Limiting access to guns will fix the problem like limiting access to spoons will curb obesity. It is very obvious that limiting gun access will NOT fix anything. How do you plan to limit the access? If you're talking about street violence, the vast majority of those guns are illegally obtained as it is. There will be no effect there. 2/3rds (67.5) of all murders in the U.S. are perpetrated using a firearm, which means a 3rd are done via other means; you limit access to firearms, you'll just see more murders with things like knives.

Here's another example. How well does limiting access to marijuana prevent people from smoking it in the 48 states where it's currently illegal? ...Yeah.

All of your rebuttals are absolutely ridiculous. Honestly expected better from you Roland.

I want to respond individually but your rebuttals are so bad I just get frustrated typing. You're not an 8 year old, you can figure out why.

Spoons... weed? Get the fuck out of here.

Do I really need to refute every single stupid comment made?

"Your position is dumb because it just is, duh, can't you see that?" is the standard on this board, and it's why I rarely feel challenged in my positions. I personally don't see a lick of common sense in 90% of liberal planks.

Sonic, you really are a moron. Typical liberal, everything is all or nothing.

Good point fendber... instead of trying to prevent things we should just let things happen freely, because if you can't prevent everything, you shouldn't try.

Does this mean we should consider stricter knife control laws before this happens in the United States?

Knife-wielding man injures 22 children in China

He injured 22 people. He didn't KILL 27.

This morning's news almost tips the scales for me. We obviously don't know how to handle our freedom. I'm not sure we deserve it anymore.

And them 22 kids are going to be scarred physically and emotionally for years.

Besides, what happened this morning in CT doesn't change my opinion. As long as fucked up people want to do fucked up things to other people. They will find a way.

I will re-iterate for you here what I said in the thread about CT... 13 years after Columbine and this nation still fails to protects our kids at school.

And how do you propose we protect our children at schools? Hire security officers armed with tasers or pistols to patrol every playground?
