More guns will mean more people ending up dead or maimed. Our society simply doesn't mix well with guns. Canada has just as many guns per capita but 1/10th of the incidents. Simply put, we're not a good match for guns. Obviously most murders are because of guns because, let's be honest, before guns no one was murdered, no one was hurt, and there were no wars. Yeah, that's it. Let's close our eyes, say "Ommm" over and over again and beleive crap like what Maher is spewing here. The intelligence oozes from him like puss from a zit. People who want to kill, will simply do that, and all you are doing by making stricter gun control laws is either forcing them to go on the black market (because who ever said…"gee i better not rob this 7-11 cause my gun ain't legal"), or use an alternate method to commit their crime (a knife, perhaps?) Or should we just legislate away anything that could possibly be used as an instrument of harm? Cars? butter knives? chalupas? Let's look at some of the great massacre's in human history. 9-11? No guns. Pearl Harbor? No Guns. Jonestown? 907 of the 909 dead via poison. If you don't want to own a gun, no one is forcing you, but it sure seems like there are a lot of ways to kill or hurt someone not involving guns. Tired, specious argument. The guy in Cupertino could not have dispatched and harmed as many people... if he didn't have a gun. If he had a knife, someone could have stopped him with a broomstick. Let's get real, Tim. Guns are very good at what they're designed to do, kill things. Like most fleabaggers, you only see the side that supports your prejudice... |

Gray said Shareef Allman, 47, whom officials identified as the suspected gunman, used to come into his boxing club almost every day about four years ago. Sometimes, he would bring his daughter and the two would train. He said Allman was a respectable man who would try to get children off the streets and into Gray’s boxing gym, which serves at-risk youth. "He was a supportive type of person in the community," he said of Allman, who he said could always be spotted at San Jose’s annual jazz festival. Allman stopped coming around when Gray switched gym locations, and he said he hasn’t seen him for about a year. When Gray heard about the shooting suspect, he said he was shocked. "I was like come on, no, not Shareef," he said, adding that Allman was not a "monster." Lavella Benton, 52, said Allman, who for a time wanted to be a comedian, "was a voice for young black men in the community." "He spoke against violence," she said. "His show was against violence. I'm in shock." Benton said she has known Allman since she moved to San Jose 30 years ago. He was studying cosmetology and doing hair with one of Benton's girlfriends and the three of them clicked. "He didn't drink, he didn't do drugs. He was a mentor to my boys, who are now 29 and 32," said Benton, who left her phone number with Santa Clara County sheriff's officials in the hope she could help urge Allman to surrender. Benton said she knew that Allman "was having problems on his job but I didn't know how severe. This is not him. He snapped." The suspected gunman is still at large. Yup, he was a great guy who would never do this, until he did. We need more guns everywhere, because there's the slightest chance that events like this could be stopped. You betcha. The more guns that are in people's hands, the higher the potential for their use. Period. What actions did your president and the liberal congress take to help your cause? |

Sorry, Mr. Paranoid, but "YouDont" isn't me. But you're too stupid to realize it, eh? |

Nice Troll Mr. Dr. Karen Grear of Catholic University of America... Pointless and dangerous is gathering up your drunken buddies and traveling great distances to shoot at what? Why a tree stump of course. Or leaving loaded guns scattered around the house until a planned visit from children prompts you to gather them up and put them in a "safe" place. I guess Krause's kids are smart enough not to show up at his house on the spur of the moment with children in tow, lest the kids pick up some guns and start a game of cowboys and indians. |
