I won't tell you what kind of music it was, but it involved guns, a shootout, and taking a bullet to the chest.

Three guesses as to what he was listening to...

Bhangra.

Oh wait...no....maybe.....Old Macdonald?

in 2006 there were a reported 12,791 homicides caused by firearms

in that same year there were a reported 18,573 homicides cause by means other than firearms.

i partially agree with your statement , but i do have an issue with if you don't have an automatic ( which isn't what was used ) weapon the numbers aren't going to be near as high . it still boils down to the fact that the person is or has killed someone ( be it with a gun a knife a pipe bomb or a truck full of fertilizer and fuel ) . don't forget about people like the unibomber and timothy Mcvay ( no they weren't smelling the breath of the person or people they killed but they were still just as mentally troubled and the people were still just as dead ) . i don't really have any issues with the background check for firearms purchases ( as long as the regulations don't get to stupid ) , i believe that we as a society need to reduce the stigmata of having a mental disorder and the medical help for these people should be accessable to all who need it .

All I can do is sit here and think about all the dead beats who would not get out and vote for whatever lame reason they had.

Don't forget John Allen Muhammad. Whenever I hear the argument of "High Rate of Fire", "High Powered Rifle" or "Large capacity magazines", I think of the DC sniper. Yes he did use a Bushmaster, but he killed one shot at a time.

Banning Assault style weapons, and high capacity magazines may make everyone feel better right now, but it's not going to stop someone like the DC Sniper. Let's just hope nobody aspires to copycat his crimes.

You can still kill plenty of innocent people fairly quickly with a revolver and a lever action rifle.

Nice, but this one is better.

Economic stimulus!

A co-worker part-times at a gun shop out in the sticks. A good week for them is $3K. Lately they've been averaging $15K per day. There's no ammo left on the shelves. Home Depot is sold out of 6-inch PVC pipe; people are burying their guns.

I must say i am sick of all this shit.We have a group who uses statements like "even if we can save one life" to try and push gun control but yet will not stand against abortion.
That would save way the hell more than one life.I am sure lots will not agree with me but IMHO that's B.S.

Maybe they are stocking up on potato gun parts? Got to stock up before the government takes those as well.

Don't sweat it, there will be truck loads of guns, mags and bullets coming cross the boarder after the disarmament. You know the same ones that haul all the other completely illegal stuff.

OBAMA'S a piece of........I mean yea he's cool

[dezfan]

I keep going over Obama's EO's and the bill which passed in NY regarding changes in reporting by mental health professionals (including RN's and social workers) having the ability to report someone as (in their opinion) being a threat to themselves or others and thereby placed on a state registry, having their CCW revoked, and their fire arms seized without due process.


Instead of addressing one of the major issues behind so many of these shootings, Obama's EO's could actually prevent people who might seek out the help of a mental health professional do to the fear being falsely or mistakenly accussed.
