Yet another shooting in the USA

I remember arguing about this on here. I think they passed a law in TX that allowed students to walk on campus with guns; those in favour of the law said that shooting would decrease, I guess not.

So because a shooting occurs NEAR a university it means that it happened on the campus??? hahah

This place is too much

I don't think he was suggesting there was any direct cause->effect relationship between the new law and the recent shooting.

On the other hand you seem to think that if the shooting had happened within campus property lines, then that could be used as a valid argument against liberalization of gun laws?

haha is right.
 
another one today, cops dying this time. This will be solved with more guns!
 
Wont be solved with less. Neither one has anything to do with it. You really are a lawyer?

Do u think a full fledge lawyer would spend all day surfing GTAM?
Things must be really slow
 
shooting in south africa... stricter gun laws than canada....chickenheads please start squawking

In South Africa, owning a gun is conditional on a competency test and several other factors, including background checking of the applicant, inspection of an owner's premises, and licensing of the weapon by the police introduced in July 2004. The process is currently undergoing review,[SUP][1][/SUP] as the police are at present, not able to adequately or within reasonable time, process either competency certification, new licenses or renewal of existing licenses. Minimum waiting period frequently exceeds 2 years from date of application.[SUP][2][/SUP]

Ready source of illegal firearms. Great disparity of wealth. Internecine tribal violence. More open laws in the past, that resulted in a large number of existing firearms.

Want to be afraid? Check their murder rates by spear and machete.

and they still refuse to talk about it...
I don't see how discussing it will be of any benefit. Look at the discussion on this forum and try not to be disgusted at the simple-minded black-n-white arguments. How will a discussion on a national level be any less insulting to our intelligence?
 
I pretty much explained it already. Simply put it normalizes gun use in society, making it less of a moral obstacle for people to make the decision to use guns, whether for legal or illegal purposes. A modest example is that in Europe, the hand signal used when talking about a murder is a hand chop, like the motion of a hatchet. In the US and Canada, it's pointing the index finger and triggering the thumb to mimick a gun.

Demonizing & prohibiting the lawful/defensive use of guns only gives advantage to violent criminals by ensuring victims will be unarmed. Creating a culture of fear of lawful guns & gun owners is counter-productive and pathetic. Who gives a flying f**k what people do with their hands? At the very least, it can be a warning sign for others that a situation needs to be diffused or avoided.
