IN THE PAST? I WAS IN SCHOOL IN THE PAST. DONT EVER REMEMBER 17 KIDS GUNNED DOWN. HERE IS THE FOR FUCKS SAKE MOMENT: GUN ADDICTS ARE TO BLAME FOR ALL THIS. THEY REFUSED TO LET ANYONE PUT RESTRICTIONS ON THEM. NOW LOOK WHERE WE ARE. ITS TO LATE NOW. THE ONLY THING THAT MAKES ANY SENSE, GIVE EVERYBODY GUNS.
The first school shooting in this country occurred before we were officially a country (Enoch Brown School - the teacher was shot/killed/scalped and 9 kids were scalped). This school violence shit has been happening for more than 250 FUCKING YEARS! You may not remember it, but it's been happening.
Blaming "gun addicts" is fucking stupid. Most - virtually ALL - gun owners spend their days killing no one at all.
They refused to let anyone put restrictions on them? Are you fucking serious!?! Guns are THE most heavily regulated private ownership Constitutionally protected property in the land. That one statement alone signifies the degree of ignorance you bring to this discussion.
Next you'll be saying that we need to ban AR-47s with 30 magazine clips that shoot a thousand rounds a second.
Seriously. Read a fucking book. Or an article. Or something that makes you seem less ignorant on the subject against which you speak so passionately.
