The Giffords woman that got shot was on TV briefly over here. In
favour of gun controls. (Surprise, surprise) Americans/their kids have to get shot, before they are in favour of gun control. A few here evidently need shooting. Be interesting to here their views after that. |

Even when I did not tell him properly how to hold a Glock and he raked his hand, He continued to shoot while I found a band-aid. What thrilled him most was a target I had with Michael Moore's face on it. He shot it up to take back to one of his coworkers who was a Michael Moore fan. |

Yeah and I'm not proud of that. It also seems to work the same way for adding stop lights or stop signs... when enough fatalities occur, then they change the road sign/light (well at least in Texas). |

You make the mistake of believing that anyone in favor of the right of the citizenry to be armed wants to harm or kill anyone who disagrees with them. I would never want to see Cousin Harry harmed over what he believes. Even though he is not an American, I believe in freedom of speech for everyone, even Harry. Besides, if Harry went away, what could we do for entertainment? ^_^ TDD |

If only we could figure out a way to let responsible gun owners have their guns and keep them out of the hands of the gangstas and the lunatics.
Someday maybe technology will provide a solution to this ongoing problem. |

Jimenez insists they tried to drive away and that as they did, Sailors fired his .22 gun and shot Diaz fatally in the head. Sailors has been charged with murder with malice. Lilburn, Ga., Police Chief Bruce Hedley told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution: "At this point we have established probable cause to charge Mr. Sailors." Sailors' lawyer, Michael Puglise, told the Journal-Constitution: "He is very distraught over the loss of life from the defense of his home. This incident happened late in the evening hours when he was home with his wife and he assumed it was a home invasion and he maintains his innocence." Among the unknowns is whether the GPS was simply programmed to the wrong address or whether it might have been in some way faulty. Another question that might arise in some minds is that if Sailors was, indeed, defending himself, how is it that he allegedly shot a man who was reportedly driving away from his house? =========================== Now, which company is going to get their ass sued off in civial court for "wrongful death" ?

The NRA advocates putting armed police officers in every school in
america, the problem is that in pennsylvnia alone that will cost 16 million, per year. So why not tax weapons and ammo to pay for the costs of poilce protection in schools? anyone who buys a gun or ammo should be able to afford the tax, it gives the NRA what they want, and the school children will likey be better behaved |

Why is the solution often offered... tax an uninvolved 3rd party for benefit of another? |

So, you raise fees on the people who don't commit crimes, to pay for
protection from people who do? I guess that's the way the rest of society works. I pay various property and municipal taxes, so the cops can do thier job. Christopher A.

It's a mental disease. *You can tell it from the rantings of someone here.- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - What is missing here are all the hundreds of thousands of cases where a gun similarly prevented a serious crime from occuring. Gee, I wonder why? As for this particular case, I'd wait to see how it turns out when all the facts and evidence are in. For one thing, it seems very strange that the teens say the man fired a warning shot into the air, then shot the driver as the car was leaving. The act of firing a warning shot suggests that the man didn't want to needlessly harm anyone. And as for the eventual facts being totally different, just look at the George Zimmerman case. Actually, they have no case and by now it's obvious. Did everyone see the picture of Z that finally came out about a month ago? The one that shows his badly beaten face and broken nose? The police and prosectors had that from day one. Yet, even while the media were all showing pictures that didn't appear to show significant injuries and everyone was claiming he wasn't injuried at all and death threats were being made, the authorities deliberately withheld that pic. It was only released after the media instituted legal action to get them. |

Far cheaper and just as effective All that's needed is to get rid of the "Gun Free Zone" signs and replace them with "Armed and ready to defend our kids" signs. After all the Aurora Co. shooter had 7 other cinemas that were closer to choose from, but specifically went out of his way to go to the one that was a "Gun Free Zone".. Too bad that hoplophobes are just plain stupid and unable to go with the simple solutions. |

Dunno to whom. I grew up with cap guns, and
westerns movies. Maybe we need to buy the kids more capguns. I knew the difference between play and real. Just like I saw a zillion Wyle E.

Replace one teacher's aid per school or combine ten classes into eleven. Get rid of a study hall (and fire the babysitting teacher). I note that you think all such solutions are worse than losing children. Real nice. So why not tax weapons and ammo to pay for the costs of poilce protection in schools? Why? You're just like the moron lefties who got "Saturday night specials" banned. You don't believe the poor have any right to self defense. You don't believe anyone does, but the poor are particularly expendable. anyone who buys a gun or ammo should be able to afford the tax, it gives the NRA what they want, and the school children will likey be better behaved They don't cause the problem. Why should the burden be on them? IOW, you're in an idiot. |

Pay them an additional X dollars a year, say $2,000. Instead of paying $40,000 a year for a security guard, it now costs $2,000 problem solved. It's already being done in TX and FL and contrary to what the libs would have you believe, no one is dying.... Don't pay them anything. Just *allow* concealed carry in schools. Train teachers and staff, if you want. Maybe make it part of the administrators' job description. No reason to pay more money. The fewer people who know who's packing the better. |

I think the writing is on the wall. Nothing's going to change today, nor tomorrow, but things are going to change so far as assault rifles go in the US.
That Sandy Hook shooting affected the American conscious more than any other, and most Americans now believe SOMETHING needs to be done. I think it was Thomas Jefferson that said that not being able to change a country's constitution is like requiring a person to wear the same clothing throughout their whole life.

See how many people enroll their kids there. That sounds a lot like "school choice". What kind of a whacko are you? |

Much like the Poll Taxes the tax you recommend would not pass constitutional muster. tobacco taxes are spefic to those who smoke, happily they dont effect me at all. but those taxes are too low given the health care costs of smoking....... |

The NRA advocates putting armed police officers in every school in america, the problem is that in pennsylvnia alone that will cost 16 million, per year. So why not tax weapons and ammo to pay for the costs of poilce protection in schools? anyone who buys a gun or ammo should be able to afford the tax, it gives the NRA what they want, and the school children will likey be better behaved They are already taxed. A federal 11% excise tax is levied on pistols and ammunition and a 10% is collected on long guns. These taxes are paid by the manufacturer. |
