Another school shooting

[MakeItRain]

What happened to people answering SD's question about the best things that have happened to someone you know because of guns, and the worse things? Would love for the "don't change anything about gun laws" people to answer those.

Best:  I go on a hunting trip every year with people our family has been going with for 53 years.  It is a great time, and has fostered long lasting and meaningful friendships.  I enjoy killing pheasant.  This could probably be replaced with another activity though.

Worst:  Friend was help up and robbed at gunpoint

not feasible or prudent to take your pheasant hunts away

nothing good or bad has happened to anyone i know because of guns.

This.  not including a relative who was pretty traumatized after serving in the middle east.

did ur relative find those weapons of mass destruction they were lookin for??? Oh so tht means he is suffering for what? Corporations.

Don't be an bad person. 

They were there to basically do police work and Iraq and then in Egypt.  Neither of which I agree with.

Good - I hit 25 straight clays when I was 13 and got a patch that I still have.

Bad - nothing that I can think of, but I have had 2 good friends die in car accidents.

Nice non sequitur, and nice round of trap.  Grats!

I have a friend who was robbed by someone with a gun and a friend's dad who shot himself with a gun.

we should definitely make it illegal to rob people with guns, but i think your friend's dad should be allowed to shoot himself if he wants to.

oh crap

[michigancat]

Would you be in favor of reducing gun restrictions? Make it easier to buy a gun, and make it legal for citizens to have fully automatic weapons without restrictions?

Why or why not?

michigancat, i don't really care one way or the other.  but sure, people should be able to do whatever they want as long as it doesn't harm someone else.

i mean, i already said people should be allowed to possess bombs, do you really need to ask about automatic weapons?

It seems like you do care.

Ugh... didn't follow much of the news coverage but I just saw they were reporting the guy's brother as the or one of the killers.  That is just sick and sad.  I hope he gets millions in defamation suits.  Not because he deserves the money, but because the people who reported it deserve to lose it.

This thread is a microcosm of why the anti-gun nuts are losing, badly.

What a bunch of diluted self righteous unreasonable douche bags.

Literally not one single persuasive or even remotely reasoned argument.  Wow, if you losers want to live in a police state I encourage you to try North Korea.

Nobody is losing badly.  Gun change doesn't happen because the status quo is people can have guns.  Same reason abortion hasn't changed.  If either policy was the opposite, it wouldn't change either.  Its too close to a 50/50 split with hardcore idealists on both sides.

My grandpa used to bring down trees by digging a post hole near said tree.  Then pack the post hole with correct amount of fertilizer and diesel fuel.  Then used an acetylene bomb to set it off.  One time the tree flew about 20 ft in the air.  You can also dig ponds using the same method.

Here's an excellent example of diluted. 


Ironic that "Chi Cat", presumably a person who lives in arguably the most violent City in America, a City with some of the most draconian guns laws, thinks that the anti-gun people exist in parity with the rest of the sane populous.  The anti-gun advocates don't have a leg to stand on. Their ideas have been beta tested and proven as moronic as they sound.

Why don't you racists go live in your homogeneous police state and let the rest of us live free.

looks like a young white man afraid of a changing world and overcompensating with guns and violence.

I think FSD is campaigning for tougher gun laws in Norway.

Was walking through a bad part of town once, some dudes were sizeing me up from accross the street, heard one of them say to another " Wanna roll him"  After I heard this I stuck my hand in my coat pocket and made my finger poke at the fabric like I had a gun, dudes hollered "he's got a gat!" and took off.

You must slobber or something when you talk if you think that's a homophone.

I can only assume that the point of this post is that we don't need guns?

[the KHAN!]

Jesus rough ridin' Christ, some goddamn psycho with a gun is going crazy damn near daily now.  Not one rough ridin' time has one of these psychos been taken down with someone who is carrying legally.  Such a stupid talking point.

eff guns, eff the second amendment.  I'm fed up, I've had enough of this bullshit.

STFU you rough ridin' Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercaz_HaRav_massacre

You know, maybe people who were carrying legally could stand a chance at stopping these events if...you know...they took place in areas where people could carry legally....you know...like not a school. Idiot.

ha ha ha ha, the best example you could find is something that happened in a war zone five years ago.  Even people who are on your side will concede that this doesn't advance your argument like at all.  LOL I win, keep sitting this out dumb ass

Israel in 2008 was not a war zone. rough ridin' idiot. Ignore the facts as always.

I was at an underworld economic summit last year and the question was posed to a crime ring leader " Why aren't you bringing in more criminals to help you burglarize more rich peoples homes"  Crime leader said that in todays enviroment with so many people being armed they have to be really selective in what homes they break into, it takes alot more research than it used to and that his ring has moved to some less dangerous criminal profit centers.

Hope this sheds some light on what is going on out in the trenches.
