I was stationed at Ft Hood myself many a year ago; military bases are also “gun free zones”.
Oh well…If they said it on the news then it has to be true insert eyeroll.
Theres a recording from a 911 dispatch I can share of a woman being stabbed to death while on the phone with the dispatcher while waiting for the cops to come. The screams were unreal.
If you are lucky to get Fox News, yes.
If we had gun laws, okay, I wonder how one would do the gun sweeps in high crime areas of the USA say. I’m not sure, as people have pointed out, there are many guns in circulation.
I am a godless person as you call it and I am a good person, as is every atheist I know. I and every atheist I know do good things because it is the right thing to do. Saying atheism is the problem is ridiculous and just laying blame on something you don’t like or understand.
Agreed. Fighting about gun control laws will not get us anywhere. The man’s mother had legally purchased the guns – so preventing “people like him” from purchasing guns sadly would not have prevented this… and as Jim said, if he didn’t have a gun he would have used some other weapon.
IT’s stating the obvious and I’m not for gun control per se but an “other weapon” like an axe would not have killed as many people, this is obvious. Only if someone has the smarts to make a bomb would one end up killing as many people.
He was “smart” enough to use a bullet proof vest. This was a well planned and calculated attack as it is with most massacres like this. So, I think he could have figured out a way to kill more people even without a gun such as with a bomb. And as a matter of fact, bombs are the weapon of choice for most acts of terrorism in the world.
I’ll bet this gun man didn’t believe in God or else he would not have done this.
Note the term “well regulated.”
As above; note the term “well regulated.” The purpose of an armed populace was to have a national defense force in lieu of a standing army. That is no longer necessary despite the delusions of revolutionary grandeur held by the NRA.
Only a criminal using atheist reasoning would commit suicide after a crime like this thinking they are escaping punishment. Christians who believe in God, Judgment, Heaven, and Hell wouldn’t think they were escaping punishment by committing suicide.
I couldn’t agree more! Well said…THANK YOU!
Why would a Catholic person own a gun? Does the 5th commandment not apply to you? What else is a gun for?
15,000,000 or more people live in NYC.
You realize that “regulated” meant something different in that time period? It referred to something being in proper working order. Something that was well-regulated was calibrated correctly, functioning as expected.
