One Paranoid Gun Nut Equals 3 Dead Cops.

[blue]

Ouch... Be careful when you say that anybody is JOYFUL over such a event. There might be some, but they would be just as crazy as the person who committed the act.

The issue of personal firearm ownership in this country is a deeply personal one, to both sides. Saying things like this does not help.

True and touche. My post was very out of line.

blue, regarding part of your siggy: There are over five hundred and fifty million firearms in worldwide circulation. Thats one firearm for every twelve people on the planet. The only question is, how do we arm the other eleven.

How do we SAFELY arm the other 11 - making sure they are trained AND mentally fit?

This is an honest question, not a bash.

I have some ideas on this and will start another thread when I flesh some of them out.

One nut + gun - Covina CA - 9 dead - family
One nut + gun - Cathage NC - 8 dead - strangers
One nut + gun - Oakland CA - 4 dead - police
One nut + gun - Binghamton NY - 14 dead - strangers
One nut + gun - Alabama - 11 dead - family and strangers
One nut + gun - Pittsburgh PA - 3 dead - cops
One nut + gun - Graham WA - 5 dead - family children

Seven nuts - 54 dead and it is only April.

What senseless, senseless tragedy. Whether the guns were acquired legally (most were) or not...those 54 people are not any less dead.

How many more?

Millions of gun owners killed no one yesterday, the day berfore, the previous week, the previous month, the previous year. Buckets, plastic bags, swimming pools, and traffic accident kill more people then gun nuts.

To some people, not including you, my 2 rifles and 3 handguns are an aresonal and equate me to be a gun nut.

I couldn't agree more!!

In Denmark, if anyone is caught with a gun or knife in the street now, it's jail time!!

There's simply no need for people to walk around with a weapon!!

"Guns are deeply rooted within Swiss culture - but the gun crime rate is so low that statistics are not even kept." Source.

An armed society is a polite society.

That's why I posted this story. Seems like we have had way too many
stories in the news on gun violence & deranged people who have legal
guns in their house. I believe way to many people are able to purchase
only because they don't have a history of mental illiness. I think that part
of the law should be changed.

Everyone who buys a gun would be required to pass a mental health
test. (given by licenced professional).

While I question your motives for posting the story, there are far more ways to be killed that no one would question.

Who would licence these professionals?

Pretty offensive plus just stupid to insinuate that ES would be joyful to anyone that knows her your just discrediting every single other thing you say.

My post in this thread didnt insinuate anything about ES.

Thank you for speaking up. I was going at ask, who seemed joyful? I
didn't see that in anyone's post either.

My post didnt include it either.
