An Opinion on Gun Control
« on: December 21, 2012, 08:32:53 AM »
Here's a great read from someone who wrote a blog post about Gun Control...

http://larrycorreia.wordpress.com/2012/12/20/an-opinion-on-gun-control/
Sons are a heritage from the LORD, children a reward from him. Like arrows in the hands of a warrior are sons born in one's youth. Blessed is the man whose quiver is full of them. They will not be put to shame when they contend with their enemies in the gate. - Psalm 127:3-5

Interesting quote from the article referenced...

Over the last fifty years, with only one single exception (Gabby Giffords), every single mass shooting event with more than four casualties has taken place in a place where guns were supposedly not allowed.

I wish he had cited his source for this information, anyone know where it came from? 
“If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen.”


― Samuel Adams

Another point is, most of the shooters don't survive mass killings. The only two I can think of off the top of my head are the Gabby Gifford shooter, and the Ft Hood shooter, and he barely lived. The point being, they are obviously suicidal. It's hard to stop someone who is willing to die to kill you. The same with suicide bombers, that's what makes them so deadly and effective.

We have to find a way to identify people in this state of mind before they carry out these atrocities if we really want to prevent these tragedies.
A man who fears suffering is already suffering from what he fears. ~ Michel de Montaigne

Looks  like if given the time he may tell you.....

"EDIT2 After two straight days of responding to as many debate posts in the comments as possible, I’m fried, and hanging it up for Christmas. I’ll still be approving posts periodically, but that’s it for me as far as arguing (and it has rapidly turned into the same thing over and over again)  This post has been read 150,000 times now, gotten national media attention, and been reposted all over the internet. Awesome. I was sincerely hoping people would share it, so thank you very much.  Have a Merry Christmas. "
