"Bowling for Columbine"

I use to be pro gun....but i have changed as a result of too many postal and columbines.....If A guy waks into our building ( like at all tech ) and starts swinging a club or a Knife...your chances of survival are pretty good.....if he comes in with a shotgun or hand gun...you have to wait for him to reload and then run...but when they get these automatic weapons...your dead....i want a fighting chance...Its very naive to say " keep them out of the hands of whackos".....almost EVERY single mass shooting starts with " what went wrong with mild mannered and quite John david struts".....true, some have a history of mental illness, but many do not......here is what i have been proposing for quite some time:

1 year amnesty period....all guns get turned in ...unless your a cop or soldier, no handguns....

If you are pulled over or found to have a handgun....six months in jail no parole no exceptions

If you use a handgun in any crime or threatening manner...10 years, no parole

If you fire the weapon that your not supposed to have in a crime....life in prison, end of story

If you are found even possessing an automatic or high powered weapon...1o years no parole, even if it was in your trunk

NYC has a handgun law but so far the only person they ever prosecuted for it ......was Bernie Goetz....we need to start actually enforcing laws and making it a hazard to carny one.


BTW Michael Moore is a big fat ass:D
 
Quote from Gordon Gekko:

michael moore is annoying.

as if there's an epidemic of the columbine stuff. so maybe 10 kids per 5 years (in the entire country) attack their school. there are bank robberies all the time. it's just a different type of crime. crime happens all the time all over the place. this was just something new and it stunned the world.

for whatever reasons, these kids are just really pissed off and frustrated. eventually they reach their limit and act out in violence. you can't make everyone in the world happy. there are always going to be pissed off people and there's always going to be crime.

These school shooters are the biggest pieces of chicken shit I have ever heard of. They only attack unarmed populations of people that typically haven't done much of anything to deserve it and are not defended at all. If they survive they should have more than their dope cut off.
 
Quote from Madison:



there is a higher rate of gun violence in New York City and D.C., where guns are prohibited, than in Vermont, where concealed-carry permits aren't needed, or in the vicinity of the bank where they were giving out free guns in the documentary.

but whatever side of the argument you're on, it was a well-made documentary, and worth watching...

And if you put 10 rats in a 10 gallon tank guess what happens:-)

You're right though, it was worth the time.

Not naive, just tongue in cheek. It's way too easy to get a gun in the US, that's my point. Just go to Wal Mart and ask the 15 year old behind the counter to give you the shotgun and some shells. Waiting periods and background checks are a good first step EVERYWHERE that guns are bought and sold. The point is that very few people that are going hunting (for deer and ducks) just drop into Wal Mart on the morning of the hunt in their camoflauge and ask for the rifle they'll use that day. I can see where some pissed off WACKO goes into Wal Mart and is ready to go hunting (for people, or his boss, or "whore girlfriend") and will buy the gun on the day of the hunt.

Common sense.

And as for punishing people that aren't careful with their guns, I'm all for it. Maybe not life in prison though:D

You wish you knew what you were talking about.

How about if he comes at you 60 mph in his car?

Also you are a wussbag. Someone is trying to shoot you, is "reloading", so you run? How about kicking his ass?
 
Quote from damir00:

that was an interesting study and provided some good insight, but those are very misleading statistic. they do not relate to how many violent crimes are committed per capita, they relate to something quite different.

The U.N. study we are talking about gives violent crimes per capita. England and Australia took the lead after they made it illegal for law abiding citizens to have weapons. Like I said, it's OK with me if you keep ignoring the evidence. I'm well armed and have the 2nd Amendment to make sure I stay well armed.

Damn TM, Dick sure is spewing a lot of smack for a Friday. I'll tell you what, if the guy missed and he's reloading his MUSKET, I'll just bum rush the fool. Otherwise, I'll leave the ass kicking to you because I'm outgunned and I'll just assume he's a good shot. No point in finding out the hard way!
 
To all the English, I especially liked the story a few months back about those kids arrested, taken down to the station, and fingerprinted for playing "James Bond" with a toy gun. It's important to quash such behavior at an early age.
