So your guns keep you safe?

[cyryllis]

ok, have to add a post to explain the last one, since it is now apparent that you don't even read the articles that you link to and you most likely have the IQ of 60.

QUOTES DIRECTLY FROM YOUR SOURCE:

" A man convicted of killing his grandmother decades ago "

"Authorities do not know how Spengler, who died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound at the scene, obtained the weapon he used in Monday's shooting"

"convicted in 1981 of first-degree manslaughter"

Pickering said. "I think there are still people that need to be in institutions that are a danger to themselves or others. And this is a classic example."



So let me get this straight- ex-con already convicted of murder commits a crime with illegally obtained weapon, goes crazy and shoots people.

We have millions of guns in our country in the hands of people who know how to properly handle them. Shootings as sad for everyone involved and bring up a lot of emotions- many of which are misappropriated towards laws.

People simply have a hard time accepting the fact that in a world with billions of people, you are going to have horrible things like this happen. Globalized media has a really great way of making it seem like these things are a common occurrence. I am upset by these events as much as the next guy, but I have the common sense to see how laws only impact people willing to follow them.

oh i read it, and the parts you quoted were the parts that stuck out the most to me, and if you had any reading comprehension skills(like you claim i dont) and paid attention at all to the other points ive made in this thread then you would understand why i found this link to be relevant. there is absolutely no reason on earth why this guy should even have been out of jail, let alone have access to firearms, where the fuck were his probation officers? were they not routinely checking his house to make sure he did not possess these guns? our entire system is one gigantic failure after another. this is just further evidence that our criminal justice system, mental health system, and finally our dependence on firearms is a complete and utter failure. again i must stress, i dont think we should ban all guns, just make it harder for crazy fucks like this guy to get them. if that means keeping them locked up then so fucking be it. if it means that if you have ever had any kind of mental illness you should NEVER have access to a firearm. will this stop sane people from snapping? no. will this stop people from obtaining guns illegally? no..... but its better than just sitting around with our thumbs up our ass waiting for the next fucking massacre to happen
