The gunman.. William Spengler who ambushed four volunteer firefighters, killing two, in upstate New York had spent 17 years in prison for beating his grandmother to death with a hammer in 1980.....
Police would not say what kinds of guns Spengler used, but as a convicted felon, he could not legally own firearms.

More guns mean more death... is not a fact..
A report prepared for members and Committees of Congress by the Congressional Research Service published on November 14, 2012 , just a month before the Newtown massacre.
Reported the number of guns in the U.S. surged from 192 million in 1994 to 310 million in 2009.
The number of firearm-related homicides fell from 17,073 in 1993 to 9,903 in 2011...Per capita, the gun-related murder rate (still unacceptably high ) has dropped by more than 50% over the past two decades.

I think you have a monopoly on righteous indignation.
But it is amusing watching you talk about others throwing tantrums when you are the one who is using words like gun grabbing when the only discussion is the possible restrictions on very specific types of weapons.
The easiest way to get you to run away is to ask if you favor a person openly carrying an assault weapon into your child's school.
Then you become awful quiet on the issue of restrictions.
Got hypocrisy?

Gun-related violent crime in Virginia has dropped steadily over the past six years as the sale of firearms has soared to a new record, according to an analysis of state crime data with state records of gun sales.
The total number of firearms purchased in Virginia increased 73 percent from 2006 to 2011. When state population increases are factored in, gun purchases per 100,000 Virginians rose 63 percent.
But the total number of gun-related violent crimes fell 24 percent over that period, and when adjusted for population, gun-related offenses dropped more than 27 percent, from 79 crimes per 100,000 in 2006 to 57 crimes in 2011.
The numbers appear to contradict a long-running popular narrative that more guns cause more violent crime, said Virginia Commonwealth University professor Thomas R. Baker, who compared Virginia crime data for those years with gun-dealer sales estimates obtained by the Richmond Times-Dispatch.

I recall you stating the same thing in defending some of the anti-abortion statements made. Words are words.
Again, I await links showing what steps have been taken for general gun confiscation. ![]()

what else kills people that we should ban?
if you want to talk specific guns like assault rifles I am on board. If you want to talk crazy about making all guns illegal I am afraid I am not in agreement.
But we all know almost any gun can be altered to be a high powered automatic weaon so it is what it is.....passing laws isnt always the answer. We also know that any person who trully wants to make a gun from scratch could easily do it. We also know that guns if banned would only be a boon for the black market.
Hows the war on drugs working out for us??
Parlay that over to the war (ironic I know) on guns and I imagine the results would be the same.
Carry on.....God Bless those killed my mentally ill people with firearms or any other weapon at their disposal.
