I was not surprised.

"So what could be more surprising than the 1st Battalion Transvestite Brigade? Airborne wing - the airborne wing parachuting into dangerous areas with fantastic makeup! And a fantastic gun. And the opposing forces going, “Fuckinell, look at these guys. Hey… Suckaaas. They’ve got guns! They’ve got guns! Jesus, wha - they’ve got guns!” Ahhh, bugger. ( Read more... )

Banning guns in the US wouldn't do much good in my opinion. The fact is...people who want guns to do bad WILL get guns to do bad. How many of those school shootings were done with legal, licenced guns? (I don't know the answer to that but if they were licensed, was it licensed to THAT person, is another question.)

If everyone is allowed to carry if they would like then it is more likely that if the guy walking down the street thinks ol' Granny might have a pistol in her purse he's going to think twice.

Admitedly, killing people who are shooting up a school sucks but they are killing people. They would (hopefully) rot in jail the rest of their miserable lives anyway for what they have done. I think that if the good guys had guns too then the bad guys wouldn't get so gun happy.

If there were a way to just get a BIG gun magnet and collect all the guns out of the US and keep them out then sure. No one should have guns. NO ONE. I think killing someone with a gun is cheating anyway. If you really want to kill someone...do it with your bare hands. Don't act like you want to hurt someone and end their life if you don't want to do it yourself. Shooting someone is almost like asking someone else to kill them for you. Holding a gun doesn't make you powerful, it makes you weaker than your poor victims pleading for their lives.

Away from that horribly morbid tangent, if guns weren't here at all I'd be ok, but they are...and the bad guys are going to get them no matter what. No matter what precautions. Adding more precautions only makes it harder for the good guys to get them. So I say...strap on your pistols and be on guard for the lives of the people you care about.

note: this isn't directed to anyone inparticular. my written words are much more powerful than my spoken ones and i will of course read arguments presented but don't give me, "U R dUmb! Gunz killllzz so ur gAy!"

p.s. Don't kill people. Love people.
