I hate guns and the saying guns don't kill people, people kill people while true is also using semantics because guns make it easier to kill. <br /><br />In many of these mass murder cases, however, it is not so much the right to bear arms as the fact that they use automatic weapons. No one needs those. I do know some people who live in upstate NY, Wisconsin and other rurual areas who hunt. We chose to disagree on the gun and hunting issue, but they don't use automatic weapons and agree with me that the sale of them is uneccessary.<br /><br />Also when the second amendment was written there were no automatic weapons just rifles. did they even have handguns? Maybe we should limit the arms to those available then.rolisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04194997122191242427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5175562867822111389.post-66700043776822289962012-12-18T20:48:53.811+00:002012-12-18T20:48:53.811+00:0084 people die every day in the US from gun shots. ...84 people die every day in the US from gun shots. This tragedy makes the news big-time, but it's only a quarter of a daily dose of gun deaths.

Which means that she would have had to be walking around the school with a sodding great semi-automatic on her shoulder? No thank you.<br /><br />Oh, and the hilarious thing is that I have just tried to send my in-laws a wine basket and failed. Although you don't need a permit to buy guns in Arkansas, you're not allowed to send wine. You know how dangerous that Cabernet is.

That we can ban rap music with the WORD "gun," yet sell a gun a few aisles over at Wal-Mart sickens me. <br /><br />Guns don't kill people, people kill people," they will say. "You can't get rid of all the guns out there," they will say. Well, just because we can't prevent every act of lunacy is no reason not to even TRY. I don't know how anyone can look at the photos of those little children and not want to try something.
