The 33 people (I am including the shooter since his death came as a gun shot suicide) killed at VaTech this week are less than 1% of the number of Americans that will be killed due to gun violence this year.  Obviously what we are doing now is not working.  The answer is definitely not to allow guns easier to get.  I fail to see how allowing more Americans the opportunity to carry a concealed weapon will reduce the number of deaths.   Strengthen the penalties associated with weapons possession, enforce the laws more diligently and ban any type of automatic or semiautomatic firearm. And while we are at it why don't all those churches worried about whether people of the same sex can marry concentrate on something that really hurts society - gun violence!!!

I don't think banning guns would help. More control, yes. But it's a society towards this violence and "kill first discuss later" attitude that is to be changed, and that, I think is possible. Education, network, communication, help, are tools that can make it work.

Oh and only 1 TV channel showing a fish tank so people go out and socialize instead of watching Kill Bill 2.

guns or no guns....violent people are violent people ...its not going to help much with the crime rate or murder rates...if someone comes home to their wife screwing another guy....instead of shooting the person he will just stab him or beat him to death....Violence is already part of the society and it is what certain people know and act. You cant change that by taking away guns.....the violence neccesary to "kill" comes from within and has nothing to do with guns...

and there will still be masacres because if guns are "banned" then the only people searching for guns in the underground market will be killers, robbers, and the occasional "i dont care its illegal but i want to protect myself" person ...

This is how the world is going to end anyways : http://www.albinoblacksheep.com/flash/end.php ;D

 sorry, i apologize, i was just furious.

so I am suppose to go on my life, as an American citizen, trusting that supposedly sane people like you, won't someday loose it, and take a gun outta wherever you keep it, and go on a rampage in a shopping center or schools,,,. I am suppose to depend my life on somebody else,,, and you know,, insanity is an easy line to cross over into.

i agree with maybe making gun controls stronger....

an insane person is going to go insane like that legal or not.....the person did not just walk into a store, buy a gun and go nuts....he had it planned out....

i dont know why they have them available honestly....but as i said ...legal or not anything is obtainable if you look for it....

....on a side note....lets say someone buys something "underground" and then kills someone and flees and nobody survived to identify this person.....having bought the gun "legally" helps identify the shooter.....if you are forced to buy underground how would they know it was your gun???

There is a big difference between a semi automatic and a fully automatic. Do you think gun toting criminals are going to give a rats ass about laws? The only thing you are going to accomplish by more gun controls are with the law abiding gun owners not the criminals.

I agree, this is part of gun control. But most gun owners will say "if a burglar can get an AK47, then I want the right to own one too". Can't beat the argument if viewed that way.

So I fall into this "dangerous" category.

this list would be incomplete....and many people who arent a danger to society will be put on this list...what a supid idea....it will just make people discriminate and fuel psychos to hate society.......it will affect people in jobs and other aspects of life and it may not be warranted....

its like making someone guilty before being proven innocent

People that try to take rights of others away.

People that keeps harping over and over on dead issues.

I suppose you want cars taken from people too? Cars kill how many people in the US each year? A hell of a lot more than guns do.  ( 42,636 people died in car crashes in the U.S. in 2005)

How about stabbings? Do you want the government to collect all the knives?

*sigh*

That still doesn't answer the question about why our gun murder rate is so much higher than countries with tighter gun control.

And your having to resort to that old hobby horse argument about cars is hilarious and disingenuous.

yeap, yeap,

there really is no case for gun right people except that they want to own it, and will spend their money to fight to own it, where as people against guns have nothing to gain materially but just have strong opinions, so have less economical and political muscle power.

so, someone tell me why i should sacrifice my sense of safety so that few irrational people can have their fucked up sense of safety to rationalize their barbaric fear that can endanger others' lives while doing so?

what our government is doing in these wars, which are driven by their sense of fear that someone might take us down, is the same disgustingly simple and archaic convoluted rationalization; the core of which is really driven by their desire to make money at the cost of these barbaric murders.

Oh it would bother you to have your car taken away? But it wouldn't bother you about guns because you don't own any? Same difference guys. You wouldn't like it.

I don't own a car, little buckeroo.

At any rate, it's harder to get a car license in Virginia than a gun at a gun show, where there is no background check, etc. due to loop holes.

Still an irrelevant line of argument.  Red herring fallacy, exit left please.

owning cars does not equal owning guns,,,, is gun part of your everyday life? a necessity? for god's sake, its a killing weapon

i am sure any rational mind will understand how false this comparison is.

Try telling that to the man that was ran over by his wife in their Mercedes 10 times. Tell that to the people that have lost someone from a drunk driver. Don't tell me their is no comparison. Being able to have a gun is a protected right. Having a car and being able to drive it is a privilege.

Gun control doesn't generally mean "no guns" -- you DO realize this don't you Ron?

That is something which has always mystified me. To be able to own and drive a car, you have to study, practice and pass both a written and practical exam. To own and use a gun, all you have to do is buy it. And then of course there's the issue of insurance...

Well here is an idea.. get mandatory insurance before you can get the gun. Doesn't have to be expensive and could be insurance issued by the govt so it's not in private hands, but that would be another background check. If the govt had to pay insurance to all those families that lost people due to inappropriate use of a gun, I'm sure the background checks would be a lot more effective..

Well if we take the guns away from the law abiding citizens ....then only the criminal element will have them and I don't know about you
but that doesn't seem like a good idea to me.  But that's my opinion.
I do agree that assault rifles and other automatic weapons should be banned...
but even if they were outlawed....the criminal element would still have theirs and then the cops would be at a disadvantage.

 No matter how you look at it....It is impossible to prevent this type of tragedy.

 I'm quite certain Canada has tragedies like this too
maybe not as many but nonetheless they have them too.

That's pretty much the situation in every other progressive Western country, and it seems to work OK for all of us.
