or multiple-gunshot wound victimizations might not yet be apparent.

Back to the 1950s and as you Firefly love locking people up you should be all for such a program.

Back to the 1950s and as you Firefly love locking people up you should be all for such a program.

I am all for that program...on any given night I could nab at least two dozen people on the streets of my downtown who rightfully should probably be in an in-house treatment facility.

These folks are bad for business.

How 's business, Hawkeye ?

He was 24? Highly intellegent? And, been planning this for weeks on end, including taking out anyone that entered his home...and his Mother knew he was capable. All with orange hair and quitting Uni in June.. .

She knew him as a kid, child. She saw there were issues then. If she believed that they had the right person, internally, she always knew he was capable, how friggen sad..

I imagine he went to alot of Doctors throughout his life, but none could change his mental problem... No one suggested he was totally nuts either.. They always seem to have an extremely high eye cue, in my opinion.

Shirt, sorry I changed the subject from guns but ...........................................

Irrelevant. Banning the private ownership and use of cars would save untold lives.

That's just ridiculous. Banning medical practice could be argued for on that principle. Banning electricity as well.

If you can't, or won't, see the difference between cars and guns you are not someone it is worth having a discussion with.

You're having your paranoia exploited for business and bureaucratic reasons and your mind controlled and in a permanent ferment of righteousness based on a faux obsession with an old, out of date, mouldering document written for a world as different from ours as to be unimaginable in any realistic sense. Movies are not reality.

And your solution for the paranoia can only cause it to get worse.

Freedom would be having a gun and nobody knowing about it. Having one at the discretion of the authorities is faux freedom.

We're not serfs.

If Holmes had yelled "fire" in that movie theater, we would all be agreeing there needs to be some limit on the first amendment to protect other people.

A study last year in the Journal of Trauma-Injury Infection & Critical Care analyzed gun death statistics for 2003 from the World Health Organization Mortality Database. It found that 80 percent of all firearms deaths in 23 industrialized countries were in the United States. For women, the figure rose to 86 percent; for children 14 and younger, to 87 percent. Can anyone seriously claim our comparatively lax gun laws had nothing to do with such blood-drenched data? ...

Regulations, it is said, just won't work. Bad people will get guns somehow. But if that were true, why did the assault weapons ban work?

If regulation is futile, why do we bother to regulate safety in so many other ways? We manage to prevent needless deaths through rules on refrigerators, automobiles and children's toys, yet politics block us from keeping up to date on the regulation of firearms, whose very purpose is to kill.

The polls still show considerable support for practical measures to curb gun violence. For example: a 2011 New York Times/CBS News poll found that 63 percent of Americans favor a ban on high-capacity magazines; just as many supported an assault weapons ban...

The Brady Center to Prevent Gun Violence examined the impact of the Assault Weapons Ban in its 2004 report, On Target: The Impact of the 1994 Federal Assault Weapon Act. Examining 1.4 million guns involved in crime, it determined that since the law was enacted, "assault weapons have made up only 1.61% of the guns ATF has traced to crime — a drop of 66% from the pre-ban rate."

....

Rational people might wonder why Holmes or any civilian would need an AR-15 assault rifle.

They might question how Holmes could outfit himself in military-style body armor, acquire a 100-round magazine, and amass 6,000 bullets without anyone in authority noticing.

People might wonder why anyone would kill 12 people in a movie theater, or kill six people and gravely wound a congresswoman outside a Safeway in Tucson, or shoot to death 32 people at a university in Virginia.

They might wonder why 30,000 people die from gun-related violence each year, clearly enough to constitute a health menace worthy of research.

Can you read, and understand, what you post?

The law must be magical after all.

and also some of the St Pete gay playboys have threatened to attack my business (they claim to be looking or it)

Couldn't you have them prosecuted for causing trouble (or even shoot them in self defense, should they get violent)?

The only relevant difference between cars and guns is that it is illegal to ban guns in America.

So, it's Palestinians, Italians, and now Homosexuals you want to exterminate.
