Driving while on a cellphone is banned. Why do you have such contempt for public safety?

@'She must have met the criteria. Assault rifles are heavily regulated already.
You'll always have guns and you'll always have lunatics, but you can round up
lunatics a lot easier than you can round up guns. A better system of psychiatric care strikes me as much more doable than
amending the Constitution and trying to take people's guns away.'

And who will pay for this psych care system? The gun owners?

Nobody has answered as to why people need military weapons.

'maybe ban scissors and knifes too while your at it. ' nice slippery slope arguement - but your reading skills seem to have left you without the knowledge of a knife attack in China at the same time - Death toll 0.

Your logic is flawed is you can equate the two.

@putin: 'Most of these attacks occur with legal guns, stop with the smokescreens. It is insane that people can own military weapons.'

Not insane, a militant culture. Sure thst is what America has, why i'm never going back; and why you are not interested in raising kids there.

And with all the people who dislike the cultural values not being there the US of A will continue to hold this militancy a virtue.

Putin displays his *mad* ignorance of firearms. Ever pick up a hunting rifle or a shotgun? Hunting rifles are *sniper rifles*, moron, and a decent shotgun that can bring down an elk....you ain't gonna survive it's blast.

As for "military weapons"....Please, the AR-15, for example, is a "military weapon"? Not...it is a rifle that is derived from a military weapon, but it is not a military weapon, any more than a street legal Corvette is a "race car", even though modified version of the Corvette are.

Your an ignorant fuck. And for that matter, why the hell *shouldn't* I own a "military weapon" if I am a law-abiding citizen that wants to go the shooting range and compete in shooting competition with my military grade weapon? Why? Becaus "it's dangerous?"?

Hmmm...Dangerous....300 pound kids smashing in to each other on a football field...it kills a few every year. I guess we should ban the dangerous sport of football, because sometimes people die.

Any car that drives over 65 miles per hour....there is *NO* use for a car to go that fast, and with modern electronics, there is absolutely no reason a car should be able to go over 65. Further, the Fed's should mandate automoatic braking systems, lane-change warning devices that prohibit the car from hitting other cars, etc. It would cost a hell of a lot of money, put the technology exists NOW....why don't we do it? Oh...because car crashes are boring...they only kill one at a time...no bid deal...

Why do we sell alcohol in massive quantities, which kills people by the thousands every year?

For the environmental whackoos out there, fossil fuels shouldn't be "cut back", they should be outright **banned** immediately if they are killing the planet, etc....but...well...we SAY we are killing the earth, but, you know, taking the dramatic action that is "needed" is, well, actually kind of inconvenient and it would take a long time to deal with the changes...so, you know...we hate fossil fuels but, you know...

Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah. Gun deaths are miniscule in comparison to the myriad of ways in which people die from preventable means in a proper police state. But you all fall for the sucker play, the media hype and jump on the band wagon. Laughable, at best....especially since ALL of you will not say a word about banning guns a week from now when new cycle has moved on and it ceases to become the fashionable cause-of-the day.

Bah....

lol so much for smokescreens. leftists using a tragedy to enforce their leftist views.

The only reason to own a gun, is to kill somebody.

I don't care what your reasons for killing that person is.

Too much George Zimmerman potential.

Expect Chuck Heston to appear at a Connecticut NRA rally in a few weeks.

Heston is dead.

And you can't comprehend any reason why someone might need a weapon to protect themselves?

"Too much George Zimmerman potential. "
lmao
i guess a knife has too much Chengping potential

Sure I can, but the police exist for a reason. Call them.

statists detected. oh so police are allowed to kill people with guns, but you aren't?

That's such a naive response I don't know what to say.

That's right.

Gun deaths are not miniscule. Now the selfish gun cultists have to lie to defend their selfish hobbies.

"oh so police are allowed to kill people with guns, but you aren't?"

Wow.

Why shouldnt people go 100 MPH in a school zone. Because it leads to needless deaths. But you only care about the lived of embryos.

In a population of over 300 million, there were less than 12,000 deaths by gun homicide. That's not zero, but it's also not significant.

Look. I'm going to try to simplify this for you American mouth breathers. Imagine that NOBODY but the police in the Excited States had handguns.

Better or worse?

Worse.

And absolutely unrealistic.

worse

Thats not deaths, thats homicides. Nice bait and switch.

And per capita, we are #12 in the world.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_firearm-related_death_rate

Why worse?

Difficult, not unrealistic(for civilized people)

There are 300000 violent crimes with guns per year. To gun nutters, thats miniscule.

If everyone was civilized, we could all have guns and be perfectly safe. Seriously, you people can't deal with the world as it really is, can you?

Gun fanatics appeal to human laziness. Oh its hard.

In the real world dangerous weapons arent worshipped as a divine right.
