 Coolness: 129635 | Good or bad idea or this topic just what the media is hyping at the moment?
Funny how I don't remember anyone in America even shedding a tear or making a big deal when they were killing hundreds of thousands of little Iraqi kids for no reason |

 Coolness: 166460 | Everyone can stop worrying, I found the solution to the entire gun control issue ...
Give everyone a bullet-proof vest, or better yet (hopefully soon) a force-field. The best offense is a great defense, no? ;) |

 Coolness: 28230 | Newtown is roughly 40 miles from where I live. This is the worst loss of life disaster to hit this state since the I-95 Bridge Collapse in 1983. The event was shocking in so many ways. However, the problem with gun control in the US is the way our government is structured. America has a decentralized form of government...meaning we have 50 states, cities and counties having different rules and regulations on everything. Because of the 2nd Amendment and our general conservative attitude, Washington has left most gun regulations to state and local governments. Connecticut, New York and New Jersey (the home state of the gunman) have the most stringent gun laws in America (semi-automatic weapons for instance are outlawed). However most states, especially in the South and West have little to no limits on gun rights. So, many people (criminals and legal buyers alike) go to these states and purchase guns with little hassle or questions asked. Add to this the "Stand Your Ground" law (legal in 31 states) which allows people to use deadly force if they feel their life is threatened. The best thing one can hope for in the wake of this tragedy is the reimposition of the Assault Weapons Ban (which George W. Bush let lapse in 2004). Outside of this, don't expect any new gun control laws in the foreseeable future. Washington cannot even pass a simple budget....let alone anything else. And remember, we had a sitting member of Congress last year from Arizona (Gabby Giffords) who was shot point blank by a gunman and NO piece of gun control legislation was introduced in the aftermath.
BTW, there are actually more legally held guns (310 million) than people (300 million) in America. |

Probably true, but all I remember is those guys going to the UN with their made up stories and then the next thing every news outlet is celebrating the shock and awe of bombing the shit out of them, like it was fireworks or something Thank god Canada stayed out of that one |

| Coolness: 145115 | the poster is made by JFPFO (Jews for the Preservation of Firearms Ownership) so i think they are allowed to do that...
It's not sophistry either, the gun debate brings out such strong opinion in people (both for and against gun ownership) this leads to the 'no compromise' attitude which i believe has poisoned the debate...I think that there is room for a compromise that leaves both parties happy, what that would be still needs to be addressed... |

| Coolness: 28230 | In fairness to JPFO, they also cite Joseph Stalin, Pol Pol and other dictators as reasons why Americans should be leery of any gun restrictions.
[ www.ecclesia.org ] Of course, their arguments make the leap into the world of the tin foil crowd by comparing these leaders to Obama and other Democratic politicians. [ jpfo.org ] |
