The Vatican praised President Barack Obama's proposals for curbing gun violence on Saturday, saying they are a "step in a right direction." ..... "I am with them," Lombardi declared, lining up the Vatican's moral support in favor of firearm limits.
And while massacres are "carried out by unbalanced or hate-driven persons, there is no doubt that they are carried out with firearms," the Vatican spokesman said.
Lombardi renewed Vatican appeals for disarmament and encouragement for measures to fight "the production, commerce and contraband of all types of arms," an industry fueled by "enormous economic and power interests."

OK, now you can stop using the "X can kill, ban X" fallacy.
I'm not a fan of the Vatican, but at least they are right on this one.

It's not a fallacy. It's the truth. This IDIOT wants law abiding Americans not to have a way to protect themselves. The criminals will always be able to get handguns. He, and the Vatican, are being MYOPIC.

No .. they are being eurocentric and have joined in the NWO wanting to disarm Americans.

OK, so you're in the middle of a shopping mall with a knife. How many people can you kill? Same shopping mall, this time with an AR-15 and multiple magazines. How many people can you kill?

You dont think it is a problem, that you think of killing people when you´re in a shopping mall?? Maybe you and others with those ideas should get some mental help, instead of banning guns. Maybe we should just ban you guys instead... just saying...

Oh please. Who is going to win ... A criminal with a loaded 45 or a housewife with a kitchen knife? Seriously .. get real. You sound like that euro-centric old man in the Vatican. Law abiding Americans have a RIGHT to adequate self defense.
And the NWO agenda to disarm Americans is VERY real.
The NWO... now you're just afraid of a boogeyman and want your blanket. Time to put on your big boy pants and work for a better tomorrow.
Grow up. Troll

What? I don't think about killing people. I was illustrating a point, and a shopping mall happens to be a crowded place. And then shows your true colors... Ban me instead? I have the same rights as you. You want your precious little gun and you want people you don't like to go away. Grow up.edit on 20-1-2013 by DaTroof because: (no reason given)
