There's a difference between terrorist bombings, and psychos with guns.

You can't deny though, had he not had firearms... he wouldn't have been able to kill 33 people. And I seriously doubt he would have made a bomb to kill his girlfriend/ex...

And the anti american thing... that has nothing to do with it. It's logical and common sense, to change outdated laws and legislation...

iGeo...think about it for a sec. If guns were illegal, then the only people who owned them would be criminals.

Not a very good idea.

This isn't a debate about guns. Please show respect to those who died by not using their death to prove a point.

No, If they were illegal, and not allowed in the country... criminals wouldn't be able to get them... it would be criminals and the police that would have them, regular Joe does not need one...

/End gun talk.

There would be no way to stop arrms dealers from smuggling weapons, it wouldnt work.

As for the Bill of Rights thing,as already stated, it was written with a different perspective. What it was for was to allow the new colinists to have the ability to overthrow the goverment incase something shold happen.

You wouldnt be able to go to the White House with an AK today and expect to be able overthrow the U.S. Government.

Last I heard they thought there was no second shooter involved, but they didn't rule out an accomplice. Anyone heard any updates on the amount of people involved or was it just that one person?

How about we don't blame anyone, and just feel bad for those hurt?

How about we don't mock one of the founding documents of this country, and admire our founding father's decision to hold those with guns responsible for their choice to carry firearms?

Pointing fingers just makes everyone more agitated.

Someone make a motion for scientists to create a way to have internet babies.
I quite like Chad's idea. :o

I don't have any eloquent way to word this, all I can say is this is some messed up stuff. Lord knows how some people can be capable of committing such horrendous acts. I suppose maybe some people are just born with that capability in them, although it's clearly something encouraged by other traumatic influences. Some people are just born sociopaths.


God bless the souls of the victims and the poor families and friends who have been sadly become a part of this tragedy.
