If those who were killed in the massacre would have been armed,it may have been less of a massacre

If guns were legal,maybe those who went on a shooting spree would have just killed themselves before they killed anyone else.
if you're brought up in that culture and your media and society tells you 24hrs a day that there threats everywhere and says you're an idiot and un-American if you don't carry a gun

I do have to say though, why should my rights be taken away because someone else is misusing a tool?

How can you claim media and society are beating us all with "must have gun" ideals and every American must have a gun then a few lines later say something like "40-50% of you seem to have guns so the majority of Americans dont even want guns"
Seems like you contradicted yourself.

For the fourth time, that conclusion has no merit unless you can prove a gun carrying public was in attendence.

I would love to live in a world where guns were not used at all. As for paranoid, I'm not. I don't even own guns for protection, but as I said, they are there if I need to use them for such.
This has been a good thread, however pointless, because I always enjoy learning why others take their own side.. and this thread has given me a lot to look at.
I've enjoyed.
