This thread does make matters look nearly hopeless…no one wants to even seriously consider a compromise. Very sad imo.

The all-or-nothing approach does not work.
Realistically, do you think you can get the country to make such a compromise? The country doesn’t see a connection in the problems, and I don’t see them being negotiated as such. As I said, we show we’re pro life and willing to make compromises in this area and then hope they accept the validity of pro life in the other areas.
 
Yea, the one at the mall, and this one at the school, both ended the sprees; when they turned their guns on themselves.

Edited to add: Didn’t the guy in the theater also kill himself?
Sad someone with a gun was’t there to stop them earlier isn’t it?

Lets keep in mind one little small point, the gunman in the Conn, school shooting was wearing bullet proof body armor.

Not sure what it would’ve involved for an armed teacher to take him down, if they were armed.

He may not have been fatally shot if he was wearing that he may have been debilitated which could of stopped him

It’s perhaps the best you can get. If you have 40-50% of the country for something, chances are you’re not going to get 3/4 of the states to ratify it. Whereas if you can get 40-50% for A and 40-50% for B then including both A and B may increase your chances of getting 75% for both A and B.

Look at the 14th Amendment which has seemingly no connection in its provisions.

Do you have a link that supports that?

I don’t know enough about bullet proof body armor to know what the effect of being shot are, to comment more on the subject.

I wonder if the guy could have been possessed by a demon. If he was, killing him would not kill the demon, and the demon could move on to possess someone else who is open to it.
 
The shooter in CT was not wearing body armor.

If he was, it should be easy to prove it with a link

Exactly. But, according to some of the logic here, maybe teachers should ALSO wear body-proof armor for self-defense along with packing guns and perhaps a few grenades before leaving for work.

Come on now Jim you’re better than that… your own link said unconfirmed reports:

WINDHAM, N.H. (WHDH) – There are unconfirmed reports that the shooter in the Newtown, Conn. school massacre entered the building wearing body armor.

Let me help you comprehend here. I said, ‘gun control’. I believe people have a legitimate right, and use for guns, but that more control is necessary in today’s world. Did that help?

I would have no qualms about checking my gun in and out at the sheriff’s department to go hunting.
Then its not your gun is it?
