Senate fails the country again.

If anything it should be made easier to buy guns. Give them out to everybody. Let the crazies thin out the herd a bit, its not like there's a shortage of humans.

Imagine the world with 1 billion less people, there's your miracle world economy fix.

Gun control, this reaction is another symptom of the real problem we face in this world today. As if taking away or putting restrictions on a handful of material objects will solve our problems.

How about we consider the fact that we shove mind altering drugs down kids throats during the most important developmental stages of their lives? How about the fact that the family unit has been devalued and many kids grow up in broken homes? How about the fact that we have turned a spiritual life into the subject of ridicule? And you wonder why the world seems so fucked up?

The only way to prevent these tragedies from occurring is with a fundamental shift in the way we live our lives, the way we treat each other, and the way we think about ourselves. But we would rather just pass a law and take a few inanimate objects away from people. =)

Please cite sources that prove that the majority of Americans supported the bill.

If you need that you're uninformed. Or you restrict your viewing to Fox News and the Rush Limbaugh show. Either way, it's a fact.

You're missing the point, however. A MINORITY in the Senate blocked a bipartisan VOTE with a filibuster. Grats to the "winnerz" who think they live in a democracy instead of a Fascist state.

If the bill had been VOTED down I wouldn't need to say a damn thing.

Stopped reading there. Go back to faux.

We live in a fascist state becuase senators used a common procedure to block a bill that violates your liberties.

And you wonder why we say liberalism = mental disorder

So about those countries where people are restricted on gun ownership, or can't even own them in the first place, like Canada or Japan. Pretty interesting that both countries have lower crime rates despite everyone's claims that gun control won't help, huh?

Not reading through 12 pages to see if someone else mentioned it. That's a headache and a half trying to read through a bunch childish of bipartisan bickering and feces-throwing.

Canada also has 1/10th the population dispersed in the same amount of area. They are also a politer society.

Crime rate is almost identical per 100,000 though.

Well...the filibuster itself is another issue. It needs to be fixed. The problem is that legislation that should be debated and voted on isn't hitting the floor, and that the filibuster today is a far cry from what it was and what it was intended to do.

Nice job stacking the deck why didn't you mention Switzerland? They have highest gun ownership although arguable because handgun ownership is so restricted and they have almost no violent crime from guns. This is a nation where they give 20 year old males an M57 assault rifle to keep at home for about 3 months while training and people in Switzerland can buy all kinds of military weapons. They also received their independence through a revolution and have militias at the ready for their defense (these gun owners/citizens).

For those who dont click links -

"Government statistics for the year 2010[15] records 40 homicides involving firearms, out of the 53 cases of homicide in 2010.

The annual rate of homicide by any means per 100,000 population was 0.70, which is one of the lowest in the world.[16] The annual rate of homicide by guns per 100,000 population was 0.52.[17]

Yeah...the Swiss have a nice health care system and the world's nicest ghettos, too.
