Guns don't kill people, people do? How many people do you think he would
have killed if he tried to use two knives, instead of two guns? Or two clubs, or two brass knuckles? Or two pairs of scissors? Staple guns? Machetes? Jim Or fertilizer and gasoline. 168 Timothy McVeigh. |

YES!!!!!
And if you were holding the door to stop him entering, he could not have shot you through that door. Do you honestly think that murder only started when guns were invented? there has been violent crime since the begining of time. It has always been the fault of the person committing the crime. When the first caveman clubbed another with a rock should they have banned all rocks because they can be used to kill more people than with just bare hands? people will always find a way to hurt other people and those that want to use a gun will whether the gun is legal or not. Banning handguns will not stop murders from using them it wont stop any crime at all as seen in evidence by states that have bans on handguns with higher crime rates. |

Do you honestly believe that a man with a gun, intent on killing
multiples is no more dangerous that a man with a knife or club? I believe that a man intent on killing someone does not give a **** about the laws in place saying he can't use a gun. |

OK, so you have a set of loose gun control regulations which will allow mentally unstable people to purchase a pistol because their illness is only their affair. Great! Yep - just like Victoria (Aus) with privacy laws that effectively prevented a known AIDS patient's records being released to the cops while he went about screwing his partners. What's the tally of infected men - over 100? Difference is, he didn't use a gun and they don't die straight away. They're all going to cost a ****load before they do, tho. Privacy laws. Unintended consequences. Gun checks. Privacy laws. Unintended consequences. Your solution is..... ? PDW |

You didn't answer my question.
Because your question is completely irrelevant to my argument. Of course it is harder to kill someone with a club or a knife but making guns illegal is not any solution to this problem. Murder is already illegal, we all know this. Obtaining firearm illegally is still possible, we know this as well. If someone wants to murder a bunch of people there will always be a way for them to do that. writing it down on paper that they are not supposed to have that gun they are shooting people with does nothing. In imperial Japan swords were banned to stop the samurai. So they started illegally carrying cane swords. Crime rates still went up people still broke the law. The sword ban was less for the protection of the people and more for the government to claim more control over the people. more control = more money. Always has. Now its the same with guns. Look at the people that historically have banned guns. The big ones to me are Hitler, Stalin, Polpot, and Mussolini. I don't want to be in the same category as them. I Want the individual to be held responsible not everyone that happens to enjoy guns and doesn't harm others with them. |

In comes the bureaucrats, saying "Ah! but what about privacy???" Need we remind you that those people were Democrats? Like I said, I have a very close friend, a well known health care lobbyist, who worked in the HEW Dept during the Reagan years who was in on the initiative...What started out as a cost cutting effort turned into a fisco...it's all there in the facts...just Google Hisotry of HIPAA.... Yeah, to hell with privacy. We don't need it. We laready had adequate privacy laws in effect...it was overkill and unnecessary...not cost effective and has made the health care industry even more seamped in administration costs than before... |

You guys, (Max, Katy, Dave) begin to sound somewhat paranoid. You chant "Liberal" about every perceived problem, using the term in like it was the most vile depraved thing a human could be. The word you should be chanting is "Politician", in the grand scheme of things there really isn't that huge of range from your mainstream political left to mainstream political right. The common thread to all legislation is politicians and their machinations, which far too often are driven by greed, enough money can make most of them sit on whichever side of the fence pleases the funds provider. Yup... paranoid. Scary paranoid actually. -- Capt. JG @@ www.sailnow.com |
