Is John McCain an idiot? Gun rights advocates. Pfff!?

Question

Yeah, right to buy a frigging AK-47?

"We have to look at what happened here, but it doesn't change my views on the Second Amendment, except to make sure that these kinds of weapons don't fall into the hands of bad people" John McCain.

John, good people go crazy as well. A milk man shot 10 kids not long ago. Postal workers come to work and shoot their co-workers. Law students become serial killers. Are you proposing that we incorporate some kind of psychological profiling? Why don't you and Charleston Heston say that to the faces of the parents of these dead kids.

Nothing will prevent this but a total ban on guns. Even with that, it will take 30 years to filter the gun culture out of US society. McCain is an idiot.

How did out liberal gun laws help these kids? They didn't. What they did do is provide some way for this fiend to get ahold of two semi-auto handguns so he could kill your neighbors's sons and daughters...in a fu*king classroom! Liberal gun laws didn't protect them. I suppose some of you would take a gun to class, stating, "Whayul, it ain't a' gonna hayupun tah may!" This will happen again and next time when it's one of your own, you'll change your tune.

Answer 1

how do we know a guy is bad, until he goes on a rampage??

Answer 2

You would save more money by banning motor vehicles from people who drink and drive or have convictions thereof. There are tens of millions of people who own firearms and hundreds of millions of weapons within the united states. A total ban on guns would not stop this from happening. Lets look at our war on drugs, we did that more than 30 years ago and I am ready to say we lost the war on drugs. All you would do is take firearms away from law abiding citizens, the criminal elements of society would hold on to their guns. Countries like England that have harsh gun control laws see a much higher homicide rate than the united states.

Answer 3

You are an idiot.
I believe several area of the world with more abhorent gun restrictions then the US have witnessed more horrifics acts of man on man.

AN AK47 is only a tool, I use mine for burning paper and hunting deer. I prefer it over my 30.06 because it is easier to carry.

Here is a tad bit of truth for you, You may want to read a book by a former anti-gun sociology prof, John Lott did a longitudinal study of gun crimes, in states where stringent gun restrictions exists more gun crimes occur. when less restrictive gun rights exist less gun crimes occur. A disarmed society is at the mercy of individuals bent on usurping the rights of others..

Hell, my 9mm S&W has killed nothing but paper, Teddy Kennedy's driving has killed at least one person we know of.

It will be a cold day in hell before you take my firearms, by law or force.

Answer 4

yes, let's take away guns so that no one can arm themselves when the black market trade on guns goes down and then someone breaks into your house with a sawed off shotgun and aims it in your face. What are you going to do? Beg him not to shoot you?

Please...you take away guns it'll just be a black market thing and look how outlawing drugs has worked. Hell....seems like drugs are here to stay even though they are illegal.

I'm sorry but I like feeling protected in my own home..

guns don't kill people...people kill people.


and in additon to your additional comments:

It can happen with or without outlawing guns. If there were no guns allowed you better believe there would be ways of getting a firearm regardless. You don't think people disobey laws? Come on now....if you do you are living in a fantasy world.

Answer 5

I favor allowing individuals to carry concealed weapons if they have had training and have not had a felony conviction. Most of the people in the self-help group Parents of Murdered Children have strong feelings about this issue as well as Citizens against Homicide. (Members of both national groups have suffered the loss of a loved one to homicide) Compassionate Friends is also a self-help group however it is for parents who have lost a child to any cause homicide, accidental death or disease.

In 1999 at the Columbine High School shooting 22 students were killed.

So far 33 have been confirmed dead at the shootings at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University — (located in the western end of the state near the borders of West Virginia and Tennessee). It has been called the worst mass shooting in modern American history. The shootings began in the Ambler Johnston Hall dormitory at 7:15 a.m. Eyewitnesses described the gunman as an Asian male about 6 feet tall. He apparently shot himself in the head after the killings; part of his face was missing when his body was found.

He was said to have quarrelled in a dormitory with his girlfriend, whom he believed had been seeing another man. A student adviser was called to sort out the row. But the killer produced a gun and shot dead both his girlfriend and the adviser.

The second shooting was at Norris Hall. Two hours later he rampaged through an engineering building on the other side of the campus in the town of Blacksburg, killing indiscriminately.

The gunman was said to be of Asian appearance and dressed in maroon hat, leather jacket and black-military style shooting vest.

He had ammunition strapped across his chest as he calmly walked from room to room refilling his two 9mm handguns as he shot students.

He locked the doors of several classrooms to stop anyone escaping. Some terrified students jumped for their lives from fourthfloor windows, while others used desks to barricade doors.

The gunman has been identified as a Chinese man who arrived in the United States last year on a student visa. The 24-year-old man arrived in San Francisco on United Airlines on Aug. 7 on a visa issued in Shanghai

The number of dead is almost twice as high as the previous record for a mass shooting on an American college campus. That took place at the University of Texas at Austin on Aug. 1, 1966, when a gunman named Charles Whitman opened fire from the 28th floor of a campus tower. Whitman killed 16 and injured 31.

another good account

Answer 6

No, we should not disarm ourselves. That would be a big mistake.
