    That wasn't the contention. The contention was banning of an object, not the mystical removal of all said objects from a location. Banning of guns doesn't accomplish the removal of guns.

    No, but it would make it harder for people to get a gun though wouldn't it?

    And he used the word mystical for a reason ... Such a thing isn't even possible.
  • wow, 6 pages already and no one mentioned HOW THE HELL THIS GUY GOT INTO THE SCHOOL?
    were there any security measures in place at this school?
    was the gunman an employee of the school system or did he just walk into the building?
    i'm not trying to be a smart ass, just wondering why this hasn't been mentioned

    Its because no one can focus on anything else but guns around here. Tunnel vision to the max. I am done with this thread.


    Good point, though.

    Isn't it ironic that in the wake of school shootings, instead of banning guns America decided to beef up security in their school to stop people bringing guns in, instead of just banning guns? What were the security guards meant to say, sorry son, you're allowed a gun just not in school?

    For an Englishman who has never seen a gun, nor never wants to and considers them abhorrent, why do America still allow people guns?

    Its not the guns fault, its americas fault for not outlawing it.

    Absolutely not. By this (extremely flawed logic) it would be the government's faul for not outlawing alcohol or cars everytimg a drunk driver crashes.

    Exactly. It sickens me that people always want to blame or look to government for everything. In my experience the people who have that attitude are probably much more likely to commit acts similar to the one being discussed.

    what sickens me is that that poor girl died for no other reason than a fucking idiot was allowed to get a gun in a country where guns are more common than manners

    what also fucking sickens me is that that girl might not have truly accepted god into her life and so she now resides in hell... doesnt she know1?

    We all die for no reason....but perhaps her death had more reason than most considering it was so well publicized that it might influence the living.
