So using a deadly weapon is your heritage I gather? It's your pride? You wake up everyday and holster it like a cowboy and think: "Im gonna save the world today"? Is that it?
So why don't you get rid of your Army and Cops then since your populace is armed you really don't need one.
You don't need grocery stores either, you can all hunt now.
You don't need home security, for you have guns.
Fighting wars abroad should be stopped, cause you are defenders hence the guns, right?
When Children are killed by a psycho who used a gun in the crime, the media should give hell to the schools and ask why each teacher didn't have a gun in the class.
When people are shot at work it's their fault, they should of had guns.
Whoever called you neanderthal was correct, owning guns is an antiquated unnecessary way in this day and age and does no good for anyone. Considering the rest of the world regulates them harshly and has much less shootings (MUCH LESS) it stands to reason your assessment is biased and wrong.
You can defend guns all you like but the numbers speak volumes in themselves and a bit of research and an open mind would have you thinking the same thing.
However, being a gun owner you are not open minded, don't care about who's died or who's in danger, all you care about is waking up with a gun.
We wiped the neanderthals out eventually because of their backwards thinking and antiquated ways. How long do you think your old antiquated ways will last considering all the shootings you have had recently?
Your on the cusp of weapons bans and it will do you all some good.
Sometimes children need to be told, not asked and in this case the gun owners are the children and the government should not ask, it should regulate for the security of it's people. Period then end. Don't like it, too bad. Evolution is here and you can evolve with the world or be left behind in the old one.edit on 23-12-2012 by TheCanuckian because: (no reason given)

Well said.....
Trying to inform these people and make them understand there ARE other lifestyles than the one they chose is impossible. They do not have the ability to think, consider the facts and be open minded that not everybody has the same beliefs.
If you don't look like them, have the same beliefs and live in their cookie cutter world then your a neanderthal.
Your wasting your tie and effort trying to teach them anything.
One of my favorite sayings sums it up.......
They have their minds made up, don't confuse them with the facts.
For an example of one of these people just look back a few posts before this one..... [/qu ote]
Are you are referring to me....then just call me out. Don't hidee behind vague assumptions of my hominid species type
You are still using insults as to the opposition being dumb and beneath your intellect to justify your views.
Insulting the opposition is meant to get them to use emotions to respond rather logic. It is a poor debate tactic

This guy is right OP. You cavemen-cowboys are evolutionary has beens. You need to let your government decide what's best for you and turn over your guns. Then and only then can you join the rest of the world as we hold hands and prance around free of all crime and violence forever!

I have not been commenting in any of the threads going on for the last few weeks, but i have read them all.
The maniac going on a shooting spree to kill innocent people, isen't going to go away, it's unfortunately here to stay, i have seen people here thinking there is a quick solution to this problem, and think the solution is to have more weapons to the people to protect them self.
That aint gonna work at all, you might save some lifes in a specific rare situation, but over all it's just going to worsen the problem in the long term.
This isen't about criminals going on a shooting spree, this is maniacs with a lot of anger.
If you give more guns to the people, you give more guns to the maniacs.
Removing the guns, will be a very VERY long term solution, but as it's taking time you will still see innocent people getting killed, it's unavoidable as the situation is now, but MAYBE in the long run fewer people will get killed.
But is there really a solution to this? Well i don't think so, it's a problem thats here to stay, and sadly you will have to get used to it as the US is a #ed up country with a lot of #ed up people, and so is the rest of world when you look at the big picture.

I'll agree with you after you post one clear example of a government disarming their citizens and it representing a clear jump in evolution. Just one?

Of course I can't do that, because that is reality. My sarcastic post was more for those who don't live in reality. You know the ones that cry when a rare tragedy happen but say NOTHING about all the inner city murders that happen everyday?
After this event happened 90 were shot in Chicago, where's the people wanting to disarm them? And that is supposedly a gun-free zone.

Then, my bad. I missed your point. I'm still missing it from your original reply.

I thought the "hold hands and prance around" part would of gave it away.
