I dont care if this is unethical or im being too blunt.

Social outcasts with criminal records and poor mental health need to be cut out of society. They are unwanted.

Less people you dimwit...... China has more than THREE TIMES as many stabbings as the US, know why? Because that is the most deadly common weapon people can find... what will banning knives do? Make people use shovels instead..ban shovels? Get my point? You antigun people are ignorant (proven fact here) in that banning guns will just make people use the next most deadly thing they can find. Its people killing people, not guns killing people. Besides, he had ILLEGAL GUNS, untracable to BAN! DURRR

Yea because criminals totally follow laws ?

[motormouth465]

And blindanddumb you are so wrong!! A man with a knife if a school could do just as much damage as a man with a gun and if you don't think so the you obviously are nothing close to a man

[motormouth465]

Has nothing to do with gun laws!!!! Lets be real take my guns away and ill still find away to kill.. why don't we take away the right to have human arms ? I mean surgically remove your arms because if it comes down to it a man can kill with his hands just as easy

[Blindanddumb]

you gonna have to repeat my post, because i wont repeat myself.

Um guy a week ago a psychopath stabbed a bunch of toddlers at a preschool with a knife, even with China's insane military police state, so the government either brainwashed someone into murdering kids for political power, or they look the other way when an organic psychopath springs up.

[foresakenlion]

Sounds like he was committing suicide... and you tried to stop him.

[Blindanddumb]

ok, where do i start... ?

firstly, when did china become a western nation? besides that, compare their population to yours, they have 3 more times of anything...

and yes, banning guns will muggers and psycopaths make get axes and bushknives instead, which will result in a schoolrun with 2 injured instead of 26 killed...

[leeo268]

lol you are right. 4000 dead from gun violence every year in US.

Reality is even more sad. Maybe, I should just get some gun to protect myself instead of fighting for gun control pointlessly, fuken gun companies lobby the government into submission already.

how could "gun control" it possible be to protect us, how the fuck is disarming a civilian to protect them? I dont exactly see our law enforcement/military disarming so how could it possibly be to rid society of firearms, when they keep there firearms? They kill civilians why are there firearms not under attack from you tyranny supporting gun grabbers? Oh thats right they are the good guys because they have a uniform, and they are everywhere all the time to protect everyone, wait no they aren't
