We have been killing each other from the first days that walked out of the caves,
We will go on killing each other long after we have returned to the caves.
Guns just take some of the work out of it.
Never mind that Europe turned its back on Christianity and embraced socialism which teaches that people are nothing and the state is everything.
“And how many were killed by the German Government in WWI and WWII? Tens of Millions? Tackle the big government nanny/marxist/totalitarian problems and round up the socialists before you try to round up innocent gun owners.”
Probably one of the best posts I have read on this site in a long time. And could you imagine if EVEN ONE Republican would have the guts to make this point aggressively the next time gun control comes up? Would force the history lesson into the mainstream and force some perspective. Brilliant post, MtnClimber.
Brilliant!
Why didn't we think of that before! Let's just pass laws to make it illegal to shoot people and this will never happen again! Oh, thank you for starting the "Just don't shoot people!" movement! /s
Said Jim Taggart...
None of the current crop of Republicans has the brass to bring it up.
“gee more gun control in germany? when did that last occur?”
I’d say it’s pretty tight right now. I don’t think you’ll see another Hitler, though.
I’m so sorry, but a gun by itself cannot kill anyone. We don’t need gun control, we need NUT control.
I have looked at this site time and time again over the years. Still, no assault weapon violence!...

it’s not just this incident that worries me. personally, i think the e.u. might dissolve within a year. there are too many diplomatic and economic conflicts between e.u. countries to say that a “hitler” might not come to power. imho
Vultures exploiting murder victims for political ends.
I'd easily wager that Mexico and Parts of Europe wouldn't be anywhere near as bad as they are now if they had gun ownership they way most of the US does.
The pattern is there for all to see. In each and every place where gun ownership or possession is the most restrictive, violent crime is MUCH MUCH higher. There is no denying it.
If passing a law restricting guns seems like a good idea, wouldn’t passing a law prohibiting murder be a better idea?
As well it should! If it were easier to legally carry a firearm in this country more people would be armed and these massacres would be even more rare than they are today.

Nope, bunch of pussies, across the board.
