How many nut cases or criminals actuall goe through the background check and registration processes already in place? I dont thnk....ANY! So what in the world would any more laws on top of the hundreds already in place would have ANY effect on the ones commiting crimes w/guns have? And at the same time as the school shooting, a nut in China attacked a grade school and killed/wound nearly as many.....do we outlaw all knives? Cars kill thousands of times more each year....(and some are scary black looking ones!!!) outlaw them? How about cigarettes. Kill 500,000 a year in the US alone...."If we save even ONE life, its worth it" (quote from lawmaker wanting to outlaw guns) then why do we tolerate something that kills 1/2 MILLION people a year here? Get a grip. Criminals are criminals because they ignore the laws we have already, and more die from stabbing each year than gunshout...so why is a knife less of a danger?
OK, back to the OP's subject. The guy killed was a scum that would keep robbing, etc (and who knows who he would kill in his crimes) and is gone. One less dirt bag to be coddeled by our legal system and let free to commit crimes again so huurah for the end result, but the shooter broke the law and that is a fact. Lets see what the outcome is.
What happend to the days I grew up in....we got a .22 at age 7-8 years old, We HAD to attend hunters/gun safety classes. We brough our guns to school as kids as we had to hunt after school to put food on the table (and fish), none of us ever shot any one......the principal allowed guns for hunter safety in the school, we had no "accidenltly shot someone cleaning his gun" as we were taught to always treat every gun as it was loaded. Check twice to see if it is, never point a gun at any one, alwys point down and away, NEVER pull a trigger unless aiming and firing at a target or game.
How the heck do people "accidently shoot some one"? Guns dont just go off, some idiot picks it up , points it at someone, has to have the safety off, a round in the chamber, and pull the trigger. How is that an accident?
Put some freaking responsibility and common sense back into this country and get our act together people.
Pot has never killed a single person,(unless they ate to much pizza from the munchies) yet we fill our prisons w/pot smokers yet let dangerous criminals go free right and left to repeat crimes again.
Rant done.
