God Hates America: Va tech murdered students deserved the punishment.

...

We will see what happen with upcoming election to see if there's any actions on gun control.

For one, I only support right to wear guns that arent automatic or semi but shotguns, handguns, etc.. less ammo the better.

I can agree with this but my problem is will they stop at that?
 
***Rolling Eyes*** It is interesting to me that people point fingers at God when things go bad. But we totally forget Him when things are good...go figure.

In the scheme of things, the VT massacre is nothing (I'm not mocking this tragic event but trying to put some perspective into it) Seems like everybody forgets past events such as the Rape of Nanking, the Holocast, the Chinese "Leap Forward" (20 million died), and many others over the centuries. It is not specific to any country of the world. Have we already forgotten Beslan school hostage crisis? Some 300+ (with 186 of them kids!!!) people were killed in that fiasco.

By this line of reasoning...God sure must hate Russia, or China, or the Jews or whoever has the misfortune to suffer like this. I don't think so. Man has a propensity to do great acts of evil and God allows it as part of his plan. It is man's choice to do evil acts not God's. Let's put the blame where it should be squarely put...on man himself.

very well said, :gpost:
 
god have nothing to do with what recently happened.. so it can happen ANYWHERE so u can't predict what will happen in future.. so it is out of our hand but it's up to people who MAKE wrong choices and do it.. blah. but the truth is people don't know how to stop bad people from doing what htey are not supposed to do.. IF 2 females did pressed charges against the killer then his name will be in database then it wud be impossible for him to get a gun for sure. but oh well u guys have to watch out for your back if it does happen again.
 
Hmmm . . . let me see if I understand this. So, guns kill huh? I haven't seen a gun hop off the shelf at my local outdoor store to shoot at me, has it happened to you? At the same time, what about cars? I haven't seen any car rage out of control to kill someone, have you? Perhaps, then, it would be considered "operator error," right? In order for a gun to shoot, a person has to have it loaded with ammunition, pull back the hammer and pull the trigger. But, the gun only shot, it did not kill. The person who shot it did the killing. See the differerence? Just like a drunk driver. Did the car hit someone or did the operator of the car cause it to hit someone? Let's think about that one, shall we?

By the way, if you still would like to have my gun. I'll be more than happy to give it to you. Ammunition first.:rifle: :giggle:
 
Lol, Pek. And guess what I did in the furtherance of your study of the gun. I took mine out, laid it on the table and then put 8 six packs of beer next to it, watched for signs of activity for 10 days and nothing happened!!

Please send that message to people like Jerry Falwell, Pat Roberts, etc. There were, after all, the ones who said that the 9/11 attacks were God's punishment for our nation's acceptance of homosexuality. One of them also said that New Orleans was hit by Katrina because it was a city consumed by sin, or somesuch...

That's the same kind of superstitious nonsense espoused by tribal shamans every time a volcano erupts, or the earth rumbles from an earthquake. Good grief! Have we not evolved at all??

As for the gun control argument... I hear what some of you are saying, with the whole "guns don't kill people; people with guns kill people" argument. I get it, and I agree with that statement, in it's simplest form. I think the problem some folks have with it is that guns that are so readily available (as they are in this country) mean that there is the potential for MORE people with guns killing people.

Imagine, for a moment, if technology were advanced to the point where it became possible for any person who wanted their very own mini-nuclear weapon... or even their own deathray gun... could have one. Doesn't that make you a little nervous, not even in the slightest? Does/should the amount of damage possible matter in the debate?

Yes, people determined (or just insane) enough to do harm will likely find a way to do harm... but guns make it that much easier. Especially some of the guns out there that can do some SERIOUS damage (semi-automatic, etc.), and they can do it from a distance, and much faster than, let's say, someone wielding a knife.

I DO understand the argument that American citizens should have the ability to protect themselves... but does it have to be with guns?
 
Japan has strict gun laws. Result? Gangsters have all the guns, citizens have nothing.

TOKYO — When Nagasaki's mayor was fatally shot in southern Japan, it wasn't much of a surprise that a gangster was arrested for the attack. In a country where regular citizens face strict gun laws, the mob does most of the shooting.

Iccho Ito, 61, was shot twice in the back Tuesday evening and died early Wednesday. Tetsuya Shiroo, a senior member of Japan's largest crime syndicate, the Yamaguchi-gumi, was captured at the scene and admitted to the attack, police said.

"This murder, which took place in the middle of an election campaign, is a threat to democracy," Prime Minister Shinzo Abe said early Wednesday. "We must eradicate violence firmly."

The killing, reportedly linked to Shiroo's demands for city compensation for car damage caused by a pothole, focused attention on the role of the Japanese mafia, or "yakuza," in the rare shootings here.

Of the 53 gun attacks reported in 2006, two-thirds, 36, were blamed on organized crime groups, the National Police Agency says.

Handguns are strictly banned for ordinary citizens in Japan, and only police officers and others, such as shooting instructors, with job-related reasons can own them. Hunting rifles are also strictly licensed and regulated.

What else is there as long there are so many guns out there? I don't trust the authorities to get them all. So, the bad guys will still have them and where does that leave us?
