Next time you find yourself in a debate with a holier-than-thou anti-gun-nut, this massive fact sheet should provide you with every point and counter point you'd ever need - including citations and easy-to-read graphs!

http://gunfacts.info/pdfs/gun-facts/6.1/gun_facts_6_1_screen.pdf

I have this wish.  It is likely a fairly useless wish, because I doubt anyone will heed it, but here it goes.  I do wish individuals like yourself would FOR ONCE, try to acknowledge the worries and concerns, and anxieties over the loss of life of small childen that were killed by an unbalanced individuals who easily got guns.  And, in this, see if you can propose something that acknowledges this.  And, for those who are gungho about barreling down and getting rid of all guns, PLEASE at least READ the second amendment, before you decide you want to disarm everyone.

Of course, this is a fruitless wish, because people seems to not want to honor the U.S Constitution or have a respect for human life.  They are more interesting winning POINTLESS arguments on forums like this. 

I am tired of the shootings.  I am tired of psychos being used as political footballs (I got tired of this back when the congresswoman got shot).  And I am sick of people smugly being right. 

Now is NOT the time for "the ultimate gun factsheet".  Now is time to acknowledge human loss and think why society is sick in this way, and what can be done.  Personally, I don't believe your autonomous cries for "freedom" and personal liberty is the answer here to stopping these shootings.

Anyhow, carry on.  Maybe you can go and get in touch withe NRA and call them a bunch of wusses for not speaking out with your fact sheet.  


I'm pretty sure everybody acknowledges the tradgedy of the shootings.  The problem is that some people are pointing the figure at guns and diverting all of the attention there, when guns aren't the issue.  So I don't see why you'd blame him for any of that.

Instead, what should be asked is... why have their suddenly been so many mass shootings the last 2-3 years?   Random Chance?  A rise in psycopathic brain patterns? 

 

The problem is really very easy to see in this specific situation, and it's a problem being overlooked.  A kid, who was afraid he was going to be committed because he was autistic stole his parents guns, killed both of them, and shot 20 kids, and some adults. 

 

Now why this is a murder is clear... why he shot the unrelated people though... THAT is the question.
