Yep, like someone can't just be a NUT, it has to be the fault of something else. Guns, alcohol, drugs, he didn't get an A on his paper....whatever. -- nm

- he'd find a way. Nuts find a way. -- nm - Epiphany Jul 20, 06:21 7
  - strangely it always seems to be the guns, though. -- nm - Reagen Jul 20, 06:41 1
    - Just once I'd like to see one of these incidents with throwing stars. - Mel Profit Jul 20, 06:56

        you have to go through checks, bullets need to go into something. - Epiphany Jul 20, 06:41 1

- As if somebody this crazy wouldn't think of... another way to accomplish this. -- nm - Strongbad Jul 20, 06:21 3
  - the other ways really aren't as easy though. -- nm - Andie Jul 20, 06:22 2
    - It's a lot harder to stab 50 people -- nm - Guigue Jul 20, 06:25 1
      - It has to be the easiest way since it's the one all the nutjobs use... -- nm - Guigue Jul 20, 06:26
Well, we can't do nutjob-control in this nation...so we gotta take away the ability of the nutjobs to kill others. - Will Hunting Jul 20, 06:18 26
- so then he'd use bombs, he'd use arson/fire, he'd use kitchen knives, he'd still kill lots of people. - Epiphany Jul 20, 06:21 24
  - Sure, he has other tools. But most of those either have significant controls in place, or lack the ability to do massive damage in a short time perio - Will Hunting Jul 20, 06:28 17

      - An ammo nitrate bomb is not *that* simple to build. And if you try to buy enough fertilizer to build without, you know, being a farmer - Reagen Jul 20, 06:53

      - Yes, and a number of control regulations were put in place after that with nary a peep from the National Bomb Association. -- nm - TWuG Jul 20, 06:33
      - Sure thing. Let's ban that shit too. This is absurd. "But he could use ammonium nitrate to ... " - Will Hunting Jul 20, 06:32 1

      - but that has happened a few times. people get shot in public places *all the time*. it's because guns are easy to get and easy to use that they are - Andie Jul 20, 06:31 10
        
        I don't think anyone is saying it would never happen again, but we do other drastic things to save a few lives, yet better gun control is out of the - Guigue Jul 20, 06:33 9
        
        i agree with you. i am saying, that those 'people will find a way' arguments are true, but they don't take everything into account. - Andie Jul 20, 06:35 1
        
        Oh I was totally agreeing with you! I probably should have replied to someone else, but your post made me think of this -- nm - Guigue Jul 20, 06:38

        because we have the right to bear arms. And they can't make all the guns disappear - Epiphany Jul 20, 06:36 5
        
        We can, we should and I cannot believe that we do not. - Other David Jul 20, 06:58

        we will have to agree to disagree -- nm - Epiphany Jul 20, 06:44
        
        maybe that right needs to be modified. seriously. -- nm - Andie Jul 20, 06:37 1
        
        I think its a slippery slope -- nm - Epiphany Jul 20, 06:45
  - You control the ones that kill the most efficiently. It's hard to kill twenty people with a knife, no matter how many of them you have. -- nm - Roger More Jul 20, 06:25 2
    - bombs are pretty damn efficient - he had tear gas - lets make that illegal. Trying to control people who can't be controlled - Epiphany Jul 20, 06:27 1
      - tear gas should be illegal. bombs are. all the other things you mentioned are illegal. -- nm - Andie Jul 20, 06:28

      - Speaking of, you will be interested in this article about Florida voting laws -- (link) - Roger More Jul 20, 06:51
- i still like Chris Rock's bit about making bullets cost $5000. -- nm - Andie Jul 20, 06:19
