Law & Ethics - April 2007

Our constitution gives us the rights to bear arms. Clearly nuclear weapons, which are technically arms, shouldn't be legal for any person to own. And most would agree a grenade launcher should also be banned.

Where do you think the line should be drawn and why?

Is there a law forbidding this and can one be arrested for doing it?

They claim that, had everyone on Virginia Tech campus been carrying a gun, the massacre would not have happened?

That is the dumbest thing I ever heard.

I thought with all the gun control laws there were background checks and waiting periods. Why would we allow a non-citizen to purchase guns of any kind and risk that they could be terrorists?

Anyone else think it's socially irresponsible for the NRA to fight against every form of gun control proposed? Be it tougher laws on illegal firearms, or more money to fund government agencies in charge of regulating firearms like the ATF?? Are they not partially responsible for the massacre that occured in Virgnia?

I know the NRA is supposed to be about responsible gun owners, but some of their policies are making it easier for deadly weapons to get into the hands of dangerous people.

Friday the 13th- My boyfriend (of 5 years and father of my 4 year old) and I had plans to go out on the town. We stopped by our neighbor’s house. The kids were in the back bedroom playing, my girlfriend neighbor and her boyfriend were sitting on the couch, and I was on a chair.

My boyfriend grabs me a beer- I see him open it, and then walks into the kitchen as to throw the twist lid away. I take a drink, and what do I find in my beer: Half a pill. I did my own research and found it was half of an Ambien. Of which my boyfriend had a prescription to.

The major irony of all this, I had spoke to my mother a few months earlier and confided in her that I thought my boyfriend was drugging me. There were some weird cases where I would wake up the next day and not remember anything of the night before. And I’m 30 years old. So to confirm my suspicions, I actually find a pill in my drink.

Now what. My (now x) boyfriend and I live together. I told him to get out or I’m pressing charges. Of course he denys having anything to do with the pill in my drink. Thinks I should press charges to prove that he had nothing to do with it, or to sue the bottling company. Come on, I’m not stupid. It is pretty obvious he did it. I need some insight? He is making me out to be crazy on this whole ordeal. I want him out of my life!!! How should I proceed?

I put my son in a home daycare. I signed a contract that stated that I would give her a weeks notice and pay before taking him out. I walked in last week to pick him up early nad found her screaming at my 2 year old cursing him and telling him to shut up while he screaming scared in the corner. Needless to say; I took him home and never took him back there again. Now she claims I still owe her 100$. She cant take me to small claims court for that little of money can she? I reported her abuse and I dont really want to pay her.

Is not true, that our police train endless amounts of hours for these kind of situations?
Eyewitness Matt Kazee said that it was a full two to three hours after the shootings began that loudspeakers installed around the campus were used to warn students to stay indoors and that a shooter was on the loose.
Quite how the killer was afforded so much time before any action was taken to stop him is baffling, especially considering the fact that the campus, according to Kazee, was crawling with police before the event happened due to numerous bomb threats that had been phoned in last week.
The shootings came three days after a bomb threat Friday forced the cancellation of classes in three buildings, WDBJ in Roanoke reported. Also, the 100,000-square-foot Torgersen Hall was evacuated April 2 after police received a written bomb threat, The Roanoke Times reported.
CNN quoted a student who was outraged at the delay in identifying and stopping the killer.

Once Again!!!
I'm 99.9% certain that the number of people kill each year by the use of guns CAN BE AVOIDED. So why can't congress abolish all guns to the general public? Don't give me the 2nd admentment crap either...freedom to bare arms (you still have your knives and baseball bat). Also for you hunters out there, you can establish a "rental" system at desinated hunting grounds. "its not the gun that kills people, its the person"....some say. I say BS! 6 months ago - 18 answers -

Note: You are still not guarantee tobe safe from people who uses guns...cause of wackos, and of smugglings of the weapon. but you are guarantee the "limited" access, and amount of guns out there. Freedom to bare arms was a law establish for the citizens in case their government goes insane and kills its own people. Chances are low for that to happen in the US. And no, its not a good feeling the you don't have a gun, and someone out there do...lets hope that someone is a cop, or in the military.

Please make the US households free from guns & deadly weapons.Please only allow guns for rarest of rare that too with a monthly inspection of the weapon & in order to less risk the brutal or misuse. Please ensure the safety & security of the people in general.

If it is determined that a gun shop owner sold this nutcase a handgun illegally, do you think he should lose his store? I do, whoever sold this whackjob a handgun should be held responsible for the damage it's caused.

Sometimes civilians, even college and high school students, need to take steps to defend themselves. What could you do to disarm a lone gunman in a situation like at Virginia Tech? Think about it. You'll be better prepared if you consider it now.

Look at what has happend at virgina tech. Look at the newspaper each and every day and read the headlines of the innocent victims of gun violence. I read the storys of assault weapons being used againt police, and i read storys of people being killed by guns bought at gun fairs and i cant understand it. What will it take for the federal government to do something. Why are they opposed to a ban on assault weapons? Why must we live in fear that the criminal element in our society has the right to bear arms just as much as those in the NRA who raise their rights above our rights to live without gunfire in your streets in our homes...at our schools? What must it take for america to wake up!!!! Our gun loving ways must end. This is not a society any longer who has the right to bear arms like our forefathers with a musket and a dream of freedom. How, as people, can we make our failed government hear us to take the guns, assault weapons and the fear we live in our of our lives?

That really is the million dollar question for me in the gun debate: Does the ease of obtaining firearms in this country result in more lives saved or more lives lost? From what I've seen over the years, the number of gun deaths seem to far out-number gun "saves." And the stat that only 46 gun deaths occured in all of Britain (which has super tough gun laws) last year as opposed to 579 deaths in New York city alone certainly is eye opening. What's your take on this contentious issue?
