+245 So, because of James Holmes, they're going to try to make stricter gun laws to prevent shooting sprees. Because criminals totally follow laws, amirite?

Would you prefer there would no laws at all? That will surely help.

my point is either way it wouldn't make a difference

It truly does.

Yeah, so we should just do nothing at all and say fuck it.

Did you know that even Hitler obtained power legally?

can nobody really see the sarcasm in this post?

if a law abiding citizen was carrying a firearm in the theater then the death toll probably would not have been so high. this is why we need more CCWs issued to citizens.

Even if you're law-abiding it doesn't mean you don't drink or have a temper or anything that makes humans dangerous towards eachother.

You wanna give me an example of one of these spontaneous shootings out of anger by carriers of a CCW license?

by Anonymous 11 years ago

nah, i'm fine. That kinda contradicts your point though.

How so? You can make as many claims as you wish but if you don't have any evidence to support your claims when they have been called into question then you aren't helping your point. I can actually show you evidence of legally concealed firearms being used in self defense. Do you have any evidence of the situation you have described?

I didn't describe a situation. I told you that just because someone might be a loyal citizen doesn't mean we should dish them out CCWs. I'm sure there are many situations but I'm too lazy to use one to back myself up :/ Also, you really flared up right there.

you don't just give a CCW to everybody, you give one to everybody who applies for one and fulfills the requirements and pasts the test. instead of denying them that right for ridiculous reasons. using California as an example, here CCW licenses are given but very sparingly. a regular person cannot get one because they are issued directly by your county sheriff. the sheriff is allowed to deny you a CCW for any reason whatsoever be it your political affiliation, where you live, something you said on facebook, or even just because he doesn't like the jacket your wearing. generally in California a CCW is only issued to celebrities, politicians, CEOs, rich people, and private security for rich people. the common man is almost never rightfully issued a CCW in California. laws like these prevent people from being able to defend themselves in life or death situations.

Don't say his name! That gives him credit. I refuse to even remember his name. This should be about the victims, not the coward. That is how I refer to him and how everybody should.

Yeah, and if criminals don't follow laws, then gun salesmen //totally// wouldn't either.

by Anonymous 11 years ago

You don't have to get a gun legally. There's lots of black market salesmen who would be more than willing.

by Anonymous 11 years ago

That's the point, the criminals wouldn't follow gun laws but everyone else would.
