Shooting Rekindles Issues of Gun Rights and Restrictions
Shooting Rekindles Issues of Gun Rights and Restrictions
This is an idiotic argument, guns are not allowed on campus. If there were armed people on campus he would have been shot and there would have been fewer dead. A TRUE shame this was not the case. :( If it had been harder to purchase guns he would have done what the Columbine kids did and just illegally purchased them... that whole "it's illegal" thing does not weigh heavily on a mass-murders conscience, ya' know. I wonder if the people who make these kinds of arguments know how silly they sound?:eyebrow: |
I am SO SICK of hearing people say that no one should be allowed to have a gun, especially when these people are able-bodied men. I know too many women who have been raped, stalked or assaulted to believe that a just government would just tell them "oh, go take a self-defense class."
I do believe on restrictions on gun ownership such as background checks, waiting periods, safety training, etc. And I don't believe civilians should be allowed to have crazy stuff like AKs. But every time somebody gets shot there's all this "OMG no one should have a gun!" and that rubs me the wrong way. |
Why not AKs? I had one, it is not a very powerful weapon, what I own now is far more powerful.
Good beginner gun over-all though. What is your issue with em'? The "men/women" language in your post concerns me. |

And RK, why shouldn't I refer to men and women? This is a feminist issue. People I have argued about this with in the past have said that women being raped is preferable to the risk of shootings, and I believe that that is a concern for those of us who seek to eliminate/reduce sexual assault. |

What is wrong with shooting guns for fun? This is in no way a feminist issue. Guns have no sex, anyone can pull a trigger at will for fun or self protection. We often forget that men need that just as much as women. I happen to be very close to a man who has been raped. Self-defense is self-defense. The class 3 permit really just takes patience, been thinking about it and going to Knob Creek. If you are worried about an AK you really don't want to be near my next Christmas present, Barrett M468 assault rifle. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WIZpCLvXsoM |

I'd rather see it rekindle awareness of young people at risk.

And of course it isn't "my place," I'm just saying on the internet that I think that's how it should be. |
