your a awful person who is masturbating over the all these deaths because you find somthing unseemly

what sick is goldy is happy this happend it gives him ammunition for his causes. he is happy anytime this happens. he and the stranger are a huge part of the problem in america.

ez availability of guns is to blame for this tragedy; the prime authors are politicians who got nra endorsement and backing and fostered the lies that guns don't kill, gun smake us safe, guns are protected under constitution, blah blah blah, all lies, just look at japan with its 10 or 20 deaths by gun a year and.....no violence plagued ghettos. now underclass of 20% condemned to not be able to plaly outside, left to rot by the dominant majority there. and no hundreds of millions of guns all over.

guns kill. thus, armies buy them. so do the zetas. so in america, the nra cult has helped spread all these guns all over like they are high def TVs or any normal consumer product. the shooter's mom had the guns. this let the becoming crazy kid get them and do the deed. this would not have happened in japan because a mom in japan would not have guns.

your right goldys metaphors should lead to his banning.

According to the CDC, in the US, alcohol is either responsible or a major factor in 75,000 deaths a year, where as guns are responsible for around 30,000 (about half of which are suicides).

I mention this because I can't go to the Stranger's web-site or open a paper copy without seeing blatant promotion of alcohol culture. If the writers at the Stranger were truely concerned for the well-being of people they would be as up-in-arms, if not more, for alcohol reform. However, alcohol reform isn't a sexy issue.

Now, I know what some of you are thinking: "A (insert scary-sounding gun here) is meant for one purpose; killing people. And this is true, reduced to its most basic purpose. However, that would be like saying that alcohol's one purpose is killing brain cells. But most people don't drink alcohol to kill their brain cells, because it's most basic function, in spirit, is to allow it's user to loosen up and have fun. I would then argue that a gun's most basic function, in spirit, is to secure liberty against the threat of a tyrannical government.

So Stranger, if you're for gun control, I can't change that. But spare the rhetorical nonsense. The indignant tone of your gun articles is clearly done for the sensationalism, rather than the substance.

I don't understand what there is to debate. The crime of individuals isn't and shouldn't be a crime for everyone else. Yet this is what Americans keep repeating. We already have created a dangerous police society after 9/11, and now the emotional reaction to the outrageous slaughter of childern is to disarm our citizens?

For every person who thinks that is a solution they need to reflect on history and the 90 million people murdered by their own government over the last century. There are no arguments of any kind to arm with inferior weapons to those of a potential agressor.

A discussion of gun control is a discussion over enslavement. That is the proposition plain and simple.

How convient that the killers in both recent cases are themselves dead. Have you no questions about why that would be? Simple minded knee jerk reactions targeting ownship of firearms is plainly the express purpose of these shooting. I seriously doubt we are simply dealing with a distrubed individual in most recent case.

For one thing a review of the news not broadcast might be revealing. Wake up people, indeed there is an enemy inside the gates, but it isn't your neighbor and his prized gun collection.

With over seven Billion people in the world is it even worth the fight?
Yes what happened is awful and even more so that children were involved but it is not guns. Guns did not kill those 28 people, a young man killed those people and he happened to use a gun.
The deaths that happened in this one event will overshadow the deaths of domestic abuse, drunk driving, drug overdose, suicide, accidental death and natural death and the list can go on and on.
The families of Newton and this tragedy will never be forgotten but what about everyone else who lost their life this week? The mother who was beaten to death or the father who took his own life, the 14 year old lesbian or gay man who took their life because they were different.
The death toll cannot be justified for any one cause and blame and finger pointing needs to be eliminated because fighting for one cause and debunking another is counter productive.
The Stranger who has fought so hard to change the Constitution to allow and accept Gay Marriage is Balls Deep in Changing the Constitution to eliminate a personal belief of others by owning a gun. Ironic?
