If a black homosexual lunatic attacks you with a multi-purpose machete, you are just as dead.

I argued last week that people think the world, or even just America, would be less violent if there were no guns. I argue we would be MORE violent. If I had to choose between being shot to death or being hacked to death, I'd choose the former.

Last week's slaughter would've been much more gruesome had the attacker used a blade.

Yes, it is a sin. But that doesn’t mean that sodomites are not mentally ill.

A cleptomaniac is committing a sin when they steal, but they are still mentally ill.

Someone with Tourette’s syndrome is committing a sin by taking the Lord’s name in vain and spewing profanities, but they are still mentally ill.

There are numerous examples of mental illnesses which drive people to commit sin.

“Seriously though, this a hole didn’t even wait until his kid’s corpse was cold before grabbing the spot light to get his 15 minutes of fame. Shame on him.”

I’ve got three daughters and cannot imagine I would be motivated to lead a national crusade within days of losing one of them, whether by natural causes or violence. I know every man is different, but his actions make no sense to me. Coming so soon after her death, they just don’t seem natural.

A Kleptomanic is a person who steals compulsively for no discernible reason. They can’t help it which makes them different from a thief.

A homosexual can decide not to have sex. Saying a homosexual is mentally ill means they cannot make a decision not to be a homosexual and engage in that behavior. It makes them innocent.

The Western world was a much more dangerous place before guns were invented!

In my case, the answer is: “Whatever it takes.””

including pointing out that the shooter was a racist, gay sicko...and that all of these things are related?

Will you do that?

I didn’t think so.

“What do we need to do to stop this insanity? “

Umm, better mental health screening?

Need to repeal the Community Mental Health Act of 1963. Once one is determined to be bat**** crazy, it's difficult if not impossible to do anything about it without his or her consent.

We will have to agree to disagree on this it seems.

Makes a good sound bite. Just what does he plan to do disarm the New Black Panthers too. Mental illness was the problem not the gun.

Once again, would it make him feel any better if she had been hacked with an ax?

If she and her crew had been armed they might be alive.

OJ used a knife, Timothy McVeigh used fertilizer and the 9/11 terrorists used knives and planes for a total of nearly 3,200 dead..we should outlaw all of the above, right?

Exile liberals, since they are the vermin who created this mess.

Did you vote for that violent race-baiting demagogue 0bama, Mr. Parker?

I bet you did. And that would make YOU part of the problem, Mr. Parke.

What are you going to do about it?

Liberals say that but they won’t discipline their own kids who then throw these violent temper tantrums.
