for the record, i don't think a person should be able to use "assault weapons" or "machine guns" or "rocket launchers".
i do think guns should be allowed.
but certainly not everyone is "qualified" to use a firearm.. even if you legally, rightfully can have a weapon, it doesn't mean that a "kook" wouldn't steal it and use it in a nefarious way.. i am convinced that you could take licenses away from drinkers and they still could get behind the wheel and wreak havoc.. you could ban switchblades and gun silencers and people will still find a way to quickly slice you up or muffle a sound.. you could ban or try to curtail cough medicines and people will still find a way to get high.. we cannot, government cannot---control what people will do.
Justin Bieber almost got kidnapped, abused and killed by some nut jobs.
Damn....
If a crazed person sets out to kill or maim, they often will.
True. But in Justin's case, it's expected and precautions are taken. Celebrities are magnets for the ill of mind it seems.
One wouldn't think such threats should exist at a school.
we have 9 guns for every 10 people in this country.
since more guns = better protection, i keep asking myself why there is so much gun violence here ???.
i don't see such violence in canada, australia, europe, japan and other so-called "advanced" countries.. what is wrong with us here.

Good question.
I don't see such violence in Canada, Australia, Europe, Japan and other so-called "advanced" countries.
The stats presented seem to corroborate this. And it doesn't seem any of them are becoming fascist states because the poplulace isn't armed.
What is wrong with us here. If everyone here had 2 guns instead of 1 would that make us safer? Again, what is wrong with us here in the USA?
Questions that as yet seem unanswered
all believers in god begin with the premise that he is the creator.. but-stop!.
go back one step.
what about before god was a creator.. creation is the "beginning" for the created--but--not for god.. .
Well, it could be said that it is impossible to know what it is to BE god. That which is less than cannot be the whole.
The experiment is futile as it's result will differ with each sample.
It's impossible to know every sample
lol
i know some have thought that about me.
my family used to but i think that hope is dwindling now..

Ditto. For 25+ years the return to the fold was hoped for, and fought over.
However, upon my admission that I'm essentially atheist with the reply that "there's no hope for you then", I doubt that still exists. But I don't care about it as I once did.

it is astounding that one can choose to block out factual and relevant information as if it doesn't exist.
just because it would make their current reality 'messy'.
making it all about outward apprearances.

No one can call it a wooden shoe.
What does the one who made it call it?
If it wasn't made to be that, then what is it?
Moreover, what does joe think of a shoe that isn't what he doesn't have?
