The post that was quoted here has been removedApart from the obvious, more subtle for some is that the psycho in China with a knife
with the purpose of this item ,in general, not necessarily to kill
was not as "successful" as the psycho in Canada with a gunwith the purpose of this item, in general, being to kill
. I wonder why that is? 😕
Of course bring on the same old pro-gun argument: [killing machines] don't kill people, people kill people with [killing machines]

Originally posted by sasquatch672You are honestly saying that the constitutional right to carry guns, essentially with few limitations, does not significantly increase the chances of an event of this horrific barbarity taking place?
That more guns in the hands of law-abiding people would avert tragedies like these.
The reason that terrible events of this nature continue to happen in the US is the availabilty of guns and acceptability (Both legally and socially) of owning and carrying guns. Apart from hunting, policing and military purposes there is no need for a person to reasonably own a gun.
My prayers to all those touched by this unspeakable tragedy

The post that was quoted here has been removedHaving read about the subject earlier the idea was implanted in my head (somehow) that the location of the shooting was in Canada. In writing my response that error made it's way into my post without any quality control (like re-checking where you said it happened - the United States)
