"at least they have a chance to fight back...." Nuclear Unicorn May 2014 #8

Are you in knife fights often? VanillaRhapsody May 2014 #21

Were the people who were stabbed "in knife fights often"? N/T beevul May 2014 #23

How do you know it was a fight? VanillaRhapsody May 2014 #24

Yes, I'm sure they just layed down and said "kill me". beevul May 2014 #26

or they could have been asleep....You should quit. Why didn't three men overpower his scrawny ass? VanillaRhapsody May 2014 #27

Aww. beevul May 2014 #29

Clearly I WASN'T talking about Dorner.... VanillaRhapsody May 2014 #64

But he was... SQUEE May 2014 #65

"But he was..." Nuclear Unicorn May 2014 #68

Sorry, SQUEE May 2014 #69

None needed, my friend. Nuclear Unicorn May 2014 #74

Ah, the ol' I-reject-your-reality-and-substitute-my-own defense. Nuclear Unicorn May 2014 #66

NO....quite the opposite actually....YOU are the one that is not accepting reality..... VanillaRhapsody May 2014 #67

This sub-thread began because the Pohis rejected the reality that Rodger stabbed people. Nuclear Unicorn May 2014 #73

Yes a mentally ill person had EASY access to weapons of this sort...period...THAT should not happen VanillaRhapsody May 2014 #75

Two things. blueridge3210 May 2014 #81

No, the mentally ill should not have access to weapons. Nuclear Unicorn May 2014 #82

Yoohoo... beevul May 2014 #84

How often are you in traffic accidents? Do you always where your seat belt? Nuclear Unicorn May 2014 #46

those are called Common Sense Car Regulations.... VanillaRhapsody May 2014 #48

Common sense says it's better to have a gun in a knife fight. Nuclear Unicorn May 2014 #60

And how exactly were the people he RAN OVER with his vehicle supposed to fight back? LAGC May 2014 #16

it was falling before NFA gejohnston May 2014 #56

Yes and the car has more regulations than any gun EVER VanillaRhapsody May 2014 #25

actually, not true gejohnston May 2014 #30

Can you or can you NOT drive a Nascar or Formula One car on the streets? VanillaRhapsody May 2014 #32

When it comes to guns, "on the street" is code for "what you can own". beevul May 2014 #35

You can own it.....but as soon as you try to use it....even at a race track...You ARE regulated! VanillaRhapsody May 2014 #50

No. Just no. beevul May 2014 #70

Yes...Just yes.... VanillaRhapsody May 2014 #71

or gejohnston May 2014 #38

You just don't get it. beevul May 2014 #76

No...your problem is...I do get it! VanillaRhapsody May 2014 #77

What you think isn't my problem... beevul May 2014 #78

I never suggested such a thing....my problem is we do NOT regulate them common sensibly! VanillaRhapsody May 2014 #80

Don't presume to be lecturing anyone on common sense. beevul May 2014 #83

Albert Eisenstein defined it best gejohnston May 2014 #85
