This guy had a pistol and not an "assault rifle" yet people here are already calling for more restrictions. Tragedy will always be with us and no matter what restrictions they attempt to pass it will never be enough. My thoughts go out to all the victims of this tragic event.

And let's not ponder the heat earth of the universe cthulu2016 Aug 2012 #4

Not at all. IMO, the conditions led to the mass murder. Timothy McVeigh used a bomb, not a gun, AnotherMcIntosh Aug 2012 #6

And Lex Luthor used a giant robot cthulu2016 Aug 2012 #7

And I thought that we were talking about facts. AnotherMcIntosh Aug 2012 #13

Did you know that the common slug leaves a trail of slime behind it DainBramaged Aug 2012 #8

My words speak for themselves. You are misrepresenting what I said. AnotherMcIntosh Aug 2012 #11

And thanks one last time for defending 2A in the face of this tragedy DainBramaged Aug 2012 #12

You made a false accusation in your other post (#6). And now you are making false accusations in AnotherMcIntosh Aug 2012 #14

And in the wake of his attack, restrictions were passed on the materials he used. jeff47 Aug 2012 #47

IMO - it was a hateful moron picking up a gun and shooting people that led to the mass murder. geckosfeet Aug 2012 #70

all that stuff gets talked about here a lot Whisp Aug 2012 #31

Not by the OP! Not in this thread by the anti-gun OP. AnotherMcIntosh Aug 2012 #35

Most of us around here can walk and chew gum at the same time. Zoeisright Aug 2012 #40

When causation is the topic and the anti-gun posters neither express any sympathy AnotherMcIntosh Aug 2012 #52

First, we are capable of multitasking. jeff47 Aug 2012 #46

That's odd bill Clinton seems to think 1994 was ALL ABOUT guns Trunk Monkey Aug 2012 #66

Again, polling from the time does not agree jeff47 Aug 2012 #74

You're argument isn't with me it's with Mr. Clinton. NT Trunk Monkey Aug 2012 #75

No, it's with you. You're the one trying to use Clinton as a human shield. (nt) jeff47 Aug 2012 #84

it was the health care law that cost the Democrats - not gun control samsingh Aug 2012 #80

Absolutely right. Thanks for posting this. Clinton seems to have some expertise in this area. AnotherMcIntosh Aug 2012 #83

It's not a "gun tragedy", it's a human tragedy. The guns performed just as they were designed to. Electric Monk Aug 2012 #2

And thanks for defending thet 2A once again..... DainBramaged Aug 2012 #10

I don't use personal tragedy as an excuse to strip the rights of others Reasonable_Argument Aug 2012 #15

I'm not a hypocrite, I am anti 2A since day one DainBramaged Aug 2012 #16

My post was directed at many here not just you as I stated Reasonable_Argument Aug 2012 #20

Once I put the gun rights defenders on ignore, this thread shortened up fast DainBramaged Aug 2012 #28

If you're tired of listening to them, hughee99 Aug 2012 #53

Then why did you bother to start this thread? HappyMe Aug 2012 #77

I was responding to his post Reasonable_Argument Aug 2012 #23

Right, defending the 2A in spite of the tragedy... who would have thunk it? DainBramaged Aug 2012 #24

Just trying to give people who wish to strip our rights some perspective Reasonable_Argument Aug 2012 #25

If the limit is "arbitrary", how can you call it "sensible"? petronius Aug 2012 #60

Non sequitur aside, this is a classic example of why these discussions go nowhere. Warren Stupidity Aug 2012 #72

Actually, this is a perfect example of what I said to you in the other thread, petronius Aug 2012 #81

Yada yada yada DainBramaged Aug 2012 #37

If you are insinuating something, you should come out and say it. Marinedem Aug 2012 #42

Nope our conversation ends here. I am anti 2A, you obviously are pro paranoia DainBramaged Aug 2012 #49
