school shooting

[Matthew Currie]

Actually, if you take away guns, you get a lot less murders in general. Look at pretty much every other first world country in the world...

That may be so, but I have heard some fairly convincing arguments that it isn't as simple as that. There's a cultural aspect to it too, and not a lot of evidence that murders, including murders with guns, were more frequent when guns were permitted in some of those places. I can't remember the reference now, but I recall reading a study of British murder statistics comparing current rates to those when guns were entirely unregulated and carrying a pistol was relatively routine. Of course if you can't get your hands on a gun, you can't shoot anybody, but then again, here I sit in the "safest state of the union," where guns are unregulated, anybody can carry, and where the voters elected a socialist to congress in part because the hunters were pissed off when his republican opponent backed assault rifle legislation. It's a messy and complicated world.

Someone on here has, in their signature, the quote, "If guns kill people, can I blame misspelled words on my pencil?".
If they did away with pencils, don't you think people would just use another tool for spreading the written word?

That pretty much shoots down your theory.......:laugh3:

Well, it all depends on how you look at it. I think pencils should be banned as well, because misspellings are CRIMINAL. As well, a person could jam a pencil into another guy's neck thereby making pencils kill people too...

:dunno:

I think Canada kills people.

I think Canada kills people.

Technically, yes. But the US kills more...

People kill themselves too.

Should we be banned?

cisco kid was a friend of mine...

I believe 100% in death by beatings for those who kill others, and those who rape women and play with children!!

 

[Hellbent]

a gun can't kill someone on it's own....

That's putting it mildly.

 

[chelms27]

I don't think there is any reason to treat someone who commits such horrible crimes mildly. IMO, they should just get them over with so our taxes don't have to feed them for the rest of their lives.

 

[riverfever]

Oh no no...I'm in FULL agreement with you. Actually...I tend to think the consequences should be far worse than eye for an eye. I just didn't want to get vulger is all.

 

[chelms27]

oh good, I am glad you agree and your not a flaming liberal, I would like to get a lot more vulger, but then you would all think I am a physco myself. Some things I just need to keep to myself, good luck finding an FJ.

so what happens when you kill or beat to death the wrong guy. Lets say the guy who really did get consent from a girl and then she lied about it. Or the guy who just was in the wrong place at the wrong time and got convicted of murder or something. And don't act like it doesn't happen...it happens all the time. I think a lot of you super nazi's should take a look at yourself to see who is the one with the real issues. Lets just cut peoples hands off for stealing and do public executions like the arabs do to people who don't conform to your norms. Freaking right wing retards, theres too many I tell you. Not saying i'm anti punishment or Mr. liberal but i'm def not a jar head.

 

[goodburbon]

I'm not super nazi, but I do not understand why we don't let suicidal prisoners kill themselves.

 

[dzolcali]

same reason NC has God in the preamble...cause if you kill yourself you go to hell...plus it's cheaper to pay for you to live for 60 years instead of have a janitor clean up your brains one time and bury you.

Flat out untrue, I would bet anyone a million dollars I could lay one of my colts on table, locked cocked and loaded and it wont shoot ANYONE by itself, guaranteed....

Maybe even a chowder head?
