Great find Rick!

well you almost made it to 5:00.  wasn't a mass shooting, but you got your story of a school shooting. 


https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/2013/12/13/two-reported-injured-in-colorado-high-school-shooting/4014393/

I don't know, I don't think I spoke too soon. 

What definition are we using for a Mass Shooting?

I do not feel great about this, and am not happy that psychos have guns.

Good to see that Colorado's new draconian gun laws (among the most strict in the country now) are working. 

 

I heard about it..

It's really a shame how insensitive some of us have become about our children being killed in our schools.

One would think we American's could come together and would have the common decency to keep weapons from getting into the hands of immature adults and crazy people.

I wish we could come together and first make sure that we all agree that it is a right to own a firearm. 

People like you wont do that because, as you have admitted, you want all guns banned/ confiscated. 

 

this thread made me 

 

You have a very bad habit of putting words in peoples mouth. 

When have I ever said that I wanted all guns banned or confiscated ?

NEVER.

This is the main reason we Americans cannot get along. You have so much hatred in your heart that you hear only what want you want to hear.

A survey just come out that more and more Americans are buying fewer guns, and fewer Americans are buying more guns. Eventually the gun manufacturers will begin to go out of business ( hopefully ) as those fewer buyers realize that they have ENOUGH !

78 % of the population agree with curbing certain weapons. The reason a gun bill hasn't passed yet is because the NRA is pouring money at congress. This will end as the outrage of are children's massacres continue to fester. I thank God we have more rational people in this country.

NRA is a civil liberties organization that fights for the rights of gun owners.

We have had discussions before in which you have stated that you wanted all guns "off the streets".

Maybe you could end the questions and tell me right now which guns that you would allow Americans to have? 

Please Don, as someone who doesn't know much about guns, and is not a gun enthusiast.  Please.  Could you dictate to me which guns I should be allowed to keep?

Juan,

Karl Halverson Pierson the coward who shot up Arapahoe High School in Colorado has been described by a fellow student as “an opinionated socialist.” ....

Maybe,, if we want to pro actively reduce "gun violence", we could jail all socialists........Keep guns out of the hands of liberals, and these incidents stop....

So Sara, what are you saying, do you agree with the NRA ?

Right now, this very second ... I can hire a hooker, get any kind of narcotic, any weapon, all the things to make any weapon, just by walking out my door.

Making things illegal creates a black market and a demand for it. Making legal items illegal doesn't work. If there is a demand for something. Someone will want to make a profit from it.

Make all guns illegal and watch gangs grow in size and become even more rich, violent and powerful. There is nothing the government can do to stop demand. Rational people realize this.

Instead of gun shops making money. All the money will go to criminal groups. Great ... that's a good idea.

Rick:

You asked this question yesterday. Still no answer from Dandy Don. I think his non-answer answers your question on which guns we should be allowed to keep.

 

Aaah genius, following your logic...Should we make bazooka's legal,? airplane rocket launchers legal ? How about hand grenades ?

Smarten up, everybody is laughing at you !

Is an airplane rocket launcher some sort of device that shoots airplanes as well as rockets? 

 

And that was a complete leap of logic.

Not shocking from you.

Nice neighborhood ...

Anyone know if .. airplane rocket launchers be converted into submarine torpedo launchers ...?

Who is… everybody? The crazy voices in your head…

How in the hell did the discussion go from guns to bazookas and rockets? Those are military weapons.

I wasn’t aware of a huge public demand for bazookas, rocket launchers and hand grenades?

You’re like the democrat version of 14daroad.

 

And Assault weapons are not military ?  You're the one that wants to legalize everything. YOU"RE IGNORANT !

No, you're ignorant ... I'm a pragmatist. Where did I say I want to legalize "everything?" I believe in rules and laws. Assault weapon is subjective. You have to differentiate things. You can't put a one size fits all label.
