Watch out, no mourning for the dead allowed [View all] BainsBane Jun 2015 OP

I'm a bit taken aback at how many people are so quick to say "heal". HEAL? nc4bo Jun 2015 #1

Right on! Ed Suspicious Jun 2015 #13

So what, then? What do we do? nolabear Jun 2015 #21

We are afraid to even broach the topic. Why is that? nc4bo Jun 2015 #36

I think you're right. We have to keep talking and stop yelling. nolabear Jun 2015 #78

"We are afraid to even broach the topic. Why is that?" Spitfire of ATJ Jun 2015 #173

We vote for politicians who will fight against the NRA. MoonRiver Jun 2015 #190

I don't really have it in me to fight with you or anyone right now... CTyankee Jun 2015 #10

I hear you, TheCowsCameHome Jun 2015 #14

So emotionally attacking gun owners is an appropriate response on such an occasion? hack89 Jun 2015 #24

Sadness, and anger with gunners are both totally reasonable and can and should exist simultaneously HERVEPA Jun 2015 #26

Because every gun owner is responsible? hack89 Jun 2015 #30

Because you don't need the fucking guns. HERVEPA Jun 2015 #33

That is the beauty of civil rights - need has nothing to do with it. hack89 Jun 2015 #39

I agree that you're clearly in love with your guns HERVEPA Jun 2015 #45

And again, need has nothing to do with firearm ownership, GGJohn Jun 2015 #140

There are good reasons gun control is a smoking wreck in America hack89 Jun 2015 #35

Why does it upset you to see people attacking geek tragedy Jun 2015 #38

It is hard to be upset from where I stand hack89 Jun 2015 #46

I don't think gun control has ever been given a real chance. hrmjustin Jun 2015 #40

What in your mind is "gun control" ? nt hack89 Jun 2015 #47

Assault weapons ban for one. hrmjustin Jun 2015 #49

Why? hack89 Jun 2015 #53

Why should people be allowed such weapons? hrmjustin Jun 2015 #55

That is not an answer hack89 Jun 2015 #58

Why wouod you want it or need it? hrmjustin Jun 2015 #59

Because it is the most common rifle used for competitive target shooting hack89 Jun 2015 #62

I assure you as a gay man who has fought all my life for my rights that I understand how hrmjustin Jun 2015 #63

Then your hypocrisy is appalling. Nt hack89 Jun 2015 #64

Your advocacy for assalt weapons is appalling. hrmjustin Jun 2015 #66

+1 ThoughtCriminal Jun 2015 #77

What's an assault weapon? GGJohn Jun 2015 #86

Nice try. A for effort. hrmjustin Jun 2015 #88

Well, it is the truth, GGJohn Jun 2015 #92

Why should we have to justify why we want or need it? GGJohn Jun 2015 #82

Because they are obscene! hrmjustin Jun 2015 #84

What precisely makes them "obscene"? N/T beevul Jun 2015 #85

If you don't know i can not help you. hrmjustin Jun 2015 #87

Hey bud, its your viewpoint. beevul Jun 2015 #91

Well bud I think most on thix site get it. hrmjustin Jun 2015 #95

Thats not an explanation. beevul Jun 2015 #99

It is reality. hrmjustin Jun 2015 #102

Obscene is in the eyes of the beholder. GGJohn Jun 2015 #89

Can you defend not giving people the right to nukes? hrmjustin Jun 2015 #90

I don't need to defend an obvious ridiculous meme. eom. GGJohn Jun 2015 #94

Maybe because you agree with not allowing citizens the right to have these arms. hrmjustin Jun 2015 #98

Of course there are restrictions on the 2A, I've never said otherwise, GGJohn Jun 2015 #101

And *that* is why such legislation fails. X_Digger Jun 2015 #96

Fighting for assault weapons has nothing to do with civil rights. hrmjustin Jun 2015 #100

But someone involved in a civil rights struggle should surely know the criteria for restrictions. nt X_Digger Jun 2015 #104

I favor the Clinton ban on assault weapons. Should never had been allowed to expire. hrmjustin Jun 2015 #106

Right.. it resulted in turning over congress to the Repugnicans and increased AR-15 sales. X_Digger Jun 2015 #107

I would have kept the ban in place. hrmjustin Jun 2015 #108

Why? GGJohn Jun 2015 #110

Assult weapons are obscene. hrmjustin Jun 2015 #112

What's the difference in firing rates Duckhunter935 Jun 2015 #181

I have no clue. hrmjustin Jun 2015 #183

None is the correct answer Duckhunter935 Jun 2015 #185

Ok. hrmjustin Jun 2015 #186

So you're for selling more of them? (You do realize that the 'ban' was cosmetic, right?) X_Digger Jun 2015 #111

Make the ban stronger then. hrmjustin Jun 2015 #113

Lets hear your suggestion. X_Digger Jun 2015 #114

Anything that spews out a lot of bullets in a second or two should likely be banned. hrmjustin Jun 2015 #116

That's mighty vague. I can't address a vague proposal other than to say.. X_Digger Jun 2015 #118

Well it is my opinion. hrmjustin Jun 2015 #119

You're absolutely entitled to it. X_Digger Jun 2015 #121

Ok. hrmjustin Jun 2015 #123

So you would ban something you know nothing about? eom. GGJohn Jun 2015 #120

Yes. I would ban assult weapons. hrmjustin Jun 2015 #122

So you would ban GGJohn Jun 2015 #124

I don't know the names of guns. hrmjustin Jun 2015 #125

Ok, we'll agree to disagree. GGJohn Jun 2015 #126

Did you mean to address the other person? GGJohn Jun 2015 #138
