Gun Control is a ridiculous debate. We should just stop making bullets or better yet, not let children under a certain age gather in large groups. Maybe only 3 kids at a time surrounding the ice cream truck. Perhaps we should pass a law that all kids should be home schooled which would eliminate school shootings with a 100% success rate. An easier way would be to identify possible future "shooters" by implementing and enforcing rigorous screening measures. Ya know, young, white, males who spend hours playing video games, surfing the net on message boards and for porn. Half this board membership would be undergoing questioning by the FBI.
There was a mass murder of 19 children under the age of 6 at a daycare in Oklahoma in 1995, before the majority of the posters on this board were out of elementary school. No guns or assault rifles were used.
There are no absolutes in life. A certain percentage of the population is crazy and will do crazy things no matter how you attempt to legislate them. As bordy pointed out, a percentage of the gun carrying police officers are just as crazy as the people they are chasing. Likewise, I would guess a large majority of those carrying concealed weapons would crap their pants if they had to actually use it in a real life situation. An intruder breaking into your house is a hell of a lot different than trying shoot somebody across a crowded food court. Everybody is a bad *** at the target the range.
Horrible crap happens. Get used to it. Luckily it only happens to a small percentage of the population. Most of us escape it, some of us don't. If you live long enough, bad stuff will happen to you or somebody you love.
The media wants you outraged. Their whole purpose in life is to make people like Thriller crap their pants and shake his "tiny fists" every time some bad happens.
