 May 2014 #212

No, it's the way you use that reply to counter any comments no matter their FailureToCommunicate May 2014 #215
