I hope after the last few days events that even the most primitive of American people can now appreciate that
GUNS needs to be BANNED for the general populas NOW!

Americans have shown the world that they cannot and will NEVER be able to behave responsibly with a GUN in hand.

Massacres at schools, shopping malls and Universities is common place and NOW the assassination attempt of a government official.

This would be so much harder to accomplish if the Government would just BAN GUNS.

The American people do not need them even for protection. Protection from who? The average American has no serious enemy.

Gun need to be BANNED and it looks like that day is coming. Good. I do not care how people on here think about that but with the anti-government feel to this site it proves that it only takes one or two bad eggs to spoil the party. So the easiest way is to BAN the deadly weapon.

As an added measure after the shooting of that poor congress woman who was only doing her job, I think the US constitution should be suspended till the ban of GUNS has been put into effect.

The Bill of Rights needs to be torn up and replaced with something more upto date. The right to bare arms is now outdated and will only serve to put fire in the bellies of those do not like the way the system works. Instead of improving their lives they turn to GUNS as their way to solve their pathetic lives. The Bill of Rights is too old to mean anything now-a-days and needs to be looked at before the US turn into an anarchist state.

Ban GUNS and terminate the current Bill of rights in favor of something more realistic.

PS I know a lot of you will be giving it the mouth in reply but shootings in America need to STOP. And trying to kill a government official is just plain WRONG!!! The average american has no formal training with a weapon and has no formal pass mark to achieve. If you look at driving you need to pass a test and get a license.

Americans will always resort to shooting people. Its in their nature. Anyone who does not agree with the BANNING of GUNS needs to be considered as someone who POTENTIALLY will one day do harm to someone. I

A new "extremist" law needs to be introduce for gun ownership.

"From my cold, dead hand".

You are obviously not an american, and obviously are not in full understanding of our constitution. Guns are not, and have never been, about protection from the average citizen.

As for ripping up the bill of rights-you do realize that doing so would cause an all-out civil war, right?

And let me ask you this: If guns become illegal, do you really think that that means they become unavailable?

Are you serious, or are you just trolling? This must be one of the most extremist, most ridiculous threads I have seen on this type of topic. I could write a four page post on the merits of the US Constitution, the 2nd Amendment, et al., but I'm afraid I would be speaking to a brick wall.

Peace be with you.

So you judge the rest of us gun totters with the likes of one that went off the deep end and took a life. Hell the guy could of just ran them all over with a dump truck would that mean you would want dump trucks banned also
Wake up its not the gun but the person be hined the gun. I would say that some folks dont need guns but that is my opinion not a fact and I try not to paint with a broad brush ether.




This would be so much harder to accomplish if the Government would just BAN GUNS.

That is funny knives sticks and stones can kill, cars and your bare hands can kill hell just about any peace of modern anything can kill

You must be out of your Gitdamn mind ......


Then the only people who had guns would be cops and criminals,....

average citizens would be completely defenseless.


While were at it lets make stab proof knives, .... foam baseball bats, and pencils with corks on them.

People will always hurt other people, .... our society is advanced beyond our civility.

Enough said. Once again the left uses tragedy like pathetic vultures to advance their totalitarian agenda.

I understand that guns were protection from tyranny of government. But government now is not what it was 100 years ago.

And a civil war....Who cares. The Government would win and things would be righted. Americans killing Americans is all to common now. Something needs to be done. The Government needs to flex some muscle and put the citizens in its place. Take away their weapons.

Cold dead hands? Honestly, I do hope so. If you wish to act like a criminal then you should be treated like one.

That is the most outrageous thing I have ever read. So if one nutjob gets his hands on a gun and kills some people, we need to take them away from everybody? That's like saying if one person crashes his car into a playground, we should forever ban cars. If one person gets too drunk and stabs somebody, we should abolish all alcohol and knives. If one person crashes a plane into an IRS building, we should get rid of planes altogether. Just because something can hurt somebody does not mean that we need to get rid of it. I can have a mental breakdown and drive a dumptruck on the wrong side of the highway, so logically that means that we should get rid off motor vehicles?

If we take guns away from the honest people, than the wackadoos who are planning on going on a killing spree sure as hell aren't going to give their guns up! So that will only leave the honest people defenseless. In fact, if MORE people carried guns, than the wackjob who shot up the grocery store could have been taken down after he got a few shots off. If anything, we should go back to the Wild West, where almost every person is armed. If somebody wants to start something and hurt innocent people, he'll get 20 guns pointed at his head

Can we also ban knives around the world as well? It seems none of us really know how to use those either. Then after that we might as well ban rocks and sharp pointy sticks because you just know those are going to get out of hand.

I'm flagging this to raise awareness that some people really do believe this, and so that those who DO feel the same as the OP can open the thread, read the comments below, and hopefully find the error of their ways.

Weren't you the guy who introduced himself claming to be a psychopath? Seems strange that you'd post a thread which appears to be fueled by such emotion, unless you're just trolling again.

Citing this incident as an indicator that guns need to be banned is wrong. At the end of the day, people like Jared, who have clearly snapped, will find a way to carry out their crazed and anger fueled actions some way- laws don't matter to people like that, clearly. Did you call for planes to be banned after 9/11? Daft example, perhaps, but there are so many ways someone in a fragile state of mind could commit an atrocity. These events, as tragic as they are, are just symptoms, a responsible society would look at the cause- that's where the real solution lies.

Sorry if this is a stupid question, but I'm new here.

Is there an ignore feature for trolls like skinripper?

Nobody in their right mind could possibly think banning guns would be a good idea.

OP are you a troll? You must be a troll because this thread title and content seems very troll like.

10. Septicemia (blood poisoning) 1.4%

You know what is funny? I don't see firearm related deaths anywhere in that list! Amazing! You have a better chance of falling to your death than being a victim of a firearm death. Should we quickly put a sweeping ban on ladders? I think we should! That just seems like the rational thing to do!

I keep 00 buck shot in the house for just such an event that the government decides it has entirely lost its mind like is suggested in the OP. And if you bother to really do some reserch, guns are not all that hard to make, I'm sure you could make a hand canno with stuff laying in your basement so to speak.

Wow, while I admire your conviction on this issue I strongly diagree. I hate to beat the same old drum, but who do you think will have guns once they are banned? If you guessed criminals...ding ding ding..you're right. What happened was a tragedy, but did you know that the congress woman shot is pro gun? Guns are here to stay, right, wrong or indifferent. I don't know if you are from the US, but if not, are guns illegal in your country? If we outlaw guns, then what? Knives? What about eating utinsels? Should we just make every one use sporks? What about cars? They kill people. What about alcohol? What about free speech, religion, free press (goodbye ats), music, books, military service, food? You are on a slippery slope my friend, you might want to rethink it.
