But killing 20 children and six adults in one go is nearly impossible
with a hammer.

That is the problem with semi automatic fire arms.

Besides that, there are many accidents with guns.

Interesting, if quite slanted. If you read down further, though, and
were self-consistent, you'd say that _handguns_ should be banned.

That Piazza guy needs to study his history: folks have been going on
rampages and killing other folks with whatever weapons are handy ever
since our ancestors were motile. Returning to "the days when these type
of horrific, murderous rampages never happened" will require some serious
devolution on our parts, into an ecological niche already filled quite
successfully by the fungi.

Given that he apparently makes a point of talking about things that he's
not qualified to utter a sound on, one wonders (a) why we should believe
anything he says, and (b), why the reporter had such poor judgment as to
include his quote.

Hammers serve a useful purpose. The article did not say how many were
actually killed with a hammer.

In fact its a bit like saying trailers and cars killed 5,000 people last
year, so lets blame and ban trailers?

I have known one person hit with a hammer and one person shot with a
gun. The person shot, sued, the person hit with the hammer died.

The moral of the story, I don't know, make up your own.

Ummm- sounds like you're the one who needs to do some research. Piazza is a pro and half:
http://www.frontsight.com/Ignatius-Piazza/ignatius-piazza.asp

And his point is well-made, the easy availability of mind altering psychoactive drugs correlates perfectly well with the mass shooting sprees. The Holmes character in Aurora is a perfect case in point.
If the state is a failure at keeping lethal firearms out of the hands of well documented lunatics then they lose all credibility as to the wisdom of their ideas about semi-automatic rifle ownership control.

Let me ask Nancy Lanza, self professed gun nut, if guns serve a useful
purpose. Oh wait, her brains are all splatted over her house, thanks to
Adamn Lanza plugging the shit head at point blank.

Well I suppose guns are useful for killing their owners.

---------------
The Loganville mother of two assumed the knocks on her front door Friday
afternoon were from a solicitor.

�Don�t answer,� she yelled to her 9-year-old twins playing downstairs.

When the visitor began repeatedly ringing the doorbell, she called her
husband at work.

�Get the kids and hide,� he told his wife.

-----------------
The shit for brains woman should have called the cops first. Nothing in
the story says how long it took the husband to call the cops. That is
time wasted. Further, she bypassed the location service provided by
calling 911. To add to the confusion, the 911 service saw the address of
her husband, which is not the incident address. So then dispatch has to
get the proper address over the phone, then find the right district to
respond to the call.

Fucking idiot. Yet the state trusts somebody that fucking stupid with
lethal force. Well in her case, 5 shots at point blank and not so lethal.

There is a huge difference between an idiot, and a homicidal maniac.
The problem isn't the weapon, it's that these freaks are allowed to roam
freely. Since a hammer makes no noise, he could have possibly killed
even more by picking them off, one by one. It looks like you need to be
removed from society, and locked up for everyone's safety because of you
high power rifle fetish.

Found in another group, from "pyotr filipivich":

Question for the gun Control advocates, "Do you agree with
this statement?"

"I would rather have a society without guns, even if it
means that people cannot defend themselves against murder
(with other weapons), rape, robbery, and assault. I would
rather make everyone defenseless than have to endure the
mass shootings that occasionally occur. If that means that
many more people, (particularly the old, the weak, and the
infirm) are subjected to these violent crimes, then so be
it. They'll just have to suffer more. I do claim the power
to dictate whether or not others are able to defend themselves."

If shit for brains woman called the cops, the guy probably wouldn't have
got through the door. But the fucking bitch had to endanger everyone

I will take her odds of being alive over your odds of the police
"probably" stopping the crime.

Have you seen this article ?

http://usnews.nbcnews.com/_news/2012/10/08/14294269-visit-detroit-at-your-own-risk-police-union-warns?lite

In Detroit they are telling folks to not rely on the "probably" that
you seem so eager to impose on some woman who is getting victimized
and could easily lose her life.

In Detroit they are being honest about the "probability" of police
being there to help you. Truth is, Detroit is not an outlier.

Remember: When seconds count the police are minutes away.

Dumbshit, her husband called 911. The tapes are being played on the
news; 911 operators sitting there with their thumbs up their asses, as
usual., as she's shooting the perp. When seconds count, the police
are only minutes away.

Note also that the police are under *NO* obligation to protect you,
even if they can. Their job is to clean up the paperwork after the
crime is committed. If they can stop it without going too far out of

Sigh. Guns (of any sort, from matchlocks to miniguns) are not
analogous to nuclear weapons. When a nuke hits it target as precisely
as possible there is fallout which doesn't happen with guns.

That's just one reason why I do NOT support the use of nuclear
weapons by anyone.

That's also why the U. S. is trying to prevent Iran acquiring them;
we are in the unique position of having used them in combat and know
just exactly how bad an idea they are; that's also why we're trying
desperately to draw down our own stocks with the eventual goal of
zero, and to get every other nation that has them to do the same, but
nobody wants to go first.

Guns have the most most useful use possible--protecting your life.
The right of self-defense is a basic human right.

It's hard to imagine a more basic, more important use for anything, or
right to it. Such uses happen all the time. All the time.

What's being proposed, at bottom, is that a 100 lb. woman being raped
in a dark alley has no right to defend herself. Her only option, in
that world, is to wait and hope he doesn't kill her, and that society
catches and punishes him if he does, after she's dead.

It leaves women defenseless. Old guys, too.

Sure, but how? You can't lock people up for things you think they
might do, not in a free country.

Spotting a few stats from Wikipedia, the U.K. rape rate is about
85,000 a year in a population of 63 million. <800 were convicted,
that year.[1] We had roughly 91,000 in 2008, with a population of
~307 million (estimated).

[1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rape_statistics#United_Kingdom

The U.K. rate above would result in 319,000 additional rapes in
America per year.

Other than catch and punish offenders, I'm not sure what we could do.
Or the U.K., for that matter.

The problem is they are no perps _BEFORE_ they commited the crime. They are
perfectly legal and there is no way to find out if they are going to commit
one.

Your guys problem is that you simply do NOT understand what police is, how
they work, and what they are supposed to do.

They are NOT to protect anybody from a crime. That is not their job at all
and they are perfectly right telling they have no such duty. Their job is to
catch the perp AFTER he commited a crime to prevent further crimes. That is
what they are paid for because we, The People, decided that we better pay
them than pursue those criminals ourselves. But we do NOT pay them for
anybody's protection. If you want such a protection from a third party
instead of defending yourself go hire a bodyguard.

In other words they do have janitors cleaning restrooms but you have to wipe
your ass yourself. Janitors don't do this; they are not paid for it and it
is not a part of their contract.

Why not just keep them in prison, if they're dangerous? Execute a few

That might be true for career criminals but it absolutely won't work for
those commiting mass murders. There was no breaking a small law for majority
of those guys; they were absolutely clean wrt the law, then they commited
those horrible crimes that were their very first ones, and they made those
their last ones by commiting suicide so there was nobody to stand trial.

For those all the police do is counting bodies and writing reports after
everything's ended. One should have no brains to think it could've been
predicted or somebody would help them before the performance is over. This
is very fast action and perps usually run out of ammo before police has a
chance to get there. And even if they didn't and police arrived BEFORE the
game is over they still have enough time to complete their rampage and kill
theirselves when police performs their routine protocol taking positions
etc.

Yep, absolutely right. But there is something bigger behind it. First of all
that last shooting was extremely suspicious -- do somebody still remember
that _ALL_ channels were telling an "assault type rifle" has been found in a
car parked on the school lot when they were in a rush and broadcasted
everything live, without any censorship? Do those crying for action
understand that "assault rifle" is almost the worst type of firearm to use
in a classroom? Do they have any idea how much "thousands of rounds" for
such a weapon weight and whether an average person would be able to walk
even a hundred yards carrying those on him? Call me paranoid but that looks
orchestrated to me; done in a cold blood to get a pretext for confiscation
of the only arms in civilian posession somehow suitable for combat. Nobody
cries wolf about handguns that were used for gun-related crimes more than
all other weapons combined. Explanation is very simple...

The cop at Columbine at least kept the perps busy and wasted their

Too much conspiracy theory. After the election, all they had to do is
wait. A crazy was bound to pop up somewhere. Interesting that he
popped up in a place with some of the tightest gun controls. Again,
lefties don't care about facts.

Yes. It's being said that their only function is killing, but that's
simply not true--we most certainly do not allow guns to be made for
murder, or sold for that purpose either. That's rare, it's illegal,
and severely punished.

Firearms are for defense, for sport, and for food.

That is, of course, the founder's ultimate purpose--to protect freedom
itself, nothing less. It makes for a more stable government.

The protection isn't needed very often, maybe not even in a lifetime,
but by far the most murderous malefactors--the greatest historical
threats to citizens--have been their own governments gone wrong.

Even our friends in Europe have experienced this recently, and not
just once, but several instances in living memory. That's much less
likely in a nation with arms.

If the Battle of Britain had turned out differently, our good friends
there might've needed individual firearms very very badly.

When I was a boy of fourteen, my father was so ignorant I could hardly

astonished at how much the old man had learned in seven years.

Arithmetic is not the best suite of leftists. MORE people were killed
with hammers than with rifles. Sigh....

Sigh is my sentiment too. Show me and the rest of us where you get your

Charles seems perfectly competent to me. He missed a link, asked for
backup, and flipper gave it. Problem solved.

IMO, arguing about which implements are used in how many instances
totally loses the point--it's a basic human RIGHT. The right of self-
defense.

As an example, I haven't looked[1], but it's almost certain that
promiscuous gay sex kills far, far more people every year through
AIDs, hepatitis, etc. Yet, are any of these people arguing we need to
register gay people, saying "We don't want to interfere with their
rights, no, of course not, we just want them to register, and take a
training course. Why, think of the cost to the public health
service"? Is anyone calling for a national HIV registry, one that
newspapers can publish with Google maps online?

Of course not. What free people do is none of our business, none of
the govt's business, as long as it's voluntary, and doesn't infringe
someone else's rights.

[1] Okay, I looked. Roughly 48,000 new HIV infections in 2009[2]. Men
having sex with men (MSM) comprise 2% of the US population, but
accounted for 61% of new infections in 2009. MSM, accordingly, are
being infected at a rate 30x higher than their prevalence in the
population.

http://www.cdc.gov/hiv/topics/surveillance/incidence.htm

[2] 1 Prejean J, Song R, Hernandez A, Ziebell R, Green T, et al.
(2011) Estimated HIV Incidence in the United States, 2006-2009. PLoS
ONE 6(8): e17502. doi:10.1371/journal.pone.0017502


So, we're focused on one right, but not talking about a clear,
present, and far bigger danger to more people. Why? Freedom.
Freedom of those individuals, freedom that's sacred, and ought not be
questioned.

And, people have the right of self-defense. Further, an armed
populace serves a vital interest to the stability of our system of
government, which is why the founders insisted on it. That's what
matters. Of course there's a price, just like alcohol, tobacco,
certain lifestyle choices, and teen-age driving. There are also huge
benefits. We call it freedom.

Agreed on the militia. But, the orwellian federal monitoring
precludes those being formed today. They'd arrest you. So, that's
not the answer.

The answer is simpler, it's an idea: freedom. The right to life,
liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

If someone really wants women to be defenseless, let 'em try to make
that argument, and counter it when they do. No one can defend that
argument.

If they--in the name of the general welfare--want to argue against the
dangers XYZ people (e.g. gays) might pose to the general public, that
those people should be forced to register, take training courses, and
apply for licenses... well, that /is/ effectively what the
administration is arguing for, just applied to a different group.
This time.

Everyone knows that's wrong. If that's where they want to go, the
American people will throw it off.

We are a free people. The government works for us. It's our servant,
not the reverse.

So does constantly referring to yourself as 'one'. People would
treat you better if you didn't come across as a know it all jerk. That
make it look as if you're trying to fill Sloman's shoes.
