You're the poster boy of laziness, ignorance, and stupidity. No wonder you are a "tea partying loonitarian." |

Yeah, and you got guys dressing up like the joker and guys writing twenty page manifestos on Facebook and the administration doesn't see the connection between the entertainment media and murder... cause entertainment media (ie zukerberg et al) gave them so much vacation money... |

Nazis hated the idea of an armed public. ****ing imbeciles. Yes, we fought against them in WW2. Really, you should get your thought process in order. I called them gun nazis, not Nazis. Affixing behavioral tendencies to a population of idiots who think owning a gun is a god given right but safety and living without the threat of sudden death isn't. We call that hypocritical in these parts. You ought to get your thought process in order. Following Jesus and standing up for the right to own a high capacity weapon don't seem real copasetic. |

If you are not really upset, then there is something wrong with you. It's very upsetting, Harry. but not to the point of drama. People live and people die.I''m aware of what *the murder rate is especially in my state. *But John had a valid question, What would JPS suggest doing about it. Instead of a *a comprehensive answer he gets cussed, insulted and demeaned. So... "People live and people die." Wow. Can you deny it? Herring is a racist, and deserves all the cussing, insults and demeaning comments he gets. Over asking for a comprehensive answer to someones continual rant? 1. We can certainly do a lot more to try to cut down on the number of fellow beings who are cut down by guns. By doing so, we are, in a way, denying that sort of death. No doubt. 2. Herring has no interest in "comprehensive answers" to gun deaths or any of the other serious social ills that plague our society. It's obvious from his never-ending, simple-minded and hate-filled posts and comments. I've asked JPS the same question and have never received any kind of a a response worth having. More name-calling, more spewing, and more brain-rattling dementia. Do you have a solution, Harry? No. No you don't. You have some ideas on how to help curb the gun murdder rate, the same as I .but that's not a cure. You can't even get that much from the OP. So... Close the gun show loopholes. Make sales between private parties a legal process, just like buying a car, and include a background check. There is no single solution, there are incremental steps to managing the otherwise out-of-control free-for-all that is the gun market today. Getting drunk driving automobile deaths under control took three decades but by working all sides of the issue, the rate has declined by 2/3 over those three decades. You fruitcakes who think it's just daily business with people getting shot and killed need to have a family member or close friend die of a random act of gun mayhem to wake the **** up? Spectacular ideas! They should be put in a letter to your congresspeople immediately. Salmonbait That doesn't mean you won't ask the same ****ing question in 10 minutes and claim that I haven't given you an answer. Have you had a test for Old Timers disease yet? |
