nekom: GAT_00: It's happened more than a few times since 9/11. Real Americans wanting to kill some scary brown people, and they're all the same. Fox says so.

In the days right after 9/11 I seem to recall someone being mistaken for a Muslim and beaten to death, and if memory serves me he was either a Sikh or of some other turban-wearing faith or at least `brown looking'. I'm not saying it would have been in any way right and proper had the victim actually been Muslim, but it does add another layer of idiocy to the crime.

No one in this country should have to apologize for `looking different' than the majority.

SRD: HotIgneous Intruder: KellyX: So how exactly would making them illegal stop criminals that use full-auto, not that many do anyhow.

But seriously, high-rate-of-fire weapons and high-cap mags need to be more controlled.
Would you rather be shot at by a guy with an AR-15 and a 100-round mag or a guy with a bolt action weapon with a six-round mag? High fire rates and high cap mags only increase a shooter's ability to kill and serve no other purpose.

Ok lets put this in perspective.

8000 people die a year in the USA from firearme homicide. That includes self defense of those 8000 that die 350 people are killed by rifles the ones you suggest banning most of those are hunting rifles that most likely are the ones you say should be allowed. So you want to ban the weapon least used in a crime.

Knives are used to kill in the usa about 1800 people a year far more than the weapons you want to ban. So why ban something that isnt much of a issue?

And my normal post of some of my weapons for people to realize just because you own weapons does not make one a killer. Over ten years of owning 0 illegal uses

One 9mm + intent does not equal a threat for an Aurura-Joker syle event.

But having more firepower than your state's National Guard puts "threat" a mere phychotic whimsy away.

My question is at what point does the gun fetish itself indicate a potential for such phychotic whimsy? Never? Sometimes?

Bloody William: While I want these things to stop and I think the Muslim-bashing right-wingers need to cool it to make these things less likely, I also think terrorism in all forms cannot be stopped with certainty. No violence can.

Let me give you a CSB parable. I have a cane. I don't use it often unless I sprain my ankle, but it's a cool cane, with a carbon fiber shaft and a machined aluminum head. When I walk through the city, I walk by hundreds of large glass windows every hour. There is nothing stopping me from swinging that cane into one of those windows and shattering it. I might be punished, my cane might be taken away, but that window will never be whole again. It will be replaced, but that glass was broken and nothing can put it back together.

How can you stop me from breaking that window? Put cops on every street corner ready to attack people who look like they might break windows? Unfeasible, and they probably couldn't stop me by the time I swung. Ban canes? I could use a stick, or a rock, or just punch the window and deal with the blood. Now people who have problems walking wouldn't be able to use canes in public and the window still isn't totally safe. There is no certain answer that is acceptable by our standards of morality and law. In the end, we just have to reduce the chances of people breaking windows to the best of our ability and accept that sometimes glass is going to crack. The alternative is far worse.

Well said.

After such events everyone always starts in with the "how do we make it so that there is no violence ever, society is going downhill, there were never murders before I was born" etc.

There are going to be X number of occurrences no matter what is done. I think that we have a pretty low incidence of such events already considering that there are lots of guns and lots of nutballs in this country who can very easily find a crowd of people.

Zizzowop: When I think about people that all need to be armed to protect themselves from crazies I think of that scene from Predator 2 on the subway when everyone had a gun.

Predator 2 was set in Los Angeles. California concealed weapons permits are issued on a "may issue" basis and only wealthy and politically connected individuals are able to obtain them. As such, the scenes depicted in the movie were entirely unrealistic; because of the strict restriction upon carrying firearms, obviously no one in Los Angeles is armed.

In the wrong hands guns can be the vehicle for some rather horrific events. As some have mentioned the vehicle to the devastation could be a poisoned water supply, motor vehicle, bombs, etc. Once we further regulate guns and lessen their impact another vehicle will surface as the number one mechanism for horrific events. Do we address that next?

The real issue here is the individual performing the horrific action. Take away guns and they will find another means. If we're going to trample on people's rights why not directly address the problem and not the symptom? Force everyone to be evaluated every 3 years by a team of trained professionals and have them identify the ones that pose threats. Those people could then be removed from society or put on a special watch list and required to regularly check in with an oversight agency. After all, we're only doing this for the greater good of society and the benefits of this minor inconvenience should clearly outweigh any erosion of personal freedom.

WTF Indeed: Mr. Coffee Nerves: So, if this is accurate, a guy who is so asstardedly brain-dead he couldn't even correctly identify the group he was so intent on hating considered himself "supreme?"

Personally, I blame the teachers unions for not teaching him the difference between Muslim and Sikh.


.this douchebag was a white supremacist essay.. I doubt the Aryan Brotherhood/RAHOWA 88 folks consider Sikhs best buddies and this was just an unfortunate case of mistaken identity/religion where the white power movement will now be filled with regrets and redemption!

I don;t understand why so many farkers think he may have had confused Sikhs with Muslims as if he made a terrible mistake because he genuinely had a lot of love for the local Hindus and Sikhs............(roll eyes)

Man, you think at some point they'd update to white power screamo or dubstep, but the skinhead part might suffer. Then again, Hitler had a pretty emo haircut.

Arkanaut: dittybopper: miss diminutive: Wade Michael Page

Can we just lock up everyone with three names right now and save ourselves the trouble?

Pretty much every one has three names. They commonly don't use them, even mass murderers and assassins, but the press generally does use all three names to differentiate "X Y Z" from all the other people named "X Z".

There are about 80,500 people with the last name "Page" in the US. Approximately .03% of US citizens are named "Wade", so we could expect that there would be at least 24 people in the US named "Wade Page". Adding that middle name would cut that confusion down to at most a couple people.

On the other hand, the media is still calling the Aurora "James Holmes", even though both the first and last names are fairly common. I've seen him referenced once as "James Egan Holmes", but that hasn't caught on.


I think it has more to do with having two first names. Egan is more of a last name.

GAT_00: Weaver95: GAT_00: Weaver95: GAT_00: Weaver95: GAT_00: Another mass shooting with a legal gun. Shocking.

obviously, we should pass more laws. or hey - how about tax cuts for the rich! both are equally effective in stopping deranged former veterans from going on a rampage with a gun.

Well since you don't like what it will take to stop innocent people from being killed, let's not do anything. Hell, let's celebrate these events! After all, how else can we know we're truly free?

humans kill other humans. that's just what we do. you cannot stop it no matter how many laws you pile up around us. in fact, trying to bury us in laws will only make more criminals out of otherwise peaceful and law abiding citizens. you will create more of the problem you are trying to solve.

Well then! Let's not even try to fix it. Clearly there isn't a problem here.

alrightie bright boy - lets here it. what's your grand plan from stopping humans from killing other humans. Keep in mind that your answer cannot violate the US constitution OR the bill of rights.

I love this bullshiat counter argument. Fix everything yourself, or don't you dare suggest there is anything wrong. You know what, if you're just going to stifle debate, you can go away. Nobody would miss you.


You have confused misrepresentation of Weaver95's request with a justification of your position. The two concepts, however, are not logically equivalent.

Vodka Zombie: GAT_00: nekom: GAT_00: It's happened more than a few times since 9/11. Real Americans wanting to kill some scary brown people, and they're all the same. Fox says so.

In the days right after 9/11 I seem to recall someone being mistaken for a Muslim and beaten to death, and if memory serves me he was either a Sikh or of some other turban-wearing faith or at least `brown looking'. I'm not saying it would have been in any way right and proper had the victim actually been Muslim, but it does add another layer of idiocy to the crime.

No one in this country should have to apologize for `looking different' than the majority.

According to NPR this morning, a Sikh council spokesperson said there have been 1000 documented attacks of varying degrees on Sikhs since 9/11. That's everything from a simple quick physical altercation up to stuff like this.

See? This is why the world should fear America. We are an ignorant and ARMED population. Those two things never make for anything but trouble.


The most advanced and powerful military the world has ever seen, some of the greatest scientists and industrial innovators the world has ever seen... And then there's this asshole, and plenty of others like him. I think the problem is that America thinks big, for better and for worse. Big ideas, big innovations, big industry and unfortunately, the world's biggest racist backwards jackwagons as well.

Couple all that with our unique history and present-day gun culture, the lack of proper attention paid to mental illness, the current political rhetoric and none of this is at all surprising. If it weren't for the human tragedy involved, it would be rather comical, really.

I heard that on the way in this morning. That "simple quick physical altercation" could consist of shoving someone, something that may or may not have actual bias at the heart of it. It could be *PERCEIVED* as motivated by bias, and reported as such, without that actually being the truth of the matter.

Also, it's pretty early in the investigation into this asshole who did the shooting. Don't jump to vast conclusions from half-vast data. Maybe the guy is a virulent racist skinhead. Maybe he isn't. Let's see what the FBI turns up.
