I actually can understand it. remember last year i said a coworker may go postal on us at work and last month he got batshit crazy onsite and is suspended til further review at this very moment. think about it our laws are reactionary not precautionary. you need proof a danger exist and the best way to bring a law is to wait for someone to get hurt.

The best way to have prevented this was to have prevented ANYONE from buying such a weapon. There is no valid reason for any civilian to have such a weapon.

Really?

For real really?

No.

You may feel this way very strongly, but there is no reason to think that this would actually work.

This message brought to you by reality based thinking.

It actually works in every country that bans these damned things.

There have been no such attacks in Spain, Portugal, Japan and many other countries.

This has been examined very thouroughly here and elesewhere.

Is there any reason, I mean reason not feeling, to consider this to be a true statement?

I think that people who want the result to show that gun bans have positive results , cherry pick the examples with abandon.

By cherry picking the opposite way I produce Germany in 1936, Mexico right now, China in 1960, etc...

My real point is that my examples and yours together might be something like a fair survey which strictly proves that the results of gun bans are not easily predictable.

Germany in 1936 was not a place noted for gun deaths. As I said, Mexico is a victim of US lax gun laws.

China in 1960? who was shooting whom there at that time?

The fact is that the US has more mass murders with these dangerous weapons than most other places by far.

The FACT also is that more lives are SAVED in this country, using a gun, than taken by them

The University of Colorado has hired a former federal prosecutor to probe its handling of a former graduate student accused of killing 12 people and wounding 58 in a shooting spree at a movie theater in a Denver suburb, the school said on Friday.

Robert Miller was retained to conduct an internal review of the university's dealings with accused gunman and former neuroscience graduate student James Holmes, the university said in a written statement.

Hahahahahahaha!

This is really great!

Germany in 1936 was not a place for civilian gun deaths. No one disputes the need for the police and military to be armed. In the case of the Nazis, the problem was the fact that those that were armed were misled.

.........by a tyranical Government, that made it largely illegal to own a firearm.......leaving pretty much the military and criminal elements having fireams.  Starting to grasp the point of the 2nd amendment yet?  Here's a hint, it has prescious little to do with hunting, outside of what some criminals might be planning
