    I can understand this mentality. I type this not in a joking manner, but I don't worry about deer and elk. I worry about my children's being mowed down with bullets at school.
    I don't do anything (anymore) that ever puts me in a situation to be worried about bad cops. I was a cop and know the game.
    All mass shootings are done by people with different mind states and beliefs......they all don't fall into a certain profile. I know you are smart enough and know this. But deep down cant you see how the ONE and ONLY CONSTANT in these mass murders is the GUNS. Each and every shooting is based on some sort of hate or mental imbalance right? But the ONLY thing that is at each and every site of these killings is guns. I'm all for your right to bare arms, but what if we all just put em down..... I lost a few friends, four in fact when we were 16-19 and this was before I went in the military..... it always hurts me so much to think that if guns weren't available to these young, dumb kids, they would still be here. I'm willing to give up my rights to keepm people alive is all I'm saying. Wish others were as well.

    I bet if you put it to a vote, most would take thier chances on dealing with bombs than guns.

    Don't we already have a law prohibiting full auto guns? Did that help?

    Damn. He had an hour and 12 minutes to pick people off? Jesus! Well I guess it was because they couldn't figure out which room, but should it have taken that long?

    You wouldn't? If you knew all these people killed last night would be alive right now and all you had to do was give up our rights to own guns...... you wouldn't do that?

    I've never once got a chance to vote on anything related to gun ownership.

    I spent several years of my life carrying guns and being around people that were trained at dealing with guns and still saw some gruesome accidents because of them. I have no issue with allowing gun ownership - but there needs to be much tighter control of education, registration and continuing checks to keep them. Just as cars need a proper driving license and continue periodic registration of both cars and drivers - guns need to be registered periodically and the owners need to be continuously evaluated. Not doing it is stupid imho.

    Holy hell man! This dude planned to kill people, he planned it for some time. There is no fucking way known to man, that my giving up my rights to own guns would stop this fellow from killing people. Please think on this fact.

    London..... Paris..... they have strict gun laws, and yet people are still finding a way to carry out devastating terrorist attacks.

    Edit- apparently the software here thinks that a direct link to an article is a form of media.

    Alright, I am remembering why I don't venture into these threads. I respect your opinions and will part ways with these topics. I pray nobody with a gun kills any of your loved ones. I've never been more serious about a post. Peace to you guys.

    I suspect you are as inventive as me. How many ways can a man kill his kind when the notion is put into a plan?
