A lot of Government are people that live in their communities. I have a har time believing they will take action against the elderly an mothers with their kids.
Any people that take that kind of action for the government will have been disconnected so to speak from their communities already.

Yeah, because I'm sure the gays would be all over you.

Actually I have been hit on by gays. How would you even know what I look like anyways?
Wait a minute. Are you gay? How do you know what gays like?
There could be no conceivable consequence to valuing an arbitrary and dangerous "right" over sensibility and there's no conceivable way we've been watching the consequences for the entire history of this country.
Just kidding guys, HUNTING! And RIGHTS!

You're so black and white with this, calling everyone who's pro-gun stupid in your own special way. You're a pretty smart dude so what's the mental block with guns? Why are you anti to the point of not acknowledging all the innocent women and children they have saved? Doesn't add up to me.
Women and children are born on the losing end of an arms race.
It's cool if you don't want to answer.

Stop, just stop. Virtually everyone on here who owns a gun has needed it to defend their home at some point. Life or death, man.
If anything is done, it has to be a multifaceted approach. Just blaming these incidents on mental illness is about as useful as saying "Guns don't kill, people kill". I'd like to see more done along the lines of what's taken place over the last 25 years with cigarette smoking and drunk driving. Personally I'd like to ban certain weapons and ammo altogether, but aside from that, how about a campaign to make certain behaviors more socially unacceptable - like using certain extremely destructive ammunition, keeping guns unsecured and easily accessible to other family members, ban advertising for certain types of weapons and ammunition, stuff like that. Folks would absolutely howl, but if it could be done for smoking, why not?
And I know this is going to sound like the old fogey that I am, but does anyone else think there might be some connection to violent video games and movies? What typically is the target audience for those? What is the typical demographic of these mass murderers? Again, we need to do more to make these things negative influences more socially unacceptable so young people will be less exposed to that level of violence.

To need legs to run away from somebody that is chasing you is not an argument that having legs is good.

Legs themselves will not kill someone. The bullets from the gun will.
Are you trying to make a bad argument, or are you just as misguided and stupid as I know you are?
So it's the bullets that need to be banned, not guns?

Way to deflect and prolong such gun-toting idiocy.
Yeah man! BOOM! Look out, Scat is on the war path!
