Maybe if we all carried a bazooka around with us we would all be safe….
@ Sunshine ,
“If a teacher could have pulled a gun out of her locked desk drawer yesterday maybe 10 children would have died, not 20?”
Can you imagine if every 5 years old kid had come to school with a gun ? We would have had ZERO fatalities !!
There is no reason for the general population to have access to military style weapons made for the purpose to shot at close range and to kill as many targets as possible. It’s mind boggling.
Comparison between US and Japan, I’ll leave it here. I think the point is made and clear :

@Sam
Your ridiculous and you must know it !
A hand gun is not the same thing as a military style weapon.
Sam:
The Japanese are such a different culture than the rest of the world. Even during their tsunami, they stood in line for food graciously and when they were told there wasn’t anything, they left graciously. All the way around, the Japanese are a very behaved culture.
If you talk to US cops who have ever stopped a Japanese person just for speeding, they get out of their car and get on their knees and ask for forgiveness. That is their culture. I don’t think there’s another culture like it.
Their suicide rate is high, though. But they’re a culture that would kill themselves but they don’t feel the need to take out others with them.
I noticed you left out the Norway shooting in your position. Norway’s a country that doesn’t allow their citizens to have guns, but he got a gun anyway and he did mayhem.
As far as saying if every five-year-old had a gun, that just made your argument so foolish.
No Sunshine I think YOU are full of it and know it with this sentence….
So much for banning prayer in schools. Maybe if it had never been banned this would not have happened.
There was just a psychologist on TV who I think he said he was from Newtown — I’m not sure. But apparently he’s studied the other mass mayhem defendants/shooters from the Aurora shooting, Virginia Tech, Gabby Giffords/Columbine.
You could see he was emotional and he’s angry. But his whole discussion was about the mentally ill. He discussed the signs that all of these defendants/shooters had. There are many similarities. And he’s talking about how it needs to be identified, which in those cases it was, and then action needs to be taken to help them and to provide for them if they can’t be helped.
That is the discussion that needs to be had. It’s the discussion that needs to really advance in how we deal with the mentally ill. The discussion can’t just stop in a month when all this coverage stops. It’s the discussion we need to have at length and then action taken.
People bent on killing other people will do so, period. The number of guns in private hands in Russia is ~12.7 million (US: ~280 million), but the homicide rate in Russia, at 11.2 per 100,000 people, is over twice than that in the US.
There should be heavy regulation and backgroud checks on all military style type sutomatic weapons. And there should be laws that require psychologists, doctors, etc to report/treat troubled individuals who threaten to kill people. There must be something done about this increasingly frequent mass murder phenomenon. No one suggests that guns be banned–they just need to be controlled a lot better. The NRA needs to bend some.
Sam: And remind me again what’s the pleasure of owning guns ? and why does it deserve more defense from citizens than our own children ?
_________________________________________
The pleasure of owning a gun — and the ONLY reason I own a gun — is to protect myself and those around me if and when something like yesterday ever happens in my presence.
Apple–give me the data on TYPE of guns in Russia. It’s essential that automatic military style guns be heavily regulated.
On another topic, did you see where the Fox propaganda network this morning is supporting right wingers who think the government’s regulation of soot is a bad thing–saying it may hurt oil companies’ profits. Of course, doctors support regulation on these noxious vapors but the petroleum lobby does not…..
People seem not to be able to get it through their think skull that there is a difference between a small firearm and automatic and sub automatic guns.
Bev–are you going to carry a gun with you everywhere you go? And how are you going to deal with the fact that these insane murderers use military style body armor. Bev–your gun–unless it’s a machine gun–would be of little effect……….
Yes RedBarSoup,
I noticed that too. No one has addressed the reason we should make military style weapons legal for the general public to use. I’ve never heard of a good argument yet.

What does it have to do with what I wrote?
If you want to prove that certain types of weapons are involved in most of the homicides in either country, be my guest.
The NRA needs to bend some and recognize that military style automatic weapons should be heavily regulated. But, unfortunately, the NRA takes the position there shold be a gun (of any kind)in every pocket. Correct me if I am wrong.
Apple–you miss the central issue–I am not taling about homocides in general, I am talking about heinous mass murders committed by deranged people with MILITARY STYLE weapons.
