    I hate to be Devils Advocate here but all of this is for naught. Lets consider for a moment the idea..er fact that with the advent of a new News cycle Americans tend to forget about.....um...um...Cho and the likes. Hell I can hardly hold attention long enough to figure out what I've just forgotten let alone get enough drive together to ..."MAKE AN IMPACT!" I think sadly enough that people..not all but most...just dont give a shit.
    Unless it happens to you or someone you know/love its kinda like...yeah It happens..its the world man...its the face of evil..(Thanks Bill) Weve all seen this kind of carnage 10000000000 times in movies and on The Worlds Most Dangerous Police Chases!! oooooooooh. Its just the evilution of the country. Romans cheered and drank merry whilst men were being torn apart by lions....oh now that is entertainment....Weve been De-sensitized.
    How many people in this thread saw 9/11 and thought "This looks just like a hollywood movie?" I know I did. I could bitch and crap all night long...but you see I just dont give a shit........................maybe.

    Should this not be in the music section? If not I will stick to guns and roses.

    They should give everyone guns. It would create more jobs in the Medical and Undertaking industry. Sadly you would have to couple that with less jobs in the Food and Clothing industry.

    It's true what someone said earlier about the Drawing Room. There is two sides to every argument with neither side willing to change.

    The last episode of 60 Minutes talked about the fact that, in many states, a mentally defective individual is not flagged as such on a background check when buying a gun.

    WTF!

    Even the NRA supports those folks being flagged. THE FUCKING NRA!

    There was some idiot fuck from The National Gun Owners of America (or some shit) saying that a psychotic individual should have the right just like anyone else.

    Sadly in some cases individual freedoms trump public safety.
    NO ONE with a mental problem should be allowed to purchase a firearm.
    We could count the ways that such an individual could get a gun today
    but we would be here all day long.
    The fact is that in an open and free society these things will always happen.
    Then again....

    p.s We will always have the argument of Who decides what level of mental instability falls into the category of being flagged? I think for any "sane" person this is a question of
    common sense...no?

    IMO the fact that you want to own a gun makes your mentality suspect.
