Re: School Shooting Season in Session
Guys, no need to make sinister remarks. Remember some kids were killed.... it is very sad indeed.
Fraudia, strict gun control is not going to resolve any of these problems.
Re: School Shooting Season in Session
Another case for having strict gun control laws.
................. but will they ever..............???
Re: School Shooting Season in Session
Fraudz bhai - I don’t get one point clear. You live in US & you are a lot familiar than me or any other non US guppy. How can you say NRA will tighten the noose, the last time clinton tried, I remember NRA going all guns against it. NRA is a very strong lobby, if I’m not mistaken. Even cars kill…no wait, morons behind cars kill…so that doesn’t mean curb driving licenses…???

Re: School Shooting Season in Session
any of which problems?
a normal guy going berserk and shooting kids in a school sure, but gun toting gangbangers may be reduced.
If only it was done sooner Tupac would still be alive ![]()
Re: School Shooting Season in Session
Mal1k, you are completely mistaken, where and when did I say that the NRA would tighten the noose.
Re: School Shooting Season in Session
So, you a big Tu-Pack(s) fan? :)
Re: School Shooting Season in Session
No but i feel the pain of all tupac fans :D
Re: School Shooting Season in Session
Whilst I'm in favour of strict gun control, using cases like this to advocate it undermines the cause of gun control.
This man, like the Montreal college shooter did, would have been legally able to get a registered gun. You might argue that maybe he should not be allowed to get a powerful gun, but the way he tied up his victims, even a hunting rifle or common shotgun would have been enough. Heck... he could have killed them with an air rifle in their condition.
Gun control must use better examples. The goal of gun control should be eliminating the illegal firearms, not the legally held ones that are involved in only a minority of crimes.
Re: School Shooting Season in Session
I agree with MS, the focus should be on removing illegal guns and enforcing laws currently on the books. In addition to that it's to the ban of automatic weapons which Bill Clinton did back in '94, it had a 10 year expiration date and Republicans allowed it expire rather than renew it. Second, it's time to close the gun show loopholes (no background checks ect).
In the future I see more guns on the streets as more state pass concealed weapons bills. This no doubt will happen quicker if a terrorist organization ever decides to start gunning-up public places. Right now that's not aQ's MO, gunning down a Wal-Mart (Wal-Martyrs?) isn't exactly spectacular and moving from 9/11 to that would be quite a step down and be seen as weak. That said, aQ might change direction or some jihadist copycats might make it their signature which will boom private ownerships of guns and fast track the passage of concealed laws, which is rather ironic. Good times.
Re: School Shooting Season in Session
legal or illegal, there is not place for guns in the society. In case someone really needs it, he should get a court order. We need stricter gun control in US.
Re: School Shooting Season in Session
I'm not going to argue against you. Often it's easier to get a gun then it is to get a drivers license.
Re: School Shooting Season in Session
Fraudia bhai, my baddd. I was actually trying to say that even if the president does tighten the noose on guns, it just wont happen. I know for a fact that NRA is very strong & it will take ages before any strict gun law is passed in USA.
Re: School Shooting Season in Session
agreed, but it needs to be done..
..maybe the current scare tactic would work..alkayda cells will get em so lets ban em..
..next day its banned..
Re: School Shooting Season in Session
Nope it still wont work. Coz I remember, there was a shooting incident inside the airport around 2002 & it was a Muslim guy, who opened fire in the Israeli check in area. Did guns still get banned…??? Nope.
I think guns will remain for a very long time, coz its a culture I guess.
