You've got to love the Americans that defend guns. "We need guns to protect ourselves", if someone wants to kill you they will more than likely do it when you're in the street or a place where your gun can't help because you haven't got it on you.
Did the legal right to own guns help anyone in the cinema that got shot? This University? All it did was make it easier for some crazy fool to get guns.Last edited by Jam Jars; 08-14-2012, 09:03 AM.

People raise hell when guns are the weapon of choice, used by mentally unstable persons. But, never raise the same concern, when baseball bats, cars, hammers or even pencils are the weapon of choice.
What is the difference? The difference is the mental state of the person seeking to do harm and that element never gets addressed.
That is the issue here. Guns kill a hell of a lot more than any other weapon can because a bullet can travel so fast and far and there can be many of them.
Who exactly needs an AR15 or AK 47?
In the UK for example, the great nation I live on now, hand guns were banned since a school shooting where very young kids got killed.
You can get a shot gun with 3 shell capability by applying and being assessed by police for mental state etc...
To get 3+ shell shotgun or rifles, you need a valid reason like being a farmer or something.
As you can see, in 2011 only 51 murders were done with guns. More importantly, the mass shootings are minimal.

This University?
All it did was make it easier for some crazy fool to get guns.
As for the facts in this case, some nutjob (who lived near Texas A&M) quit his job 9 months ago and when they finally came to evict him, he shot and killed a constable and an innocent bystander. Before being shot and killed himself.

As usual it's the gunless foreigners talking **** about our gun rights.
It is no coincidence that most of these shooting happen at ******ed "gun free zones." Maybe we should change the name to "english zones" and hopefully they will stop.
