Neither actually, but this is a thread about what happened in Colorado. Not a thread about Syria, so if what happened in Syria needs to be known start a new thread about it. No sense in making one bad thing look lesser because more people died there. Keep them seperate. Its fvcking stupid that when something like this happens someone has to one up it. Like i said, let people talk about what happened in Colorado in the thread about what happened in Colorado and start a new fvcking thread about Syria. One tragedy isn't worse than another.

Ya that's why I remembered it

Originally posted by ax412 Nah we should be allowed the right to bear arms. We can't stop crazies from getting guns. We can work to stop cops/soldiers with post traumatic stress from going nuts.

agree

i don't think people need semi automatic or automatic rifles... our government probably sells more weapons then everyone else combined... Dems talk about gun control and then get busted shipping arms to Mexico? u can't believe anything that any politician says... Dem or Rep

Originally posted by -DaGoN- I did hear that he got all guns legally, I can't understand that, simply can't..

What is difficult to understand?  He broke no laws, had no criminal background except one speeding ticket and no (known) documented indications of mental instability. Would it be better if he had gotten them illegally?  Made it somewhat more comprehensible?  It still would not have changed what it is..an obviously deranged individual who was set on causing harm.

I personally believe that there needs to be some limitation to what can be bought but the laws in place are enough.  It is impossible to prevent every possible situation.  To do that would be giving up too much of our rights.  Besides, he seems off centered enough that if he couldn't do it legally then he would have had no moral issues with doing it illegally. 

dude's nuts but nothing special when compared to all the other nuts worldwide who have their hand in killing children & other people everyday but we forget about them so much quicker because the media chooses not to make a spectacle of them. horrible incident as any loss of human life is....the world would be so much better off without guns, and those people who say we need guns for safety are full of it, its their kind of paranoia & fear that enables this sort of stuff to happen more frequently & more violently then it would otherwise.

Well I obviously just see things differently then.

if gun control wasn't so politicized then maybe there could be some rational decisions made on the issue, but unfortunately people are totally devided and unwilling to be open minded on the issue... if politicians weren't so full of sh1t, hypocritical and political about the issue then they'd probably be able to make gun laws better without needing a total ban on all guns, but there will never be a way to stop this type of thing! there's just too many guns in the world now... criminals such as illegal arms dealers will always be there ready to sell this same type of person whatever weapons they can afford... our law inforcement and legal system obviously can't handle gun control and keep us all safe... were a Country with 300 million citizens... there's always going to be a few that have no love or respect for life for whatever reason, and there's not much that can be done about that... hope for the best, but be prepaired for the worse would lead a smart law abiding citizen to think that he needs to have a 9mm baretta strapped to his side and a gun permit in his pocket at all times, but i just couldn't ever see myself carry'ing a gun period... if i was in this same situation just try'n to watch a movie, and i had kids with me and i had a gun? how could i not shoot this dude even though i don't believe in killing for any reason? i don't ever want to take a persons life so i'll never carry a gun... i'll leave the rest up to GOD to decide
