In response to UC Santa Barbara killings, let’s ban everything

They come in different sizes, there are automatic and non-automatic versions, and they were used by UC Santa Barbara killer Elliot Rodger in the most recent murderous college campus rampage. No, they are not guns — they are knives. According to the Associated Press (via ABC affiliate WFFA), the crazed sex-starved killer stabbed three men to death in his apartment before gunning down two women and a male on the UC campus. The distraught father of the sixth victim, 20-year-old Christopher Ross Michaels-Martinez, held an emotional news conference outside the sheriff’s office, in which he said, fighting back tears: Chris was a really great kid. Ask anyone who knew him. His death has left our family lost and broken. Why did Chris die? Chris died because of craven, irresponsible politicians and the NRA. They talk about gun rights. What about Chris’s right to live? When will this insanity stop? When will enough people say, ‘Stop this madness, we don’t have to live like this.’ Too many have died. We should say to ourselves: Not one more.

Remember too the sex-starved psycho ran over people with his BMW. So now what, requiring BMW dealers to do background checks on prospective buyers? Cities initiating voluntary BMW buyback programs? How about another non-profit lobbying organization, BMW Control, inc?

Isla Vista is almost all apartment complexes. We need to ban them as well. Macadamized roads, too!

Even convicts in prisons get their hands on weapons and kill each other. How do they propose to take the weapons out of the hands of free people?

The libs are in charge and they know it. They have no answer to all the fail they continually push on this Republic.

They become apoplectic. They blame everything on those not in charge. Liberals, by design, cannot accept blame for anything.
Yet they know they are responsible.

This young man planned and executed his plans. It would not have mattered what weapons he used he could have set fires on buildings the people were in just as well. He was out to destroy and that he did.

Better he is not here for he refused to continue with medication and help offered him...thus his own end and needed to be so.

I worked with a woman who had a son similar....a lifetime of seeking help for him from one place to another....his parents knew one he was of legal age, and they no longer could commit him, they would get a call in the night, among many prior, that he was dead. They got that call from their son as he was being surrounded by police, she heard the shot which took her sons life.

The problem is easily solved, simply ban all knives, sticks, clubs, vehicles of all kinds, ropes, poisons, large kettles, heavy frying pans, boats, helicopters (PEOPLE HAVE BEEN DROPPED FROM THEM) fire, water, venomous creatures of all sorts, lions, tigers and bears, horses, chimpanzees, pythons, tall buildings, the grand canyon, mountain cliffs, waterfalls etc. I am sure there are many things I have not listed.

What do the Fed's do with 300 to 500 firer fights in 50 states at one time? If you want the Confederacy to stand again this could do it in the South.

If the motive of our PC Society is to ban evil deeds, then let us start with the evil committed by Federal Politicians.

They are the Mentors that we elect to tell us how to run our lives, and as Federal Politicians go, so goes America!

Since all perpetrators of evil are now considered to be victims by our PC Society, punishing them has long since been discarded, as our Society has come to realize that no one in Society, especially Federal Politicians, is ever to be held accountable for their actions, inactions or statements.

If we want to guarantee that Federal Politicians obey our requests, then all we have to do is to demand that they pass Regulations and Laws on themselves so that “WE CAN BE SURE THAT THIS EVIL NEVER HAPPENS AGAIN.”

BTW, why haven’t Banks placed Anti-Bank Robbery Regulation Signs in their windows so that Banks would never be robbed again?

***BTW, why haven’t Banks placed Anti-Bank Robbery Regulation Signs in their windows***

MAD Magazine did a spoof on BONNIE AND CLYDE about 45 years ago. It was how bank robberies would be done in other countries.

In GERMANY, the couple go up to the bank see a do not rob sign on the door, then go away defeated.
