Loughner declined from the army, but passed a background check to buy a gun? - Page 12

Oh, and guinea? You don't have to cock modern semi-automatic pistols. The Glock that uncle Fester used doesn't even have a safety.

Also, if guns are so useless, I suppose you suggest police and military also not be allowed to carry them? Or are government workers our best hope for protection?

You know who else was fuming about people's grammar? Jared Lee Loughner, just a thought.

We had a guy like Loughner 2 years ago i think in Montreal, he only killed one person because cops disobeyed orders to wait for the swat teams and took him out. Im what most americans would consider a "communist" and I was proud of that cop because he saved lives.

You see, thats a cop's job, not opening up people's head with his baton at protests, not dressing as a protester and pretend hes about to throw a rock at cops to give them an excuse to beat people up. Not harassing latino people because they are latino.

If cops would stick to violent crimes, then im sure america would be a much safer place. Thats why i liked amsterdam so much, the crime rate is very low because cops focus on violent crimes. They dont care if you smoke a joint, if youre drunk in the streets, or even if you smoke crack as long as you keep to yourself and dont cause trouble. I expected Amsterdam to be really bad, sorta like a smaller New York City with junkies trying to rob me with rusted scissors and instead i found a city that felt like a big farm with most of the people being jolly and friendly toward strangers. The only assholes i saw was the tourists in the red light who seemed to treat prostitutes like cattle.

Trying to compare Canada or Europe to the US is like trying to compare an insane asylum to a pre-school. Culture and genetics go much further in determining how many people are going to go nuts or be violent than the prevalence of firearms.

Hassel... rather than go back and forth trying to see who can piss the farthest, I'll say my peace and end my participation in your ever-so highbrowed and impossibly perfect thread.

In the US, I have the right to own a gun.
I would like to see the liberal laws that make it nearly impossible to track juvenile offenders erased. This nut would never have seen a permit if his actions had been available for review.
In spite of the belief of people that spend most of their lives in front of a computer screen, many people have proficiency with firearms, and are still perfectly good citizens that would never commit a crime or kill someone in anger.

That's about all there is to it. Fear me and my neighbors if you like. We all have guns. I hear people practicing with rifles at least once a week. Most of my friends hunt, and most of them can hit a target with a pistol at 75 yards with a 6 inch pattern from a full clip. I'm sure many would have trouble killing someone, but I'd trust them to be there for me over a cop anyday. I've seen cops take 10 minutes to show up in a large metropolitan area, or in the country.
This creep killed 6 and wounded another 14 in less than two minutes.

Is this where I am supposed to place comment about the story being cool to my brother? [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Right, because that's exactly what i have been preaching this whole thread. I think we should melt all guns down into a pile of iron then pray to our new iron pile god. But of course some asshole would then hold the world hostage with a board with a nail in it.

No one at any point said guns are useless. In fact many ahve been very clear on the one use they do have. If you are going to partake in this discussion can at least try and be rational and use common sense. This is not a radio show and your not Sarah Palin.

Then I hear Nancy Palosi or some other equally diseased liberal spew some retarded shit about gun control, and I'm relieved to realize that the vast majority of Americas kooks aren't running around with loaded glocks.
