Townie,

Not once did I mention the constitution in my post. I could care less if you're sick of people hiding behind a document that is supposed to give us certain privileges.

Perhaps others are sick of you constantly berating everyone else just because they have differentiating opinions. Your sense of superiority and over inflated ego is honestly quite annoying. Furthermore, my example did not discredit my entire point.

The point was that gun laws don't prevent mentally ill people from attacking schools with whatever weapon they on get their hands on. The last time I checked there were other weapons that exist that can do harm besides a gun (bombs, knives, stun guns, etc.)

Sure, the Chinese attacker did not kill anyone, but he could have easily killed someone with a knife if he really wanted to. People are murdered and severely injured everyday with weapons other than guns. No need for the link I assure you I've already read about it.

Even planes have been hijacked with box cutters.

Do I really have to sit here and site every case in which someone was murdered with a weapon other than a gun, or how many attacks on other buildings/institutions that did not involve a gun?

Yes, this isn't a perfect world, and there will always be unstable people as you said. However, there will NEVER be an absence of guns. There will ALWAYS be a black market for them no matter what laws are passed. It makes no sense to deny those who fit the requirements to own a gun lawfully.

Why disarm the law abiding public? It will effectively make them fish in a barrel for the criminals who refuse to be disarmed. It makes more sense to treat the mentally unstable.

Also, it's rather presumptuous of you to assume that I'm also socially conservative. I'm not an Obama supporter by any means, but then again I didn't support Mitt either.

If you must know I'm for smaller government, am a fiscally conservative, but am socially liberal. I could care less if gays get married, I think women should have a choice in terms of early abortion (I don't agree with late term unless the mother or baby will die at birth,) and personally I think both pot and prostitution should be legal and regulated.

You Sir/Mam need to get your head out of your arse.


Are you sure this is what you would like to do?
