The Gun Control Thread

[POJO_Risin]

You can't talk gun control before you talk about the lack of funding for students with these types of mental issues. They don't slip between the cracks. Educators spot them every year, report them, and watch special services spit them out for one reason or another...either with a diagnosis that may or may not fit, drugs, or nothing...and that's if the schools even move them through the process. You'll hear about parents complaining...but schools prioritize academic issues (u know, their primary reason for existing) for xtra funding...an that's even cut...

I'm starting this thread so as to not muck up the Newtown Shooting thread. If the mods want to merge this thread with that one, then so be it.

Put your gun control ideas, comments, and comments about the Second Amendment to the US Constitution (what it does or does not say) here.

What should it take to purchase a gun? What classes, background checks, etc. should be involved? What restrictions should there be? Should certain, or even all, firearms be banned? Should there be a restriction on the number of firearms a person can own?

Just bringing this forward for note.

I think people here watch too much TV and too many movies.

I posted this on the other thread, but I think it may be better served here.

As for gun control, we are not allowed blow things up any longer for fun and sport; therefore, why do we need guns that are clearly not used in a homestead manner?

Do you know what a movie is? Do you know what a police officer is? Congratulations, you've just seen a police officer being portrayed in a movie. You even said cops in your insignificant country are allowed to carry guns. And that avatar was up for at least 2 months before the recent tragedy.

No way!! And I thought that it was actually you on that avatar.

Funny you should mention it. I've watched way less TV since I've been hanging out in these parts. How have so many in here been doing this since '04? Hats off to you. I hate sitting in front of a computer. I didn't really start doing any board posting until hand held gadgets came along.

You still don't know when you're being busted on with sarcasm.

In the old days the hand held things people played with were sex organs.

While sitting at the computer? How'd anybody get any posting done?

What's worse, no one stopped your parents from hatching you.

where is your freedom of speach? isn't it as holy as your right to have arms, you hypocrits? THAT'S what happened in Newton but you don't want to look at it. I am not sick. this is what your weapons do, they kill kids. and that's how it looks!

a picture like that should be printed on every package of bullets and every gunbox. show that to your kids Pojo, while you let them shoot.
