GUNS DON'T KILL PEOPLE, OR DO THEY?

[FAHQTOO]

On Facebook, there are several sites honoring victims of Sandy Hook and parents' dedication to stopping gun violence, and plans to sue gun maker. I posted my comments as a tribute to the parents and you would not believe the comments, i.e, the usual '"guns don't kill people", guess i will sue my knife as it cut me, and the most ludicrous of all, it was all a hoax.... What.....people really believe that. We have all talked about guns in the hands of crazies, more mental health facilities, earlier identification of potential killers, etc. There is no one solution, but it should not be easy to obtain a gun in our country. We lead the World in deaths by guns (and I don't want to hear about how you are going to sue your car for making you crash or whatever). Yes there are crazies with gun, but we read every day about stupidity. Several people suggest arming school teachers. Is that really probable and a good decision overall. There are some of you I would want around me if threatened by someone. However, i think i believe that many of us, 5'6" and 125-130 lbs, even armed with a gun, would be overpowered by the bad guy and they (me) would be shot dead. Anyway, I told these crazy nutcases to get off of these sites unless they could respect the parents/families of victims and offer possible solutions to problem instead of whining, arguing incessantly about guns and saying this never happened. It dawns on me how many stupid, clueless people out there should never own weapons of any kind. How can we keep weapons out of their hands? I know this won't stop criminals, etc from getting guns. I have heard all the arguments, but to do nothing is irresponsible IMO. You may not agree with my analogy, but 2 years ago in May, I had a bad case of shingles (no, it is not a venereal disease). You have virus in you if you ever have chicken pox. People are more prone to getting it as you age. Stupid me didn't know there was a shot to prevent it, but there is...get one. Anyway, pain is unbearable...i had shot in spine, strong drugs, nothing worked except oxycodine or something like that. I still have couple pills left over from that prescription in May 2012. Now, if i get a repeat of this disease or something equally painful, it is more difficult because abuse of these drugs is out of control. In summary, it is more difficult for me because of those who abuse drug, but I tolerate it for the sake of the abusers.....Now if we could do this with guns, e.g, do more in-depth background checks, require references, etc.....get my drift? I am left with this thought. Several people have posted on a thread honoring the victims of Sandy Hook, that this really didn't happen, it is just a part of a Gov't cover-up. Can we continue to deal with such assholes? Let's round them up and have a firing squad take care of these crazies. As i have said many times, i really have to stay off of Facebook. I hate people more every day.....

I'll agree with you about the hoax thing...I don't get where that comes from in someones mind at all. It makes me furious and I can't imagine what it does to the parents of those kids when they come across that BS.

I would also agree with certain stricter gun laws for law abiding citizens. I also think that if a child gets a hold of a gun and kills someone or themselves, the parents/guardians should be charged with involuntary manslaughter and a lifetime ban on ever owning a gun again.

Why are you so intolerable of anyone elses opinion? Why do you let it upset you so much. You know exactly what you're going to get when you click on those links so I guess you get what you ask for. I'm guessing we're on the opposite end of the political spectrum. You don't think I get pissed when I see ridiculous shit that makes me want to punch someone.
For example...I want to throat punch damn near anyone that has any once of faith or respect for the worthless POS POTUS we're stuck with for two more years. It boggles my mind that anyone can see any good in him at this point. Or...I want to punch someone when I see anyone actually thinks Micheal Brown was an innocent upstanding young black man and not the worthless thug that he was, and got what he deserved when he went after a cops gun.

But alas...I've learned to turn the channel, or click off the link when I start to feel my blood pressure rise. After all, we live in a civilized society, and everyone is entitled to their opinion no matter how stupid it is.

If you wanted to be off FB, you would be off FB.
