Guns do kill people. That's what they are for. In the 14th Century an arab invented the first man portable firearm. It made a change from bows and arrows. People will argue that guns don't kill people, people kill people. That is an ultracrepedarian argument really because people kill people with guns knives and whatever else they can get their hands on.
Ha That's it.... lets ban hands.


Then the world will really end up a smelly place... especially when we start kicking the shit out of each other.

Hey Steve. In Nashville you hear of the owner stopping a criminal every once in a while. Where the criminal wasn't stopped they don't mention whether the owner had a gun or not.

We're not talking about the crime wave in Bemudgy, Idaho are we? Aren't we pretty much talking urban areas? There is a complete difference in the populations of the U.S. and Canada. The United States also has a large demographic of disenfranchised people which Canada and Australia do not.

I'd also like to bring up another question to the group. How many times do you hear of a homeowner stopping a break-in with a gun? Very seldom. I think that you're more at risk from the gun that you have for your own protection than the criminal you fear.

I worked for the City and at one time was at the Dallas Zoo. One of the parking lot cashiers was named Vasudev Patel. He was Indian. After 9/11, some maniac wanted to kill a Muslim and went into the store and killed Vasudev because he was dark. Vasudev, of course, was Hindu, I believe. He was married and had a couple of kids.

Okay, so you understand store owners owning a gun but what about the rest of us. Vasudev wasn't killed because he owned a store. He was killed by some maniac that wanted to kill a Muslim. The point being that if someone was killed by a gun is that a reason for others not to own a gun? Maybe if Vasudev had owned a gun then that Muslim hating maniac would be dead in his stead.

Well, during a home invasion a gun is good to have. If you are in a movie theater....what then? Are you justifying having every gun toting citizen to pull their weapon and open fire? This may solve the problem and it may cause as much collateral damage as the single shooter.


pretty sure it would have saved a few lives in the Colorado theatre if some "gun toting citizen" would have been able to pull out a gun...

Yep I live in Florida.....Love our CCW Laws...The Scum baggers never know is Old Pop's Packing and think twice before grabbing Grannies hand bag!!!

On the NFL Dude on Drugs, Alcohol and Domestic Violence.

I look at it as a form of "Birth Control", the majority of Football Players make babies then go Bankrupt,leaving Society to raise their off Spring....thus no other Cradle to Grave from this Dude..

What gets me is Bob Costas is a "Rich Guy" reporting on a violent game....

Why did he not use his Microphone Stump to bang on the football violence and concussions....

Maybe that mixed with the Cocaine/Jack Daniel/Broad was really the "ROOT CAUSE" and Bob Costas receives big bucks for spouting his crap on football and other violent contact events????

Football haf time is not the place for a Big shot sports Moron to Spout hisPersonal Opin!!!

I tune in to watch the Millionaire Morons fight over a pigskin!!

Obama needs to sweep out his own back door before he sweeps out the legitimate gun owners. All the violence from the creeps who kill each other are from stolen guns normally.... and who steals those????? Surely you know the answer to that. He'll have a hard time monitoring those thefts.... No home owner can help who steals his weapon unless you have a vault to put it in.. then what's the use of owning a gun then?

In some countries, all weapons have to be stored in a vault simply because children go through the 'what's in daddy's cupboard' stage and WILL find whatever secrets are hidden
