Not much point gettin' all upset.

Gee, I didn't really think I'd need this--

8. The point is to get very, very, very upset.

3. I don't understand how the large percent of American citizens wants gun control but members of

Congress continues to turn a deaf ear to us, they listen to the NRA. We need to make big moves on those running for these positions, either they start listening to the 85% or we start turning them out to pasture. The GOP is supposed to be prolife but forgets their prolife platform when it comes to deaths by guns. What a crock of crap.

4. There the ones who makes noise.

74% of NRA members want background checks. But NRA leaders know there is a lot of money to made by saying the scary black guy President is trying to take your guns.

That is enough to whip up all the mentally unstable gun nuts into a frenzy.

5. And of course the NRA ask for donations and those scared sends it.

6. The gun manufactures have paid for there

representation. In this country manufacturing guns and ammo is more important to gunners and manufactures with money then lives of children are.
What harm would it do to a gunner to go through life like the rest of us unarmed?
Maybe then gunners would seek professional help for their fear and paranoia and we all could live in peace.

7. Corporations Are More Important Than People

10. $$$

13. Because there is zero correlation

between what people want and what legislation gets passed. It is all determined by corporate contributions.

9. Background checks will never prevent these tragedies from happening EVER. No matter how strict it is

I posted this in another thread...

Background checks only prevents people who have sought treatment for various mental illnesses from owning guns.

The only way to prevent tragedies like this is by a total gun ban like in England and Australia or requiring all gun owners to submit to a $2,500 fee, a psyche eval and interview every 5 years in addition to holding gun owners responsible for any crime committed with a weapon that was not properly secured. Furthermore any gun owner arrested for any crime would automatically have to forfeit all weapons until the case is adjudicated/decided.

Either total abolition or make it really inconvenient and expensive to own one. Its actually harder to rent an apartment than to buy a weapon of death.

Imagine that, its harder and more expensive to find a place to live and sleep than is to kill a bunch of people.

11. Our country is sick....has always been sick, and will always be sick.

I feel for this man and his family. All day today I've been thinking, "what if it was my child, my grand-child, my wife, my loved one.." Oh my God, how we are such a sick nation; to have such sick bastards living among us. But worse than all that, to have so many guns available that we can all just pick one up and go kill innocent life whenever we have the urge. THAT is what is so sick about our nation; and it will never change.

We are never going to collect all the guns in this country. It's impossible. We created this monster. There will always be these terrible tragedies, and more innocent life is going to die for our sick, twisted love of guns. For the NRA to even speak about this demonstrates just how utterly sick and twisted this country is today. They won't even have the decency to shut the fook up and let people mourn our loss, with out them trying to justify how "more guns" would be the answer.

In the Middle East, they live with the fear of suicide bombers...everyday, anywhere. Here, we live with the fear of some angry, hateful sick bastard picking up his gun of choice, and simply blowing away anyone he choses. It's the hell we created for ourselves. It's always been that way, and it always will be. How sad.

12. A candle for all those murdered while our politicians receive kickbacks from the lobbyists ~

15. We the sensible ones should start our grading system, for those who are elected to serve

In legislatures on every level who refuses to vote sensibly and we should vote them out of office until this scum laws are removed. Put liability on the gun manufacturers and gun shops until it hurts their bottom line. More money spend on law suits would be less money towards lobbyist and advertising.
I am tired of hearing it is not against the laws we have for a gun nut running around at will shooting and killing. Guns have become more important than lives, it is time to change our priorities.
