    It has been reported that he was carrying a Ruger 10/22. Probably the most common hunting rifle in America.

    The reports I heard were that he had 2 handguns and the video seems to uphold this. If he got into a school with a hunting rifle and killed 32 people, he must have been training for years.

    and if i show up to negotiations in an M-1 it will certainly show them i dont fuck around.

    No, it will simply show that the word "negotiation" has no meaning to you.

    10/22's are small.

    Analogy fits perfectly. Sorry!

    giving a geeky physics teacher a fucking handgun and expecting him to KILL someone he believes MIGHT have a gun DOES NOT equate to putting sprinklers in a school.. :rolleyes:

    holy fuck.. with that attitude its no surprise people in your country will continue killing each other
    oh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.

    We missed the boat on gun control a long time ago. Even if you outright banned guns now, there's millions and millions of them already. Sleep tight.

    I was reading a large majority of gun deaths are from suicides.

    Progress is not made by everyone joining some new fad,
    and reveling in it's loyalty. It's made by forming coalitions

    We in Australia had a massive gun buyback scheme 10 years ago. No, the gun ownership here at the time doesn't in anyway match the numbers in America, but hey, we did it here. It's a matter of political will.

    As I've pointed out in another thread, it was quite successful, too.

    All I see is another gun debate after yet another massacre in the US... people clamoring for their constitutional right to bear arms, saying that guns don't kill... this debate will go in circles and die down like all the others... until the next shooting..... with guns that are readily available and not deemed dangerous and deadly weapons...

    Oh ffs...

    A sprinkler system can not then fall into the wrong hands and be used for the very purpose it was designed to prevent, absolute stupidity... :rolleyes:

    Sorry for the go off.

    Anyway, this is what I was getting at. Protection from? Another with a gun? If somebody dosen't have access to a gun. When they break into your house it is either man vs man or a weapon that they have to get close to you to use against whatever you have. I have noticed that people aren't quite as tough or loud when they don't have a gun at their disposal.

    And yes I know you can't get rid of all the guns. Thanks.
    You've changed your place in this world!

    Cars kill a lot of people too. More than guns. Should we ban those too or is it not PC to ban cars like it would be guns?

    The UK doesn't have the 2nd amendment...wonder why this article was written?

    gun buyback will not work here in the US.

    we are a country founded on paranoia.
    live and let live...unless it violates the pearligious doctrine.

    Cars were designed specifically to kill people? hmm... and here I thought they were used for transportation :rolleyes:

    There we go... the car analogy again.... once again, can we reiterate that cars are made to transport people from one place to another.. that is their prime purpose.... guns are made to maim and kill.. that is their prime purpose... So let's stop these stupid comparisons....

    As I said.. going around in circles, same old, tired arguments...etc... :rolleyes:

    I take solace in the fact that a large number of gun owners use them to take their own lives (suicide). Evolution at it's finest...

    As someone who has had a family member commit suicide with a gun due to a shitty home life, I say go fuck yourself and your solace.
    He would have done it with or without a gun. I would expect something more than off the cuff comments like that on this message board.
    And you may see me today
    with an illegal smile
    it don't cost very much
    but it lasts a long while
    won't you please tell the man
    i didn't kill anyone
    i'm just tryin to have me some fun

    Humor's humor (even if it's a bad attempt), but if you are being serious that you find pleasure in people taking their own lives merely because they own a gun and you disagree with gun rights, this shows what a sick, SICK individual you are. I won't say anything what else I think of you because it would get me banned.

    If your political ideology fills you with that much anger and hatred, please get help.

    And no I'm not a gun owner, nor have I ever shot one in my life. This has nothing to do with me. The above is just the rantings of someone with a mental illness.
    Do you remember Rock & Roll Radio?
