People should be careful not to project the same hate on Westboro that they project on others. To do so means someone is no better than them. At least for the time being, we have the freedom to protest and to demonstrate to make a statement as long as we don't break any laws. As offensive as I find them, they have a Constitutional right to express themselves.

You don't "get them" you make them in an emergency. Zombie Apocalypse counts as an emergency Oh, yeah...and who gets to decide what an emergency is? I can't find anywhere that they are legal even in an emergency. I think you should submit to a background check based on your postings here over the years.

Is it because the P.G.R's only do Military Funerals? If so it's understandable but too bad at the same time that an exception could not be made here. Yes, the PGR only participate in military, veteran and first responder funerals at the request of the family. I'd be willing to go up there with my Harley to counter these idiots. If any PGR's want to make an unofficial appearance as a public service, I'm in.

I wasn't thinking "sand".

I'm there.

Aren't Molotov Cocktails illegal? How did you get them? Have you been through a background check? You might want to remove your post, less you be arrested for conspiring to produce a banned weapon. Holders Justice Department is surely monitoring internet posts. If you do decide to carry out your illegal act, I suggest some type of thickening agent to help it adhere to your target.

It's difficult to say if these placeswere targeted because of their restrictions on guns because most of these nuts end up commiting suicide. However, when was the last time you heard of one targeting a gun show or a police station? Even the Ft. Hood murderer knew that very few on the base were armed because since 1993, soldiers have not been allowed to carry weapons on the base. Hsan was able to walk around for10 minutes shooting people before he could be stopped by someone with a gun.

Lame. Laws that aren't enforced may as well not exist. Like speed limits on the Dan Ryan Expressway in Chicago. Limit is 55 or 45, people drive 80. State cops just ignore them. ----------------------------------------------------------- You are very correct. Laws that arent enforced do as much good as the people that circumvent those laws to get the results they choose.... and so how does adding MORE laws help your cause? You are wasting your breath.

Where and by whom?

That's for anyone who can't or won't click the link and read. Andy, I know it's not new, but it's getting worse. It also bothers me that this my be another case of Holder ignoring the law/direction of congress and simply doing whatever the hell he feels like, regardless of constitutionality. Why weren't you whining when AGs Mitchell, Ashcroft, Gonzales and Meese were trampling the Constitution? Oh yes, they were GOP. Why aren't you whining now? Oh, that's right they are Dems.

You were in prison for 2 years?

The school had such a system.

Great... Now that you have acknowledged that the problem is with the shooter and not the weapon, we can discuss why the mother did not make sure her guns were secured.

Nope. But here's a hint. Part of the problem is our legal system. It allows too many violent criminals to commit too many aggressive crimes before they are evn locked up. Time after time we have violent criminals who commit another crime within days and sometime hours of being reeased. We need to be sure that someone has reformed and are no longer a threat before they are allowed to leave prison. And don't even get me started on the conditions of our prisons. They are run by the most violent of inmates. This is one of the reasons people buy guns. Until you start understanding this, you have nothing left but to think magically that somehow banning guns is a solution. I have news for you, it will never work until the societal issues are addressed. I am afarid we are too far down the road to turn back now. This is another reason people buy guns. Your reactions so far are nothing but knee-jerk and will never attain the outcome you think they will. All they will do is serve to make our crie problem even worse than it is now.

What's the point if prolific gun ownership is the crux of the problem? Because it isn't the problem. When you start out blinded by reality, anything else that comes from that is pure fantasy.

You and Kallend sound exactly like the oppressive ideology our founders had in mind when they wrote the 2nd amendment. Address the reasons people feel they need to own a gun first and you will see the number of gun owners decrease. Until then, you only seek to deny honset law abiding people the means to defend themselves that they deem necessary.

Christ. What makes America so unique as to suffer such a frequency of disturbed individuals massacring innocents? No more disturbed people here than anywhere else. The difference is that here the loonies can get hold of semi automatic weapons incredibly easily, and people like gravitymaster, rushmc and lawrocket see no problem with that. Bullshit. Nobody wants to see a looney get a gun. How do you propose making it more difficult without trampling on the rights of the 99% of responsible gun owners, again? Address the issue of why people find the need to own guns.

Christ. What makes America so unique as to suffer such a frequency of disturbed individuals massacring innocents? It's a very deep seated neurosis. Books have been written on the subject.

And if you were better informed you would know that over 1000x as many people have been shot to death in the same time period. So you are claiming over 20,00 people in China have been killed in gun crimes since 201? I call BS. Prove it. Comparing guns in the USA with knives in China. Don't act like an idiot, we know you're not one. So you can't prove your claim? That's what I thought.

Sorry, can you explain yourself better? Sure, the other countries you refer to have governments that oppress individual rights and freedoms to make them more secure. What we in the US call trading freedom for security. One of the founding philosophies addresses this issue.

Your thinking is inverted. Ask yourself why people feel the need to own guns and you will begin, and I do mean begin, to understand the problem is in the social culture.

You mean oppressive cultures like France where Muslim women are told they cannot wear a burka even if they want to?

Haven't you figured out how to blame this on Republicans, yet? It's been more than 24hrs. You need to get busy.

I think that when people who own guns have less need to own them, there will be fewer guns. I am constantly amazed by those who think the solution is inverted. Until we begin to have serious discussions about what is wrong with our culture and what we are going to do to change it, I will keep my guns to protect me from criminals.
