All the people responding to gun control political-media driven talk are not seeing the forest from the trees, just letting media/politics do the thinking for themselves.

In 2010, 10,228 people were killed in alcohol-impaired driving crashes.

In 2010 8,775 people were killed by firearm of which only 358 were by rifles (ar-15) for example.

But the gun control morons in this country talk about banning rifles. A tragedy occurred today, but lets not act like rifles are the problem. I dont hear anybody talk about tougher alcohol laws

Does anyone see the irony and complete lack of logic of laws against guns?

There are laws against killing people and yet the person who kills breaks that law without remorse. The law didn’t stop the criminal.

There is a HUGE moral and cultural stigma against attacking and murdering children even among criminals. Didn’t stop today’s NUT job.

What LAW was going to prevent this attack today? This nut job couldn’t buy a gun off the black market? That’s laughable.

How are the laws against drugs working out for us? Brink of bankrupcy if you haven’t been paying attention.

The MASSIVE police state required to enable gun control is NOT the country I want to live in.

I do feel we’ve become too coddled as a society. Now the slightest thing hurts and offends people and they don’t know how to deal with it. Most of the people who go on these crazy rampages, you can tell they haven’t been through much adversity and can’t cope.

So much naivety and BS going to be posted in this thread by a lot of shallow thinking people (letting media/politics do their thinking) instead of researching and applying logic, and by people who will just parrot catchphrase-like generalizations.

I’m not going to hang around responding to it all. It’s depressing to realize the degree people have become reactionary knee-jerkers.

Let it be that what I have stated in my previous few posts can be used as a reply to the thousand shallow postings that this thread will attract.

20 little kids GG, 20 little kids….
Just think on the reality of that for a minute & I dare you not to feel the need to throw up.

You’re splintering off on a different tangent. You’re focusing on the sadness of the death of 20 children, which has nothing to do with gun control laws. As I explained previously, if a crazy person wants to kill 20 kids via gun violence, in a hypothetical society with tough gun laws, they can still freely purchase guns. Laws do not stop crimes. Laws against particular devices do not stop crimes using those particular devices.

It’s incidental who got killed here. Kids, women, men…it’s irrelevant to the topic of “gun control.”

That’s a cop out, GG. If you want to make the “legal killer” comparison you need to acknowledge that alcohol can be used safely, even if it frequently abused. Guns have one function.

Guns can and have been used safely in society. In America, using those stats I posted….there were 8,000 deaths by guns, and only 350 by high-powered rifles. There are tens of millions of guns and high-powered rifles in legal and non-legal ownership in the USA. That means guns were safely being used 99% of the time, by 99% of the people in gun ownership.

Repeat…it’s against the law to drink and drive. There were still 10,000 deaths in the USA in 2010 by drink-driving.

Gun control laws are a red-herring BS cop-out political/media agenda.

Hi Cork! You know I often ask myself why is there not a Contract quote that say -we( Raiders) will make contract payments according to games played in the (season).
Full season payments of player contracts will be void if player doesn’t comform to contracts.
Therefore Richard Seymore plays 6 games -we pay him for 6
Games!

Raiders game Sunday is sold out, will be on local TV

^^^^^^^^
How in the heck did they sell out that Toilet Bowl game tomorrow?

At least I can actually watch the battle for the #1 pick tomorrow and see if Pryor actually plays. LOL

In Mexico, no pistols larger than a .380, 38 super, 38 special (Revolvers) are allowed. Doesn’t make them any less safer when it comes to gun violence.

^^^^^^^^
Making it harder for nut jobs and or any other person to purchase a gun legally is needed in this country.

Plain and simple.

Nothing wrong with making it harder to buy a gun…legally that is.

Everyone wants change.. but ppl forget about it in a week. Thats the sad state we live in. Look at that theatre shootin… mall on monday. Everyone had forgot.

Zero change
