LOL. Classic. Yet some how, the original post contains much more thought than you put into yours....

Anybody see any other reports on this?
Why did the shooter kill him?
Revenge?
Lunacy?
Kid didn't make the team?

If someone wants to kill someone they can do it in different ways and they can get a gun anywhere. Now a man has been killed and all you can do is your hate toward the GOP! Moron!

Not everything has to be politicized. I guess to some people, politics is all they care about. Relax, it's one five minute vote cast every two years among millions. Let's have some fun out there, people.

The point is that these many incidents fan the flames of gun control by their sheer weight of numbers. Blame the shooters and killers for restrictions on gun ownership, not gun opponents.

It's that sort of attitude that allowed an inexperienced lefwing extremist to win the presiduncy last year.

It's not hate. It's reality.....

Guns make it too easy to kill. The people who are elected to protect the citizens, should make it harder for innocent people to get murdered... shouldn't they?

A gun can kill in an instant.
Hand to hand combat is much more difficult.

Cowards use guns to murder.

The point is that you freaking Dem think that when someone is killed by a gun that they bought it from a gun store! My point is that if you want to kill someone by a guin and you can't get one all you need to do is shop for and get one against the law. BTW if you want to kill someone you can do it with a freaking knife. Outlawing guns does not prevent this. You freaking Morons will latch on to anything that the GOP backs.

See I can talk to a poster who makes a sound argument, but you are a freaking idiot. People can kill without a gun you stupid ass MORON. The weapon used is not the issue dumbass! Your liberal views have made you think that guns are the issue when in fact you can kill any body with anything you freaking retard!

The problem with this approach is that when you "blame the shooters and killers", that should mean to punish them, but that is not what the gun-banners incite for. They incite for denying constitutional rights for law-abiding citizens, when no gun law will prevent a sociopath from getting a gun no matter how many restrictions you place on the law-abiding.
