Crime Deadly shooting kills 26 in Newtown, CT

[KaerfNomekop]

People can get really petty when you kill their kids. Enough to go out and kill 20 other people's kids.

What could you possibly do to someone that pushes them so far as to kill 20 children? I don't think you can put the blame on others for this one.

Well, using a Death Note on a person and put all the blames on that person is plausible.

I just don't really see that happening. I doubt you could find records of something like that anywhere through history. Perhaps the parent of a murdered child would go after said child's murderer, killing the murderer's children in vengeance, but to go on a random child killing spree after your own kid was killed? I just don't see it, man.

 

[seph ir oth]

Making this a gun control issue is awful.

If the man wanted to mass murder children, he was going to be able to do it, whether it was with guns or with knives.

The publicizing of these incidents is what drives people to do it. Nobody remembers the names of the victims. Everybody remembers the name of the killer. The press mass-releases his name and shows his portrait for everybody in the world to see. Rather than die a loser, he dies a famous villain.

We are the true crime.

Less guns do mean "less deaths!" Just saying.

Not at all?
What do you think? If guns were illegal that nobody could get his hands on them?
You know that hard drugs are illegal right? But there are still plenty of them being consumed every day.

I am not "pro" guns here, personally i dont think guns should be sold in public, but i dont think that stricter gun control would have prevented this massacre. Not at all.

 

[Fatmankev]

If we weren't allowed to have guns, then the law-abiding citizens would be almost defenseless against criminals... I mean, they're criminals. They don't obey laws. They'd still have guns, and they're the ones we're worried about, right? So how would taking guns from the people that use them properly help?

 

[FireCat]

Not at all?

Of course it is. Guns make it "much easier for people to kill, on a larger scale" NO?

No. Bombs do, you can make those yourself.

 

[FireCat]

No. Bombs do, you can make those yourself.

Yes. But carrying a bomb, easily done?

 

[Accname]

Yes. But carrying a bomb, easily done?

Of course. What do you think how much it weights?
Dont you ever watch tv? The terrorists in the middle west always do this, suicide bomb themselfs into innocent bystanders.
Its even easier then trying to shoot them.
They cant run away, they dont know it is going to happen until its too late.

Suicide bombers are mostly "brainwashed" to die as suicide bombers.

 

[Accname]

Suicide bombers are mostly "brainwashed" to die as suicide bombers.

Thats not an arguement.
What do you think is the difference between suicide bombers and people who run amok?
You can say both of them are misguided or crazy or whatever you want. But they will effectively kill people and you can not stop them.

 

[FireCat]

But they will effectively kill people and you can not stop them.

But you can ALWAYS reduce the risk!

 

[Fatmankev]

But you can ALWAYS reduce the risk!

But making something illegal does not reduce that risk.

 

[Varine]

This would have been easily rectified if the teachers were allowed to carry guns.

 

[Fatmankev]

I'm still in favor of having more police officers working in schools instead of out on the streets rectifying traffic violations, making peoples' lives more difficult.

 

[Varine]

Uhh no? Police in schools is a shitty deal. Where else are they going to sell weed? Where will freshmen go to get high before class if not the back of the school? Plus I don't like police, they don't do a very good job. And they're narcissistic dicks.

 

[camelCase]

Yes, but criminals don't like the narcissistic police either and will shy away, knowing that there are a bunch of them in a building.
