Lily Habtu (shot in the face during the Va Tech massacre): CLOSE THE GUNSHOW LOOPHOLE

[wenn607]

Even if I did own a gun and did what most of the gun owners who obey the law say they do with the guns they own, I'd be killed. I would have to get my key, take it out of the cabinet add ammo, and load it. We wouldn't want the kids to harm themselves, right?

[Phalanx3800]

Emotional bullshit from this woman.

The world is a nasty, unforgiving place and it is full of disgusting vile people who wish to infringe on someone's rights. That is why we have the 2nd Amendment. Gun crime has very little to do with guns you libtard idiots. It has to do with the prohibition on narcotics which did nothing but escalate crime.

My right to own a firearm is a moot point. End the war on drugs and watch gun crime go down.

[Tan1723]

Not trying to be mean, BUT, she shouldn't come the U.S. and only after staying here for the low amount of years she has and then suddenly be preaching about American gun laws. Also, a back ground check wouldn't have helped in the murderer's case seeing that we never had committed any crimes in the past.

[lovingit1000]

@Tan1723 - Sometimes people who live outside of an environment are better at seeing the problems than those who are deep in the environment.

[shananagans5]

@lovingit1000 And sometimes reading 100s of studies on the subject gives you a better idea of whats going on than 1 persons tragic but emotional reaction.

[lovingit1000]

@shananagans5 - 100s studies written by the same biased organizations leave you with a lopsided head, nothing else. There is something to be said about being an immigrant. You aren't stuck with baggage that needs to be let go, but you are too caught up in it to see it.

[shananagans5]

@lovingit1000 You do know there is an entire body of crininology literature that illustrates quite well that gun laws do not reduce violent crime? These are real studies, not emotional opinions put out by places like Brady campaign. Ever wonder why Brady Campaign or Protest Easy Guns never cite a real study? They give a stat in a vacuum or tell an emotional story because thats all they have. We all want less violent crime. Doesn't it make sence to take advantage of the scientific evidence?

[lovingit1000]

@shananagans5 - Hardly could care about your supposed literature. I have lived in environments where there was gun control and there was less crime. There was less crime also because people cared about other people and built schools instead of prisons. You create an environment of fear, you create an environment of violence. Guns will not protect you. But, if you stop being selfish, it might. 

[shananagans5]

@lovingit1000 So you reject scientific evidence based on your perception? Are you serious about reducing violent crime or are you stuck on an emotional quest? I totally agree a diff environment where people care reduces crime but how do you get there? Are you willing to allow the violent crime rate to be 5% or 10% higher so you can stick to your love everyone ideals? How many inocent vics are in that 5%? That's alot of women needlessly assaulted. Is it worth it to have a good idealistic feeling

[lovingit1000]

@shananagans5 - One man's "scientific evidence" is another man's B.S.

Giving all children a good education, work opportunities, and a reason to hope will do more to bring down crime rates than any gun. How often do you volunteer? Or do you just sit inside your house all day with a gun waiting for the boogeyman to get you?

[shananagans5]

@lovingit1000 Seriously, turning your back on something known to reduce violent crime because it doesnt fit into an idealistic society is amazing. Criminals understand fear. Its a sad statement but its true. Yea it would be nice if there wasnt someone roaming the street looking to assault someone right now but there is. Turning your back on a way for people to defend themselves or prevent a crime is as bad as communists saying they are creating a workers paradise while millions starve to death.

[lovingit1000]

@shananagans5 - You are more likely to be killed with your own gun by somebody that you love than you are to be killed by someone roaming in the street.

You seem to be the one living in fear...maybe that's why you need a gun.

I defend myself by trying to make the country a better place. I don't "defend" myself by creating policies similar to those in third world nations and then needing to live in gated-communities with guns and bodyguards because of the policies that I have created.

[twombonu]

@lovingit1000 You just shot yourself in the foot! From my point of view as a European, I can assure you that guns made America great, and that is one reason I am not going back to France, oui, monsieur!

[dreadedwheat26]

stupid fucking american gun laws.

[9nunyabiz9]

Another video that is pure bullshit!

[12FlyMe]

If getting rid of guns would make us safer - great! But if only the bad guys have guns, we are screwed.

Imagine if the slaves had guns -- Robert E Lee and Jeff Davis would think twice about whipping them, selling their children.

Cruel evil men, like slavers, murderers, rapers, will always abuse power if they can.

Get a gun. Scum like Lee, Davis, murderers, suddenly think twice -- and will treat you much better.

[9nunyabiz9]

@12FlyMe What a fucking ignorant and racist comment, you delusional bitch!

[cooliovasquez]

@12FlyMe robert e lee never owned a slave.

[12FlyMe]

@cooliovasquez are you fucking mental? Yes, dumb fuck, he owned over 100. He not only owned them, he tortured them. We know from his own account books, in his own handwriting, that he paid six times the normal bounty he usually paid, for the capture of a 14 year old slave girl, who had a very light skinned baby.

He screamed at here while he had her tortured, then sold her baby. See "Reading the Man - Robert E Lee's personal papers" by Elizabeth Pryor, and get back to me,

[cooliovasquez]

@12FlyMe lies

[12FlyMe]

@cooliovasquez Wrong you retarded fuck. Go read the book "Reading the Man" by Pryor you stupid fuck,

Lee's own handwritten account books -- his personal letters, his own words tell a story of him torturing young girls, selling babies, and justifying it as Gods will,

He was a sociopath you dumb fuck

[cooliovasquez]

@12FlyMe No you.

[wenn607]

@12FlyMe There ARE bad guys and always will be. How are most(GOOD) people that have guns being protected?? Makes no sense to me. Do they carry them around everywhere they go with a finger on the trigger waiting for a tragedy? Paranoia!

[wenn607]

I agree with Lily Habtu. Also, a gun in a home is 7 times more likely to be used in a criminal assult or homicide than to be used to injure or kill in self defense. Sourse: Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence. God Bless America

[Phalanx3800]

@wenn607 Stupid as all hell. Everything the brady campaign states as statistics has been debunked.

I can understand and respect someone who wishes to see firearms ownership in America more restrictive or outright banned, but dont cite lies and idiocy from a dubious organization like brady to back yourself up.

[DontTreadOnMeVa]

Sorry, but your fear of guns is not more importaint than my right to defend myself and my loved ones.

It is a shame someone was not able to carry that day and save you from being a victim.

[Kabul81]

Lily

Sorry you were shot period but also sorry you and your fellow students did not have weapons to defend your selves,unfortunately the police or the Govt.

cannot protect you as a personal bodyguard might so it is up to you to protect your self and your family ! JMAN

[foobarturkey]

no responsible gun laws?

[damarei]

So basically, your emotions should dictate how I conduct myself?
