Terror attack in Charleston

[fastboy21]

the racist thing isn't the issue. the shooting murdering people for any reason is a big one.

its an election season in the US...this is being setup to be a prime sounding board for all kinds of issues. race, freedom of speech, religion, gun control, mental health issues, and more...even the more savvy politicians know not to touch it too much too soon or it looks phony. so sad.

in any case, this guy is going away because he is a crazy murderer; not because he is a racist.

Perhaps your focus is too narrow.

I'm not against all forms of violence. For example, I would applaud violence done to your stupid fat face.

Would banning guns save lives? Most certainly it would. Like I said, however, fixing the American diet would save far more.

Control yourself, Not others

This is where your argument falls apart. People can control their own diet. People can't control other people shooting them so much.

Are people not realizing that all of the mass shootings are happening in gun free zones? Where people can't shoot back?

Schools are gun free zones in most states. Churches are gun free zones in South Carolina.

I'm sure some people can provide some quick references to shootings that happened in non gun free zones and how many of them were stopped by other citizens who could shoot back.

The occasions when an armed citizen shoots the assailant with a legally owned gun doesn't make the news since it doesn't fit into certain people's political agenda.

As a combat vet and FAST platoon member let me just say 'no thanks'.

People who think that they can shoot an armed attacker (talking small arms here) without hitting others,nobody or everybody doesn't understand some basic principles of today's currently sold rounds and what is actually envolved in hitting your target at the far end of your effective range.

Edit- ps don't ban me !1!1!!!

I disagree with you. I feel I'm pretty proficient with my guns, a glock .40 and S&W shield 9mm (my concealed), as I shoot quite often. Now I understand shooting at a moving target that may also be shooting back at me is quite different than shooting at a paper target, but I feel I have a better chance at surviving than if I had nothing at all. I live in an area where gun violence is very real, and I feel safer knowing my family and I have some form of protection, even if I'm not the best marksman in the world.

Using a bunch of people being shot to further gun control, how dare he link such completely unrelated things.

that dirty rascal!

who does he think he is? trying to get away with eliminating shooting sprees in this great country of ours. you ain't gonna slip that one past me barry you sly fox!

You realize it takes a person to pull the trigger right? Guns don't fire themselves. Even if there were stricter gun control laws the only people this would effect would be law abiding citizens. If someone wants to obtain a firearm to commit a crime, they can get one illegally through a multitude of other ways. They can even obtain a gun legally at gun shows where citizens can buy and sell guns without background checks and what not.

Stop being mindless sheep and do some research before you jump on the gun control band wagon.
