At Least 27 Dead In School Shooting

  • 18 of which are children. 5-10 year olds. Go tell the parents of those kids that guns don't kill people. Something has to be done about the abundance of guns in this country.

    I didn't politicize it idiot. It has been since the beginning and it should be. I'm sick of this "this isn't the time to talk about guns" every time this happens, which seems to be becoming monthly. Now is exactly the time to talk about guns in this country. While the result of gun violence is still fresh on everyones minds. Of course you're going to pull that card because that's what the right always says when they don't want to talk about something.

  • Guns don't kill people. People kill people.

    When the nation went after drunk driving we didn't do it by taking away cars, we did it by educating and penalizing those who did it. Besides, you can make all the laws you want and just like the one that says you can't murder people, it did nothing to stop this.

    You did politicize it, dumbass. The smell of gun powder hadn't even left the air and you're talking about gun control! What's your solution, genius? Get rid of all the guns? How are u going to do that? Search each and every home and building and car in the country? That's the only way to completely take care of this problem. Is that what you're proposing? Its a total disregard for the constitution so something tells me you'd be all for it. People like you are what's wrong with this country. I'm guessing u like to have your butt pounded.

    That is exactly what I'm proposing.

    I have the answer. Make the right to bear arms null and void. Do house to house searches to confiscate every gun in this country. Make a federal law that possession of a gun of any kind is illegal punishable by an instant death penalty. No trial. No years of appeals. Just take em out back and put a bullet in their brain. Then send a bill to the family for the bullet used. Yeah people would die but it would be moronic gun nut nra type people instead of 5 year old children. Do those things and you'd start seeing these random mass shootings of the innocent end pretty damn quick.

    Also institute the same instant death penalty on those that profit from glamorizing violence in movies, music, video games etc. And I've been a huge free speech guy regarding that. Not anymore. If you're going to use that voice to advocate, glamorize, and profit from violence, murder, and death you deserve no voice. Literally. This shit has to stop by any means necessary.

  • There are multiple problems with our society that we need to fix and if we are honest about it, there are probably common sense solutions that can be found. To just say this is a gun problem is to ingore all the other contributing factors to a tragedy like this. Yes, there are probably some of the gun laws that need to be looked at BUT until we fix the societal problems at large, the de-valuing of life, a culture that is crass and promotes violence from music, to entertainment to games etc, then we will NOT prevent this from happening again. There is much more to this mass butchering of innocent people than guns!

    I agree. Most of these shootings come from the mentally ill. There is basically no stop gap for mentally ill children. Especially poor ones. These mental illnesses usually start happening in the teen years. If we could weed them out and get them the help they need early it would cut down on these slaughters. Of course that would take taxpayer dollars and some don't believe in taxpayer dollars paying for anything.

    Compare the US to any other industrialized country regarding gun violence you moron. Comparing the countries is apples to oranges considering one is gun nut capital and the other has common sense gun laws. Sorry I didn't make a cracker jack comparison like guns to cars.

    Making light of 5 year olds being massacred. You're officially slime. Actually the mother was a gun nut that loved shooting. The same type you're defending. Too bad he didn't just stop at her.

    I'm not law enforcement. I'd let them handle it. And I'd hope you'd fight. Of course I'm sure you're the typical gun loving pussy that is so scared to get an ass whoopin fighting like a man you need a gun.

    Mike. People survive knife attacks at a much higher rate than gun attacks. Here's an example. And that is not a solid argument. And for the record you're wrong. The USA is ranked 6th in knife mortality. Japan is ranked 10th.

    This guy used an assualt rifle. That weapon has one purpose. To kill people. It's for the military and police. The people that support these weapons being legal and available for the public are just as guilty as the shooter.

    22 Kids Slashed in China Elementary School Knife Attack - ABC News

    Chinese policemen show teachers and school workers how to defend themselves during an attack, at a school in Beijing on April 29, 2010. Authorities across China have ordered stepped-up security at schools and increased police patrols near campuses after a wave of knife attacks targeting children. (AFP/Getty Images) What was supposed to be another day of learning at an elementary school in central China instead turned to one of terror, as a man slashed 22 children and one adult with a knife. The injuries were gruesome, and reportedly include cut-off fingers and ears,

    Japan is a police state? rotfl!!! You just get dumber and dumber. By your logic every country that has a restriction on guns is a police state. In other words every other industrialized country in the world is a police state. Like Canada, Britian, France etc. What fantasy land do you live in? Do you even visit reality sometimes?

    My sentiments exactly... +1 DA

    I can't believe he's using this sad tragedy to bait a gun law discussion, but what the hell... I'll bite anyway.

    "Guns don't kill people... PEOPLE KILL PEOPLE". The way I see it, there should have been MORE guns in that school... an abundance of guns didn't have a damn thing to do with it. Anyone who thinks otherwise is a complete idiot. Maybe if there were more teachers, security guards or other staff members packing some heat, they could have saved the lives of those precious children... by killing the only piece of shit who deserved it that day.

    Here's a bright idea... let's all give up our guns, stop manufacturing guns, stop selling guns, make it illegal to possess a gun, etc. Then, there would be absolutely NO WAY this kind of thing could ever happen again... because there would be NO WAY a "criminal" could get his hands on a gun and go on a killing spree ever again. Brilliant. YEAH RIGHT!!! Only a DAMN FOOL would believe that line of garbage.

    What's it gonna take to get through the thick skulls of you morons that "criminals" don't (and will NEVER) give a rats ass about any gun laws. Anyone who is sick enough to commit these kinds of acts, will ALWAYS figure out a way to get what they need. Are you people so foolish to think that someone who is willing to MURDER, would allow any gun law to stop them? Dear Lord.

    How would that work... "I really need gun so I can KILL people, but now there's a law saying I can't have a gun... and I REEEALLY don't wanna get in trouble for breaking any laws. Damn... now I have to let those people live. THAT SUCKS!"

    Yeah... I feel SOOO much safer now. coffee

    Absolutely f'ing amazing.... only a dumbass would post something like ^THAT^ while glamorizing violence and murder in his own personal "SIG"!

    Way to go asswipe... you just sentenced yourself to the death penalty. lol

    It don't get more ironic, stupid, funny, sad (and many other mixed emotions) than that? coffee

  • Carl, why do you want power taken from the weak? Guns are the great equalizer. There is no other weapon that equals the playing field for the ladies I work for in the nursing home and these thugs running around trying to harm them. Tell women who have fought off would-rapists because they had a gun should go to prison. You're an idiot Carl.I can't believe that u have that much faith in your gov't and police force to keep u safe. Completely asinine. Please don't procreate. You're killing this country with every breath you take with your stupid little face.

    Dude, you should have been fvcking aborted, seriously. I bet you'd fit right in with the Westboro Baptist Church morons, too. There's still the fact that some psycho son of a bitch cut 22 children up with a knife.. sure it wasn't a gun, but it's the same GD thing. Violence.

    Why does Carl want anything? Oh, I know... because he's incapable of thinking for himself, so he only "wants", "says", "does" or "believes" whatever he hears from that big garbage dump, known as the Liberal party. He's a loyal sheep, who worships all left wing talking (spinning) heads... and will always copy, repeat, do or say anything that "they" do. It's all he knows... education and common sense never even knew he existed. He's been lost all of his life.

    I guess you can say Carl is just one of those people who slipped through the crack... OF A JACKASS!!!
