What do you suggest, letting the babies starve, since you want to cut out money to feed and cloth them?

You can't stop people from making stupid decisions, this is a free country and stupidity is perfectly legal.

"This is terrorism. I don't see how this is any different than the Taliban or Al Queda shooting or blowing up a gathering of people."

So, an ex felon was actually willing to ignore the gun control laws that ban him from possessing a firearm? I can't believe that a "career criminal" would be willing to do something like that!

I would bet the existing laws would still allow him to get a gun, esp. in SC, at any gun show in the state

You should have bet money, because you are correct. Background checks are not required on all purchases.

A moot argument...law abiding citizens lose access to guns by way of controls....law breakers do not.

**ejames01** · July-08-09, 02:55 PM

There is not an argument.

THe argument that these perpetrators would have been able to legally acquire the weapons under a lax gun control system.

how, exactly, do thinngs like mandatory background checks prevent law-abiding citizens from getting guns? how, exactly, does requiring the gun manufacturers to track their inventory prevent law-abiding citizens from getting guns? those guns in all the mexican drug wars? they are guns that "went missing" do to lax enforcement and lax policies towards armament makers

ccbatson · July-08-09, 03:08 PM

As they currently exist they don't...proposed changes would have this effect. That is my point.

The homicidal maniac at that health club would have been stymied by gun control? Dream on.

Is there mentally unblanced people on both the left and right that listen and take to heart what is being said or read something into it. I find it hard to believe that only the right has the mentally unbalanced listeners. How many listened to those on the left who said it is ok to murder your unborn baby? How many listened to those on the left that said any kind of sex is ok. Maybe it only seems the left doesn't have its share of Rushs, Hannitys, Becks, but somehow they have gotten their message out and it is destroying this country.

**Pam** · January-07-10, 11:56 AM

Yet another one.

Mental unbalance has nothing at all to do with what you mention.

First off, abortion is a woman's personal choice to make. There are plenty of people on the right and left that have had them. As for myself, I trend toward the left, feel abortion is wrong, but will defend the personal freedom of someone to have one.

Second, is the sex thing you mention. Unbelievable that you feel that the left have any monopoly on this. Totally unrealistic. Granted that the "left" may support the gay community more that the right, [[and by right I should say the religious fanatics) but to imply that the liberals have somehow corrupted society is just plain ignorant.

The views of the syndicated psychopaths that you mention are broadcast daily to those that choose to listen to it. I prefer to obtain my views from studying a situation and judging all sides, not the parroted views of those bozos. Or even a lot of the left's views for that matter. Judge for yourself, you will be far better off in the long run. And a lot happier, since the shit-stirrers that you mention won't be worrying you about NOTHING.

Another day, another middle aged gun owner shoots 8, kills 3:

Time to start profiling?

One guy on one day out of 300 million and 365 days per year. Hardly cause for mass witch hunts and public stonings.

Taking all the fun out of it as usual. Buzzkill.

A berserk gunwoman this time:

The following is from a 2008 article regarding a proposal that would have allowed trained professors and students to carry while on campus. Unfortunately, the bill went nowhere. Would it have prevented today's tragedy? Maybe, maybe not, but we'll never know.

"Alabama's public universities, like most colleges around the country, ban guns on campus.
Erwin's bills would have allowed professors with the proper gun permits to carry their weapons on public college campuses. The bills also would have allowed students to carry guns, provided they met a long lists of requirements, including having the proper permits, completing a gun skills course approved by the university, and participating in the campus' ROTC military training program.
Erwin said the bills were designed to discourage gunmen by making them aware someone could shoot back quickly."

a more recent berserk gunman of the week struck Kennesaw, GA, where each head of household is required to own and maintain a gun. As you may remember, despite being a Mecca for gunhuggers, there were no Clint Eastwoods present, and the guy simply killed a bunch of his coworkers.

As long as we're on the topic of what "might" had happened, imagine that the ammo used cost 500.00 per shot, due to a nuisance tax on ammunition that "could" be added to the cost of guns and ammo to create a compensation pool for innocent victims of gun violence.

The culprit "might" have had to go out and get a second job to save up the money for the gun and bullets, and as a result, "could" have been too tired to drive to work and shoot her coworkers..

**Zacha341** · February-13-10, 06:41 AM

Crazy people in general with guns kills people, otherwise what would explain the gun violence in Motown? Right-wingers hold up shooting up de' place, jackin' folks out of their car a gun point, etc. On the other hand Detroit also has a remaining population of law abiding democrat voting citizens [[non NRA card carriers) who own guns, who refuse to be victims in their own homes or elsewhere.
