ultraholland: John Dewey: And this is precisely why I see gun ownership as a selfish act. You feel safer and yet endanger the lives of unknown innocents.

This makes zero sense.

What do you think Nancy Lanza owned guns?

1. Hobby
2. Safety
3. Collector
4. ?????

She owned them for one of the three reasons most often given. She had zero intention of using them to harm. She had zero intention of letting someone else use them to harm. And yet, they were used to kill 27 people including herself and one asshole.

She wanted one of those three things and chose those over the potential danger. And anyone who currently own guns and continue to purchase guns is doing the same.

Responsible gun ownership is an oxymoron.

ARM THE COMA PATIENTS

That's convenient for the ambulance drivers.

Thus making today too soon to discuss this.

Generation_D: Happy 221st Birthday Second Amendment. God Bless well-regulated militias everywhere.

You know, the bill of rights is just a piece of paper. If enough of us think gun ownership is too stupid to handle, with too many negative consequences, for too many people, we could amend it. Been done before.

Paramedics responding to the scene found nearly 1,000 injured people.

"Nurse, scalpel. Thank you. Clamp. GUN."

*BLAMMO!*

"Thank you. Pressure here."

Well, SOMEBODY didn't like The Hobbit.

cameroncrazy1984: Dancin_In_Anson: cameroncrazy1984: Yes. Because who knows who else he would've shot.

And had the same happened with the cop, would he have been a dumbass cop? Since we're dealing in the land of what ifs and all.

Yes. See, I have this weird thing wherein I trust people with formal training more than nuts. But hey, that's just me.

Ha! You haven't hung around with a bunch of cops before, have you?

/they have some real winners in their ranks too, Johnny

ToxicMunkee: Arm all the doctors and nurses, stat!

You are thinking too small. Everybody over the age of 18 15 12 needs to be armed, all the time. It's the only way to insure that we are safe.

From one of yesterday's threads. What_now was overly optimistic, it seems.

whither_apophis: So Obama gets reelected... suddenly a bunch of shootings happen... then the next thing you know he'll want to take away all our guns... OMG!!!

/sorry took off the tinfoil hat for a moment.

There were a bunch of people at Midway airport last night talking about how it's all a government conspiracy to blame it on a secret cult of secret gunmen that are trying to appear individual but are actually all in a group, to cover up the fact that it's actually the government shooting people.

I wanted to punch them in their faces so hard. SO HARD.

Mark Ratner: The Mayan apocalypse has begun.

Pretty sure the Spanish had the Mayan apocalypse wrapped up by the end of 1697.

Well, I'm going to go drive my gun to the store. Hope there's enough room in the chamber for the groceries.

John Dewey: NotoriousFire: Second amendment already justifies a gun owners "need" to own. You need to justify your point - the US Bill of Rights justifies against your point.

The Bill of Rights justified owning a musket.

This was bound to happen since we've systematically removed Mike Huckleberry's God™ from all the hospitals.

Molavian: Generation_D: Molavian: Gosling: I'm fairly certain that a gun is the opposite of a hospital.

Doctor's mistakes kill more people than guns do.

shiatty, huh?

Most of them aren't intending to do it. False equivalency is false.

Guns aren't intending to kill anyone, either.

WILL SOMEONE THINK OF THE INNOCENT GUNS?

So Obama gets reelected... suddenly a bunch of shootings happen... then the next thing you know he'll want to take away all our guns... OMG!!!

/sorry took off the tinfoil hat for a moment.

Weaver95: globalwarmingpraiser: This year has been crazy. WTF is wrong with people.

mayan apocalypse maybe?

Is it wrong that I was thinking that Dec. 21st is why the crazy is coming out of the woodwork recently. Not that I think anything will come of it but these assholes might.
