Take the guns away, enough already. Would there be as many break ins or robberies without this cruch(GUN). Back off gun crazies, find a new hobby and be better role models, no matter what your political views are or who the President is, it's about all our futures. Can't we all just get along?
"If you are for gun control, then you are not against guns, because the guns will be needed to disarm people. So it's not that you are anti-gun. You'll need the police's guns to take away other people's guns. So you're very Pro-Gun, you just believe that only the Government (which is, of course, so reliable, honest, moral, and virtuous...) should be allowed to have guns. There is no such thing as gun control. There is only centralizing gun ownership in the hands of a small, political elite and their minions."
Is is not true that the so called law Abiding citizens are selling there Guns for a $$, like they really care who's hand it's in. No one will win this fight, just lives lost, and more reasons for the gun crazies to whine and Be otch, that its not the gun, it's the person.
THIS 25 year and 4 OTHER criminals did this. Prosecute them, not the rest of the Country. And for God's sake quit with the name calling. It gets you no where.
I am referring to everyone and anyone, making such issues on Guns today. This is all I hear about, the need and want for guns is all our children hear as well. Guns scare me and the people hell bent to posess them scare me. You have people who want guns to kill the intruder and people want guns to commit the crimes, for God's sake, this is getting us no where, the names I choose will not matter.
