Ohhhhhhh I get it! You think GUNS do these things not people. Hunh The Straight Story Jan 2014 #13

Every single one of these stories have one thing in common, they all involve a gun Bjorn Against Jan 2014 #15

And, again, what percent do so - and how do you map that to all others? The Straight Story Jan 2014 #16

I never said anything about all gun owners, you are completely misrepresenting my position Bjorn Against Jan 2014 #21

So how do we end it Duckhunter935 Jan 2014 #27

I don't have all the answers, but we can start with getting rid of some of the NRA written laws Bjorn Against Jan 2014 #29

you mean fully funding and enforcing existing laws Duckhunter935 Jan 2014 #31

Those taking the exams will fund them with fees Bjorn Against Jan 2014 #33

Sure, yeah. However, every single murder, ever, in history had one thing in common. NYC_SKP Jan 2014 #52

guns make killing faster, easier than almost anything else CreekDog Jan 2014 #45

No, governments, corporations, and defense budgets make killing faster, easier than almost anything. NYC_SKP Jan 2014 #48

I did read it, but Skinner never said we need to go to him for approval every time news breaks Bjorn Against Jan 2014 #8

so its not really big news Duckhunter935 Jan 2014 #10

It is very big news, do you really think all those deaths are not news? Bjorn Against Jan 2014 #12

Sad to say but this just seems like everyday news and I am all for stricter gun regulations Packerowner740 Jan 2014 #42

To actually get that, it needs to stay visible, not hidden. Hoyt Jan 2014 #54
