Dead on.
You're both idiots. Ever heard of gasoline? It's available in easy carry containers and is capable of creating mass casualty events with the flick of bic. It doesn't get much easier than that. No courage required.

OK. One last thought. There is NO LAW that could have prevented what happened last Friday. None, period. There are many things that we simply have no control over, like tornadoes and earthquakes. Why do we delude ourselves into thinking that government can do anything to prevent these events. We should face reality and move on.

The topic seemed to have devolved into "stopping power" and "tight groupings".

If guns are banned, then so should they be banned in this instance as well.
Did your mother ingest a lot of chemicals during her pregnancy with you, or did enter the world thinking you were joining a breath-holding contest?

No - I made the statement, because I knew it would upset you. Why? Because I know people like you are fart-smuggling hypocrites. See - if I would have said that about W, you wouldn't have said a word. It's truly bizarre how some of you liberals put your government on a fucking pedestal. Hitler had the Germans trained this way, and you people are essentially just as easily led.

Now you're super angry because I've established logic that will put you at odds with yourself. :grin:

That we don't need guns to protect the president because would be attackers won't have access to guns because they are illegal, just like the substances you would have to be on for that to make an ounce of sense.

But if we have gun laws and nobody has guns, there wouldn't be a threat! Right?

Things would be monumentally worse. Instead of the very occasional random killing we'd see daily killings. No one would even need to attack a school. The kids would be killing each other, the teachers would find themselves killing and being killed...it would become nearly a daily occurence in the news. Introduce guns to an inner city classroom and it'd be a fait accompli.
If people KNEW that there would be at least a good chance that at least a portion of the faculty is packing heat - they're not going to fuck with it.
You're missing the point. The violence would come from within, not from without. Stick that carrot right in everyone's face and someone's bound to bite.
You're a fucking moron. Texas has allowed teachers to carry since 2007. Ever heard about any disarmed teachers? No?

Then shut the fuck up.

I agree that having teachers walking around strapped in prolly a bad idea, particularly around bigger kids, but, they could have handguns in safes in their desk. Have a keypad on the front so that they could get them out with a 4 digit code. Make it so that 3 consecutive wrong keys locks it shut to keep the wanna be hackers away.

just a keypad and a cypher lock would do the trick. I suspect something as fancy as biometrics might not be as reliable and is certainly way more expensive.

But that's the point. If a particular law doesn't serve the function that it is written for, then why have it? If the gun laws do not stop gun violence or drug laws don't stop drug abuse, then why legislate them? Free people to use as they will. That is precisely the argument pro-drug use citizens are arguing for for marijuana, etc. The logic applies equally to gun control.

You can't expect any law to be 100% effective. Even if you banned all guns (and nobody is advocating that) there would still be a lot of guns out there. If you could regulate the sales of assault weapons and ban the use of large ammunition magazines they would still be out there too but there wouldn't be any additional ones hitting the street, and the numbers would decline over time. It wouldn't stop gun violence completely - that will never happen - but if this stuff were more difficult to obtain it might prevent some crazy fucking kid like Lanza from grabbing one out of his mother's house on impulse and going on a mass murder spree.

You want to deal in absolutes, but isn't there a value in decreasing gun violence? Speed limits and other traffic laws aren't 100% effective but they go a long way toward reducing fatalities on the roads. Would you be in favor of repealing all traffic laws so that people would be free to drive any way they want?

So which weapons would you ban, since you seem to think some are fine? Any semi-auto, which is the large majority of weapons shoots just like this one did? Should we bascially just go back to flintlock muzzleloaders as that is what the founding fathers were referencing? Clip size is only the slightest bit of a factor in a gun battle where one side can take advantage of the 3 seconds it takes the other to reload. In a room full of 6 year olds, it means jack shit. So, stop pretending that it is a gun type issue. It isn't.
