Aren't most freedoms limited in this country?

Even though guns are legal, I am limited to what guns I can buy. I can't buy an assult weapon.

So why shouldn't abortion be limited as long as it is still legal?

Since the Virginia Tech shootings, many people on Yahoo have asking quesitons about banning guns. Knives kill a lot of people every day in the United States. In a query I ran against the Cincinnati Enquirer, there were 46 people killed since the beginning of the year.

So should we ban all sharp knives as well?

What I mean by this is why do so many of us act like we are so much better than the rest of the world? Is is because we are really that unworldly?

For example, 3000 people died in 9/11 and don't get me wrong, that is HORRIBLE, however, is it not worse that we have killed 10s of thousands of iraqi civilians and they weren't even the ones responsible for 9/11??? Are they not PEOPLE just like us? With families and children?

So, why is it that Americans feel that we are better than the rest of the world and think that God only blessed us?

continue to support the 500,000+ murders and injuries of innocent Iraqis?


Instead of investigating the Virginia Tech administration, maybe we should focus on the blatant criminal activities of the Bush administration.

does America have the highest rate of drug abusers in the world?

Why does America have the highest rate of working people taking anti-depressant medication?

Why are American whites the only white people in the world who have to fear being in certain neighborhoods at night?

Doesn't sound like the greatest country to me.... sounds like the worst. Popping pills to feel better, constantly being scared or having to tip toe for fear of offending someone etc.

I mean, I can see why people form 3rd world countries try to go there, but they also come to Europe. That's nothing to be proud of. In all of Europe, we probably have over 10 million illegals too. HeII, they even come on inflatable boats across the ocean to our shores from Africa.

Then it is saying "Flinchum said Wednesday that the gunman, Cho Seung-Hui, had been accused of stalking two female student in 2005 and had been taken to a mental health facility that year." Doesn't the Brady Law say it is illegal to purchase a gun if you are mentally imcompetant by being sent to a mental health facility?

she said something to this effect yesterday " the founding fathers never envisioned nuts walking into schools and shooting everyone and therefore guns should be banned". i'm guessing the founding fathers never envisioned two women getting married and having children either. should that be banned as well then? i suppose so, if you go by that logic...she sure is dumb...

I always wondered, why we would have people decide about our countries future, if they have reached their zenit 20 years ago and now just wait to die. Supreme court judges, Presidents, Generals, Senators.... If you know, you are not going to see the results of your bad decisions, why would you care?

Basically your'e right to bear arms....so banning weapons would be considered unconstitutional.
How about if there were laws banning the sale and ownership of ammo?

So here we have a very unfortunate incident that happened at the end of a gun but executed by the hand of a killer. Now we need to have stricter gun control laws because the guy didnt have a criminal record and somehow if he had to wait a week to get the gun he would of magically changed to a nice guy and this never would of happened??? There is no measure of gun control that could of prevented this. If you make it harder to get a gun it will only be harder for the honest people to get a gun, the criminals will still have ready access to them. The more the government unarms the populous the more it will turn to something other than a democracy and the more likely innocent will fall prey to the criminal population. So why is the government using this incident to propose stricter gun laws when in fact there is no measure that could of prevented someone without any prior criminal history from repeating these events. If you know how gun control could of fixed this I want to hear it?

when will america and other countries wake up to the fact that hadguns cause more problems than they solve?

making them available to young kids and adults just because they are of age< without a criminal record is ludicrous
they should be banned>

of course you"ll have them on the street _ but if guns were banned or had tighter restrictions on them: then kids wouldnt have such easy access> there should be some sort of background check done or something

what do you think?
isn"t this crazy?

"Why did the police have to shoot him?" "Couldn't they have tasered him instead?" "Couldn't they have talked him out of the gun?" "Did the police plant the gun on him?" "Did the police shoot him because he was a minority?" "Why didn't the police shoot the gun out of his hand?" "Couldn't the police have shot him in the leg or something?" "How do we know he really did it? Isn't that something for a judge and jury to decide?"

I've heard these very same questions about OTHER shootings. Where are the idiots who asked them now?

This question centers on one particular type of argument used by pro gun people and legalization people.

Conservatives: "people and criminals will always be able to get guns, no matter what laws we pass."

Liberals: "people will always be able to find drugs, and will always want them no matter what laws we pass and how many fields we burn."

Same argument or no?

Personally, I feel regulation is smarter in both cases....

Paul Whitters, 15, was shot in the head with a plastic bullet.
Following a four-year investigation, the police Ombudsman said the firing of the baton round was wrong and unjustifiable.

The police ombudsman said no warning was given and it was fired at less than the permissible range of 20 metres. The officer involved refused to speak to her investigators

My fiancee and I have been on and off again for the last ten years. He is the father of both of my children however his name is not on the birth certificate (he also did not sign it) and he contests paternity to our son not our daughter. I have decided to leave and move to PA from FL to start a new life. I will be moving in with a friend for financial help for a while. Is it legal to do this? Does he have any rights? And finally can he stop me? I am a homemaker and have been for the last four years. I plan on filing for child support once I move up there and have lived there for six months. Please help me any info would be appreciated.
