[Phalanx]

He had a right to own a gun (if he was over 18, and the gun was legally registered in his name)...He did NOT have a right to kill people...

Thing is...as a (seemingly) rational person in general, YOU might see the distinction between the two, but do they?
Everyone's got a right to buy one, yes?
Seems that in some peoples perspective, their rights go a little bit further.

You either don't get my point or you're an idiot.

But yeah, ok I'm an idiot...I must be wrong because you think you must be right, hm? Nice logic.

Putting stricter gun laws in place takes guns out of the hands who would use them responsibly.

When we had our last changes in the law regardng firearms, MANY, of the number of firearms handed in for destruction were not legally obtained or under the liscence of the intended owner.
Guess it takes them out of the hands of both?

Even if there were "stricter gun laws" in place, Cho still could have obtained a weapon if he wanted to. It is NOT a hard process to illegally obtain one. In fact it's a much easier process than to legally obtain one.

...and generally far more expensive. I don't know how your whole criminal element works, but in my experience here, the SHIT you'd have to go through to get one, and THEN the price...wouldn'yt be worth MY effort that's for sure. Not even if I was "a little bit angry"...
Yes, you would have to odd extreme case here and there...but I think the problem in general would be far less, I mean, one would assume you DO see what's been happening as a problem, yes?

The 'availability' of these drugs does NOT make them more prone to use. If people want to do a drug, they will find a way to gain access to it and use it. Legal or not.

It's paranoid thinking like this that'll keep your kids getting shot.;)
Sure, if people want it that bad, they can and probably will get it...but should they be giving away free samples of the latest manufactured drug with every beer, you saying that you honestly don't see the drug problem becoming worse?

Yes, there is. It's because it's a FAR MORE DANGEROUS DRUG than "pretty much any OTHER drug".

I'd say that people just fall into alcoholism far easier, and it's a more widespread problem than most other drug use, but...however you want to put it...it wouldn't be so dangerous if every asshole above a certain age COULD legally get their hands on it, would it?
This is why there's responsible service of alcohol laws in place....I assume you folks have them too? Say I agree with you...
Guns. Far more dangerous than many a non projectile weapon...
Yeah, unfortunately I'd say there's not quite so many "tell" signs (I mean, hey...obviously...) on a customer looking to buy a gun it seems...removal of the ability to buy a gun, would be the only way to effectively lessen the problem.

Coke, Weed, Speed, X, Painkillers, shrooms, acid, mescaline... whatever.
None of those drugs makes people so prone to violent outbursts, and no other drug impairs the decision making ability of a person quite as much as alcohol.

Horse-shit. Speed and other amphetamines, just to begin with the REALLY obvious one...make people FAR more prone to violent outbursts. Also might want to have a look next time you get between a "dry" heroin addict and their next score. Another good point from someone calling ME the idiot.

Next time, try talking about something before chucking a little GIRL hissyfit and saying "waaaah, you're wrong! idiot!" Just because you believe your point of view to be valid doesn't mean that all and any other, aren't.
You cannot argue with the facts.
Mere comparison speaks volumes...
Live your life controlled by fear, that'll just fuck up your day.

Seriously, learn a little bit more before you come in here spewing that shit again.

I think you should definately take your own advice.
What's YOUR big groundbreaking solution then? Don't see you coming up with a whole lot...too bad people like you...who seem to be a majority...are just too damn sure of themselves to even give anything (that's a proven successful solution) else a try...guess in this case we'll never know.

But...whatever...I don't try and convince the lost.
Wasn't my initial intention...'nor was it to start or participate in an argument with a snappy little cunt that thinks they know everything.
So...have a good 'un, and listen, I hope that none of your family gets shot up by the local kid you last condescended to, forcing you to reassess your point of view.
