Loughner declined from the army, but passed a background check to buy a gun?

Come back home Asher, come back home.

I am defiantly not big "gun control" guy, but i do not understand why the IT guy "needs" an easy way to kill anyone sitting on his hip. Sure enjoy your rifle and shot gun for recreation needs, but hand guns have very little purpose other than to kill humans.

Oh well.

If so many humans weren't so readily willing to invalidate their justification for being left alive (i.e. by raping and killing other humans, or talking at the theater), then others wouldn't have as much of a reason to need to kill them quickly and efficiently, using a tool that negates the advantages physical strength may normally have.

As long as legitimate reasons for humans killing each other exist, so too will legitimate reasons for having weapons exist.

I will amend, they have very little purpose other then to kill. But I do agree, it seems war has been the catalyst, or the need to kill each other better for the main part of weapons advancement.

How come all of these people who "love to carry guns" are never carrying when the psychos start shooting!?!

Cooks like this guy are the reason I own guns -- someone shoulda just shot the kid.

I carry simply to protect myself and my family. Been that way ever since my wife and I got mugged at knife point in the grocery store parking lot. I'll never make the mistake again of not being able to protect her / myself. I signed up for my CHL class the very next day. My wife and I both have our CHL now...yet I typically am the only one who carries...although she knows how to use one too!

I disagree with banning them -- but I do think it needs to be harder to obtain one...and if your caught with one w/ out a license then the penalty should be harsh.

Just hope him/they arent close enough to stab one of you when he sees you going for a weapon.
