You do know I don't care? I'm A political. They're all a bunch of no good crooks. You really need to get real. Guns are already on the streets, impossible to round them up. You're attributing gun violence to something that's so stupid. Legal gun owners... Really?

For being apolitical, somehow I know your voting record.

I'm apolitical too.

At any rate, Arizona gun laws are so deliberately weak and supported by our conservative (Republican) dominated legislature that it's not really a mystery to me how these guns end up in the wrong hands.

But, we're not taking in refugees!

There is something wrong with our country if it does not pass the gun control legislation our Bishops are calling for.
And I would agree but I doubt we'll see any decrease in gun violence. Do you comprehend what I disagree with is that gun control laws just won't work? They haven't and won't unless the real root is dealt with and that's corruption.

What the heck are you talking about? You know my political record? I love to know how? Last Saturday was the first time I even voted since I voted against Obama 08'. You know nothing.

I'm sure you recollect a thread titled 'Guess what?"

You really are blaming law abiding citizens? Oh, lord have mercy...and you're serious to. I have no words...

Well, what are law abiding gun loving citizens suggesting?

Here's one who makes some sense:

The thing I don't like is that the liberals protested when guns were being taken away from the gangs. They called it racism because the gangs happened to be minorities. So it makes it look like the liberals want the criminals to keep their guns. That's why conservatives don't trust the liberals on this.

You know my son is moving out, literally walking out the door now to move into one of the worse neighborhoods in N.O. Ive been telling him how he's gonna get shot. I could strangle his butt. He won't have to worry about being shot, cuz I'm going to strangle him. So this issue is real to me. I really am over people in lala land thinking they know what this life is really like. I'm not against gun ownerships. I'm against crime on the streets that these rotten politicians do nothing about.

But it often happens that an innocent child gets killed because they shoot indiscriminately. This just happened within the past week or so in a neighborhood not far from mine. And it only made local news. It always only makes local news when it's a gang-related shooting, even when children are killed. Why is that?
Is that an attempt to reply to my point? Really?

But you don't see schoolkids, doctors or passing shoppers being gunned down by legally held ammo in Europe in anything like the numbers in the US. Just doesn't happen...

I posted this on another thread but I'll post the point here as well. I'm of the opinion that the less a government views its people as persons and the more it views them as statistics the more it's capable of creating civilised, safe and better standards of living.

Can you expand upon that comment?

Still no motive released, but apparently the gunman was overheard saying something about selling baby parts.

If that's true, it speaks to his mental condition, I think, as no reasonable person would be more upset by the harvesting of fetal organs for science than by the tragedy of the abortion itself.
