Just to keep this honest. One can still own firearms in Canada. I know quite a few people who legally own them. Handguns are significantly more restricted than rifles. And there is really no carrying them around, concealed or not, in most areas.
-
Npt only that, but has it ever happened before? Where a teenage athlete is beating full grown male athletes in a competition of strength and endurance?
-
With all the doping isn't it more a smallest dick measurement?
-
I agree, but then both sides are guilty of that. Haven't seen to many people stand up yet and say: I don't want my right to guns to be altered or restricted at all. I want a strong right of privacy. Resulting deaths are a price I think is fair for the above rights to be upheld.

Maybe the psychiatrist. Don't really know at this point. I do believe they have some duty to report. Not necessarily to police, but there are other options. The same goes for telling your therapist you are going to commit a specific crime. The question to me becomes, how specific and how sever is the crime. I don't hold the right to privacy to be an absolute.

The athlete's village is rather infamous for the amount of fucking that takes place. So even the athletes appreciate eachother more than just for their athletic accomplishments
-
That's up to each individual to decide. Maybe enough to make minor tweaks? Maybe nothing. What do you think? They are pretty horrific in my opinion. I guess we'll put you on the side of, no big deal.

Means nothing. There are many who got through the testing and later admitted they were indeed using. Marion Jones is a prime example. Quite frankly I think all the top contenders in the big events are using performance enhancing substances. The Chinese are known for doping, specially in their swimming program. There is no doubt in my mind that Ye is not all natural.

And that is where I think you are wrong. Reactions as indicated above show that if anybody comes with a suggestion that even hints at any sort of restriction on arms, that person is labelled as a gun control fanatic (and in another thread subsequently compared to a child molester) who wants to ban all guns. If there is ever a solution to found, it needs frank discussion from both sides. Not one side demanding solutions and then ridiculing anything brought forward.
-
The majority of the people throwing out comments like that seem to be in the pro-gun crowd. I haven't seen too many people truly advocating that in this thread. Are you sure you have read this somewhere, or are you just having a knee-jerk reaction? Cause all these knee-jerk reactions make me think that many do have a problem having this dicussion.

No it isn't a good analogy. Actually it is a pretty fucking sick analogy, really only made for shock factor and completely devalues any point. You are equating mostly law abiding people who feel that a law needs to be enacted or maybe a constitutional amendment needs to be altered or redacted with people who actively break the law in the most despicable way. They actively and in the first person hurt a child. It is absolutely insane you would defend this analogy and then call me shallow.
-
No, both need to be addressed. Though one should look at whether the person engaging in the activity is getting killed or of innocent bystanders are getting killed. The act of drunk driving, even if you do not kill anybody, is already rather heavily penalized and there are specific spot checks to check for that behaviour. Just sitting in your car while drunk can lead to penalties. So, to say that nothing is being done to combat people getting killed by drunk drivers is asinine. Though we can certainly debate if enough is being done. The same goes for innocent people getting killed by gunfire. I see no reason why that cannot be discussed. I find it dishartening that one would even question why one would want to discuss what could be done to prevent mass murderers from using a theatre as a shooting gallery.

It has been replaced with either: I disagree with you, you stupid left wing liberal pinko communist, you are killing this country. or I disagree with you, you moronic right wing, rePUBican sheeple, you are killing this country
-
Did you just equate gun control groups to child molesters?
-
And that is not data he posted. And deaths in skydiving for instance are certainly looked at and rules and regulations changed, altered and/or instituted. So even if he had provided the right data, it would have been a false comparison.
-
I think most adults are trying to discuss disarming not so honest citizens to try and stop them from becoming criminals like mass murderers.
-
That is one of the more useless uses of data.
-
That's an interesting way of saying, I don't know.

How do you stop massacres by mentally unstable people?

There is also more prozac prescribed. Both statement really have no bearing on the issue. -
And that's what it all comes down to really. The "struggle" between people's right to privacy, the people's right (in the US anyways) to arms and the people's right not to get shot while watching a movie. There is no right answer and no wrong answer, just what society is willing to put up with.

Him too, but Romney agreed with him. Wouldn't want there to be a language barrier
-
The first one obviously. What kind of skydiver are you?
-
Take it up with Romney.

How do you stop massacres by mentally unstable people using guns?

Why would I look up the murder rate in Oakland? I thought there was no correlation between access to guns and murder rates?
