Nor do the "disarm" folks. Assuming 300 million guns in the US. like you, I'll go lowball and assume $500 per gun to seize them. That's $150,000,000,000 to eliminate the guns. $150 billion dollars. Can you cite one one serious elected official that wants to confiscate every privately owned firearm in the country? In all honesty, I think your cost estimates for complete confiscation were a bit on the high side, I think with UN help we could do it much cheaper.

When you announce for days your'e going to have a "Press conference" and then all you do is make a statement, you are being dishonest. If you are too much of a coward to field questions in real time as one would expect at a press conference, as opposed to sayng "We'll get back to you on Monday" Your'e a coward. Just caught the last few minutes, but that was plenty of time to see he was a pussy.

Money where their mouth is? Their solution is more guns, what a bold fucking move. And that nut did not have the balls to take any questions, what a pussy.

That was bizarre, I thought they may try a little bit of the middle ground.

I saw this and thought of you. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s-BSuOAGoC4

There are very strict laws for private ownership of automatic weapons in this country, but you never hear much (If at all) about these weapons being used in mass public shootings; I wonder why that is?

What we are seeing is more and more responses to a policy of “pass a law against it and pray it doesn’t happen.” The present laws forbid any form of internal mitigative response to these matters. Instead, the response may be only from sworn law enforcement who are authorized to enter a campus with a weapon. How about this for a notion? Schools form policies and procedures and are given training on the use and deployment of equipment and strategies/tactics/drills to provide an internal response to mitigate these incidents. That means putting certain things on the table: (1) Teachers, administrators and staff trained on procedures to mount a defense against an invading shooter (2) Teachers, administrators and staff being allowed to volunteer to form response teams and receive training in the use of weapons to neutralize an attacker (3) Teachers, administrators and staff having the equipment available to neutralize these shooters? Out here we train for fires. We train for earthquakes. We used to train for nuclear attacks. We prayed these things didn’t happen but we trained and keep training and drilling for events. We don’t do that with shooters. Why? Because for all intents and purposes, no meaningful defense can be mounted with school possession laws being what they are. I am arguing that it is time to quit denying what we are facing. And it is time to quit simply passing laws that further ingrain the circumstances that lead to schools being targeted. It’s time to start forming responses to this. It is time to start eliminating easy pickins. It is time to get these people to start thinking that the goal of massive death counts will not be met at our schools. I never hear of any of these strategies mentioned in the gun control debate. And I sense that those who are in favor of banning guns would not like this approach, since it inherently requires the use of firepower to fight firepower. But it’s time to take a look and conclude that what has been done has been ineffective at best and misanthropic at worst. It sounds about as logical as combating drunk drivers by building safer cars. The day we solve mass kindergarten shootings by having SWAT training for teachers, janitors and lunch ladies is the day this country is doomed.

The key word being wounded.

Outside of a few people of the Rhuwandian persuasion, I would thing killing twenty something people at one time with a machete is not too likely.

Isn't is a little early for jokes? or perhaps we should lower the age for CCW permits to the age of 5.

What were seeing is more and more of the mentally ill trying to top each other in the body count contest and by targeting the most vulnerable members of society. This is going to be the new norm for us for a long while and is part of the large price were going to pay for our right to own guns. Perhaps slashing mental healthcare will also increase the pace.

A country with an abundance of weapons, with an acute shortage of mental health care, it's only going to get worse.

18 children and 8 adults dead...What a nightmare.

That up to 20 children may have been shot and killed this morning. http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/chi-connecticut-school-shooting-20121214,0,4678476.story

Now there's something to brag about, I have always enjoyed treating children that are fatally injured and maimed for life by fuckhead drunk-drivers.

Our allies don't trust us because we fucked them over in the last 12 years, but make no mistake, there isn't a country on the planet who doesn't fear what the US could potentially do to them. None of them are that stupid. Even the really stupid ones. The most recent being Israel. It sure wasn't Bush who helped fund the Iron Dome missile defense, that was just used very successfully in Israel. When Bush said no, Obama said yes. http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424127887324712504578136931078468210.html

It's pretty interesting again. Common thread to the Subway stuff - people always think they would act a certain way. Then people don't. Kinda like the whole Subway thing. People think they'd be all heroic but they end up just watching. Still, it's a thought that a person could have fired back. instead, as was written in an article about it, "I figure if he's shooting a gun, he's gonna run out of bullets," DeCosta said, "and I'm gonna take him." I think a persons first thought too being exposed too gun fire, would be too run as fast and as far away from the shooting as they could. Brandishing a weapon would just put a bulls eye on you, The "fog of war" is very real and trying to pick out the bad guy and the CCW guy could be a challenge. And all the while you have to worry about CCW's, police and and a loon capping you.

After reading this, I think I can up the game on #7.

Perhaps when you have one.

Ouch!!!

Your comparing an unarmed teenager walking home with a man on a shooting rampage in a mall? All the CCW's were fleeing way before Trayvon Martin. You guys have all seen one too many John Wayne movies, Funny how all of you would be Paul Kersey's lose your Machismo when the rubber meets the road.

Its moments like this where I thank god that I live in a modern metropolitan area. I'm sure you're willfully ignorant of this, but it actually saves tax payers money when we end up with less people like you when "lazy cunts" have access to birth control. You really prove my point in the most fantastically ironic way, bravo sir. It's amazing to me that people can be this ignorant in 2012, and even yet, admit to it, it ensures that their party will never hold a major office.

The definition of a Sadist? Someone who does nice things for a Masochist.

An interesting side note to anyone who likes the song "Suicide is painless" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suicide_Is_Painless Astounding to think a 14 year old could write such a song.
