    See #21. It's not that we're more violent per se. It's that the death rate is higher. And that's because of guns.

    I believe there should be a comprehensive review of all firearms laws, the revocation of obsolete or just flat ridiculous laws and the enforcement of common sense laws.

    That said, nothing will stop people who are criminals or out to cause harm from getting whatever weaponry they can.

    Which are taught in schools around America?

    We just nailed it!

    The root of the problems is in what the students are being taught!

    Stop teaching Shakespeare and put armed guards in the classrooms to make sure the teachers don't mention him!

    That's some NRA logic for ya. What a moronic shifting of blame that speech was.

    These people must truly be mentally challenged.

    Probably helps that the same guns we see killing people in games and movies arent in everyone houses.


    "There's a lot of ugly things that happen up there as well, just not as publicized or exploited. "

    Of course there is but at least a person with metal illness issues cant easily get a hold of a gun. Sure our drug dealing gang bangers can get guns somehow, but the average person would have no clue. I watch the news all the time and right now half of our news is on everything going on in the US.

    I know for a fact that FOX News is on a campaign to stupidize America. They are a propaganda machine. Plain and Simple.

    It is not illegal to lie, but the civil damages those lies cause may have liability issues. I wonder if it would be possible to hold them legally responsible?

    LaPierre looked like a kid trying to argue the point of why he should be able to live on candy, bacon and donuts instead of real food.

    Yes for sure, but i really do feel sorry for a majority of Americans. I feel sorry for the victims who lose loved ones for no reason and for everyone else who hates the gun laws and cant do anything about it.
