I'm no expert on heaven and hell, though I'm quite sure the that two cowardly bastards shooting kids in both Colorado and Pennsylvania are on the autobahn expressway to HELL.
Shooting anyone unarmed, least of all a cowering little girl of six years is as dispicable an act as PinF can stomach. To hell with the NRA and the 2nd amendment! I know their twisted old excuse about "people kill people, not guns". Well if we didn't have so many damn guns so easily and readily available at least it wouldn't be as easy as strolling into a school and holding an execution.
This damn country is based on glorified violence. Perhaps George Bush ought to consider taking the likes of these homicidal scum and let them go fight his immoral and deceitful war, at least then we wouldn't be trading upon our countries' future by sacrificing our young soldiers and children's lives on a contrived, immoral, and illegal war. I see today dubya is calling for a government investigation on how to prevent such events---good one George. How about a "war" against guns?
*** CDC STUDY STATISTCS NOTED: The study used 1994 statistics supplied by the 36 countries. Of the 88,649 gun deaths reported by all the countries, the United States accounted for 45 percent of all gun related deaths in the world.
Here are gun-related deaths per 100,000 people in the world's 36 richest countries. United States 14.24; Brazil 12.95; Mexico 12.69; Estonia 12.26; Argentina 8.93; Northern Ireland 6.63; Finland 6.46; Switzerland 5.31; France 5.15; Canada 4.31; Norway 3.82; Austria 3.70; Portugal 3.20; Israel 2.91; Belgium 2.90; Australia 2.65; Slovenia 2.60; Italy 2.44; New Zealand 2.38; Denmark 2.09; Sweden 1.92; Kuwait 1.84; Greece 1.29; Germany 1.24; Hungary 1.11; Republic of Ireland 0.97; Spain 0.78; Netherlands 0.70; Scotland 0.54; England and Wales 0.41; Taiwan 0.37; Singapore 0.21; Mauritius 0.19; Hong Kong 0.14; South Korea 0.12; Japan 0.05.
PinF is pissed. I'm sick of seeing the future of this country sacrificed nightly either at home or abroad so that some cigar chomping fat cat can keep his gun collection. Why is it that George Bush can mess with my constitutional rights in the name of national security, but if anyone dares consider questioning the "right to bear arms" it is met with the vociferous cries of the right in this country? Where is the outrage that our personal rights are being trampled on-- all within a 5 year span?
I'm not so naive to think that outlawing guns will stop murders, no more than I am to think that the death penalty does. One needs only look at the murder rate by guns in other western countries with gun control laws to see the incredible impact such a measure would have, and just how many lives would be saved. If George can take away my right to privacy, them damnit, we ought to be able to take away these sick bastards rights to shoot little girls in school.
Our constitution is the bedrock on which this nation was built. Let the NRA explain the merits of the 2nd amendment to the grieving parents of these children.
