I know the pictures can be powerful on TV.

Trust me, if this keeps up, people will begin to live in fortresses like Quebec City.

And here I thought this thread was about school shootings....

Missed the point completely.....
Not surprised in the least.

Dude it is the shooting of the innocents. What or where it happens who cares? It needs to stop! Splitting hairs is only a distraction by one without an argument.

Play the deflect, change subject all you want. Facts don't change, guns are being used to kill with little to stop because of all the money paid to politicians for their silence.

And guns control laws dont make anyone safer either. One of the most, if not the most, murder-happy places in the world is Caracas, Venezuela. Venezuela doesn't allow sales of guns or ammo. Mexico has strict gun laws. But guns are smuggled in from the U.S. to help arm those who participate in the drug trade. Sadly, Acapulco has one of the highest murder rates in the world. Closer to home, Baltimore's high murder rate - one of the highest in the nation - is seemingly in spite of Maryland having stticter gun laws than most states.

Schools are targets NOW. To suggest we experiment with more gun control laws to make them safer is folly.

Lets give gun control a try then.
Doing nothing seems to be not working out!

You leave a weapon out with kids around at home? It all about taking responsibility....

Bullshit and you know it. Look at industrialized democracies like the UK and Australia who have implemented stricter gun controls after mass shootings. You're an idiot.

Have your representatives
in Congress received
donations from the NRA?

Since 1998, the National Rifle Association has donated at least $4.1 million to current members of Congress. Explore below to see how much money has been donated to members of Congress in your state.

This is a great link to check out who took what from the NRA in your state.
14 House members from CA, all from the GOP were takers. Hope none of them gets reelected in November.

Thankfully we have the second to protect our God given right.

You're misassuming that I read each of your posts.

However, I was able to find the time in my extremely busy schedule and read 166.

I think your first point is an example of fake news in that IIRC no automatic assault rifles have been used in any of our school shootings. I'm pretty sure you weren't referring to pistols.

Regarding your claim of theft, I will give you credit for coming up with it before me. However, I'd be remiss in not pointing out that your friend was correct in that banning bullets would indeed violate the 2A. The first time I brought up the ban bullets concept was in the late 90's at lunch in DC with coworkers and got the reaction I was hoping for.

Playing along, God given right to what, exactly? What is it's purpose minus the well ordered militias? Armed insurrection? Assassination? Or defense against irrational or criminally intentioned fellow citizens with similar "rights"?
And didn't we just give "rights " to ourselves and credit our God for them?
