What if guns were abolished do people think they would give up the ones they already have?, errrrrrrrmmmmmmm nope.

I'll give up my gun
As long as you're not one of the 17+1 people to try and take it.

On a serious a note, an armed society is a polite society. Manners are good when you might have to back up your actions with your life.

this was expected... many people predicted it....too bad a lot of people watch only the news on TV and don't know what is really happening.

wow you know i actually forgot about that.. thanks for reminding me. I rarely go to the movies.. as i said before, like once a year. but the last movie theater I went to was in Manhattan and it was upstairs, so no back emergency door that leads to the parking lots or whatever. but the one I usually go to, the years before, was like that.

Wut?

Isn't the freedom of every moron being allowed a firearm, so great, and essential to quality of life? Guess other free Western nations must be blind to be happy without gun ownership. Because every dumpster hides a murderer, because you're that important, so you must arm up, too. Just remember so do others. And the more do, the higher the statistic chance of madmen among the gun owners.
Control your firearms, then these things won't happen so often.

I feel sympathy for the victims and their families because innocent people were murdered. But not for the US as a nation, because your ridiculous gun laws facilitated this tragedy.

America, polite? You mean that phoney smile and the "Amaaaaaaazing" squeal? Other than that, I have not witnessed America as being particularly polite. What you're talking about, is feigned politeness through fear. I prefer sincere respect for your fellow man that comes from the appreciation of being just that - fellow humans. Rather than being feared and buttkissed because you might blow someone's face off.

Oh pleeeeeease... Let me buy you a box of tissues if I was too harsh for you. This isn't exactly the Betty Crocker good manners forum. I thought I was pretty refrained in responding to the predictable gun control people who can only blow smoke out of their rear end when a tragedy like this happens. I'm tired of the fact they NEVER use any logic nor will they answer the simple questions asked of them. They typically throw out a few personal attacks against the poster or against the USA and feel like they contributed in some meaningful way to solving a problem they don't have the least clue about.

Every country has unique issues with guns. If guns are the problem, why isn't there a gun problem in Switzerland? If gun control works, why does Mexico have 400% higher gun murder rate than USA. Why is murder twice as high in the UK that bans guns versus Switzerland that requires every home to have a gun? Etc...

Sorry if I have been a little rude, but I've lost patience with the simple minded gun control mantra to solve complex social issues which have very little to do with guns to begin with.

And yeah Creepy, I've noticed your posts and thanks for the support. You have far more patience than me.

This dead horse has been beat enough. In closing, this is the USA, and if you don't understand or know where these two quotes come from, you'll never understand our passion for keeping our "assault weapons" and guns: "The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots & tyrants." "The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?"

Peace brothers. Even if it has to be through superior fire power.

Yeah, your hospitality to your fellow humans on your borders really shines through.

Because we should welcome illegals with open arms? Wait, does America? Your fellow humans also don't seem to include the hundreds of thousands of innocent Iraqis and Japanese you murdered, so I guess you do get to point fingers at border police doing their job...
