Things that made you Facepalm today (Political Version)

AR-15 used in the massacre in Kentucky was only purchased a week ago according to police. All these shootings by folks with no prior criminal histories who purchased weapons and used them in mere days later commit mass murder. The only common theme is how easy it is for distraught people to purchase these weapons. A mere two week waiting period could have been the difference between this shooting never happening.

The common theme is mentally ill people.

Mentally ill people without guns can't shoot people. But also interesting, if as you claim this mentally ill person walked out of a store with an AR-15 but wasn't mentally ill enough until he was fired? Interesting theory, imagine if the gun wasn't in his hands.

This is literally the worst and most cringe attempt at mental gymnastics I've ever seen.

Just quoting again for emphasis on how stupid this is and how stupid you are.

I think it's cute that you think an extended waiting period is going to stop someone from going out to shoot people if they get a gun legally. All the extended waiting period is going to do is:

1) make the person wait longer and plan more or
2) they'll find a way to obtain a gun another way

If you come around to say, but ban guns so it'll stop these killings! Ah...that's also cute that you'd think that.

If someone is set on killing someone else, a gun doesn't need to be used. If they can't get a gun and are still hell bent on killing someone or others, nothing is stopping them from doing such acts with other objects, such as: vehicles, bombs/explosives, knives, baseball bat, golf club, bare hands....a pencil.




You really should work on being less stupid because post after post after post that you make that others read, they keep wondering (and some even keep asking):

What? We just saw a totally mentally ill woman in Tennessee shoot 6 people. You know, our VP went there and ignored their families and praised the transvestite community last week.

And guess what, if she didn't have those guns she wouldn't have shot anyone. Thanks for making my argument for me.

We're talking about guns here, not your theoretical mass murder with pencils. Rejoin the conversation when you can follow along.

If we had a problem with people yelling “FIRE!” in a movie theater or “I have a bomb” in an airport, would your solution be to place a ban on everyone from ever speaking the words fire & bomb?

Do guns shoot anything whenever no one is pulling the trigger?

Also Seran: If heroin was made illegal, drug addicts wouldn’t be able to abuse it and overdose. We just solved our country’s drug abuse problem! Yay!!
