I think a war zone is a bit different than a lunatic shooting up a grade 1 classroom

Any changes to.the general populace have to.start with kids, if we get kids to buy into ideals for greater humanity today then in 15-20 even 30 years down the line will be in a better place

Racism isn't completely gone but we are a far site.from where we were

U gotta.start somewhere to make a better life for family's of tomorrow, and this notion of noting we do will change anything is a sad state of mind to live in and is exactly why things won't change

Neemo, I don't know what you think of as the black market, because you can get them through family connections, friends, the internet and flea markets. That's 350 million guns. And yes, it's in our rights, you can't touch it. But I have no problem with gun laws and I've made that very very clear, but I don't know what you're suggesting they do in a realistic manner here. But you cannot control over 350 million guns already in circulation.

i dunno what they can do either....but if you make selling of guns illegal ecept through certain outlets and that certain guns are not allowed to be sold then all of a sudden all these resources for purchasing them become fewer and farther between, if you cant see that then i dunno what to say, its not gonna happen over night, i never said it would

you flat out say it cant be done...and i say where there is a will there is a way

also with alcohol....at any time of the day in the USA you can go to any store and buy beer whiskey whatever....right? well in ontario canada there are 2 stores you can go to

the liquor control board of Ontario (LCBO) or the beer store thats it...they open at 10 or 11 and close at reg business hours, none of this 2:00am runs to the variety store to prolong a drunken stupor (not saying that canadians do not get ridiculously hammered cuz we are known for it, but thats one less temptation to go out for a quick drive for more beer, or whatever, as a society we have been pretty good at turning around the populace to buy into the strict DUI laws...when i was a parents were drinking and driving all over the damn place, 25-30 years later its very taboo to even have a drink when they go out if they know they need to drive (2 or 3 drinks puts you over the limit here and at minimum is a license suspension if caught) peoepl still drink and drive not saying canadians are saints but jtsu saying that dui related deaths have decreased over the years

#1824 Re: The Garden » Elementary School Shooting in US » 725 weeks ago

i'm not a gun person by any means but i beleive th gun laws in canada are restricted to being able to only own rifles for hunting and when not in use they need to be locked up in a case...no hand guns no semis or fulls, just illegal period

if the gov't madea concerted effort to clean it up then it could be done...to say it cant be done is just a sad way to view things...anythign can be done

also most people dont know where to go for black market goods so it makes it harder to come across....no walking in to pawnshops to buy weapons, no people getting pissed on alcohol or otherwise and flying off the handle and grabbing the nearest thing to hand

just cuz it has always been that way doesnt mean it needs to continue...instead of billions on millitary why not transfer a little bit of that $$$ to somewhere else

and alcohol and cough medicine to make meth is not the same, meth is a highly addictive illegal drug that people addicted to it will do anything to make either for consumption or for selling, (i dont think owning a gun is addictive? could be wrong i dont own one) and alcohol is  for the most part a recreational beverage, and also with the right laws in place the tragedies will decrease as well

Americans sometimes appear to be so hooked up on their rights to bear arms etc that they cant see whats better for the common man...

Glad at least YOU are LOLing at this situation.

This attitude of laughing at other people opinion's expenses, thinking you are so cool and so right while everybody else is wrong is one of the reasons your country and your people is labeled as retarded all around the world, but I'll keep my comments to myself as they are not as short narrowed as your opinions seem to be.

I'm laughing at the idiotic notion that passing gun control laws would somehow magically stop people from getting shot.  I don't care that you believe it or not...that's your right.  I don't own a gun.  I'm not a gun advocate.  I'm realistic enough to understand that the people committing these crimes aren't going to not commit them because guns are illegal.  Killing people is illegal.  Do you think the fact that the gun is illegal too will somehow stop these murders?

I don't have an agenda, but clearly you do.

First of all, don't call me an idiot.

Second of all, I'm not saying to BLOCK access to Guns for everybody but to narrow down to people who are psychologically capable of handing a gun.

When did I say that guns should be illegal? Yeah, you're only talking about an agenda because you have one. Stop calling people who you don't know - and don't even bother to read their opinions - names and don't put carefully chosen words into what I've said and we can have a conversation, otherwise keep it to yourself.

Ok lets stop now, I'm sure we can keep this.civilized, thanks

Also, how would u determine their mental stability? I don't think what u suggest is reasonable, especially in a day and age of civil rights

Terrible news....man I can't imagine.

buzz is right a psycho is a psycho, and if he wanted these people dead he would've made it happen regardless of legality, but we need to understand that the accessibility of firearms is much higher in a country that stands up strongly for right to possess amunitions, and to my knowledge situations like this seem to occur much more frequently in the USA than in the rest of the world. I dunno if the shooter is a teenager or not, but if dude goes into a rage with a gun nearby chances are greater it will be used as opposed to going out finding a gun for sale on the black market then proceed to go on a spree. My $0.02
