Where was our LAW ENFORCEMENT monday?


Did they stop Cho Seung Hui's execution of 32 INNOCENT people?




Sick and evil people will find a way to get guns......no matter if they are legal or not.

The USA is #8 in murders with a firearm per capita while they're #24 in total murders. Take a country like Russia who is #5 in total muders and yet they're not even in the top 30 for murders with firearms. People would still kill each other, gun control wouldn't help a damn bit.

250 years ago it was a completely different story....


Yeah, let's give the government complete control over who can have weapons, they'll be fair. That's how they squash the people and increase government control.

Fuck the law enforcement. We have just as many cops that get women to suck them off to get out of tickets and sell guns to minors as we do "good" cops.

I find that very insulting. As far as I'm concerned, those "jackasses," for all their faults, were very enlightened and liberal people who created what became the greatest country in the world. Frankly, I think the world would be a far shittier place if they had never gotten together and had the balls and the brains to form this country.

The police are not legally required to protect you, nor are they usually capable of protecting you. I've lived in neighborhoods where the cops were afraid to go. Remember that hurricane New Orleans? One third of the cops deserted, and the average person was fucked. The cops will not protect you. The government will not protect you. You are on your own.

By the way, why don't you take a wild guess as to what group of people was the first in America to be forbidden from owning guns. Do you really think that was about public safety?

The government-controlled gun policy has not done the squashed people of the UK any harm.

And I doubt very much that a lack of firearm to hand in a potentially violent situation will cause the same instant death to an individual. It's very easy to pull a trigger, much harder to swing a weapon - not to mention less likely to be fatal. Russia has its own agendas with regards to murder, America has others - and it is the gun culture, the glamour, the pride which leads to misuse and legal guns falling into the wrong hands.

Sounds like Kemal is issuing a call to arms for all vigilantes living in the Greatest Country in the World.

:eek:

:cool:

I agree totally. And I don't even care if you were meaning to be sarcastic, cuz like it or not, what you said is true.

I'm not sure that potentially drunk (on their off hours) college students with guns is a good idea, but at least maybe arm the faculty. They would at least have had a chance then. The shooter obviously didn't care that guns were banned on the University grounds.

I do strongly support the 2nd Ammendment. Laws only take the guns out of the hands of law abiding citizens. Criminals don't give a shit about the laws. Granted, nothing prevented him from buying the guns, but surely the signs on the doors stating that guns are banned on the University grounds should have stopped him (NOT!). Spare me!

OH! Here's an idea... How about putting locks on the inside of classroom doors! Then people wouldn't have to block the doors with their bodies. Duh. :confused: :mad:

America's not the UK, in fact I think there was some sort of fight that made sure of that... damn violence.
