The fact someone was able to acquire so much power and so much damage from so far away, with the police not being able to do much says it all, I think. | ||

That's not to say there's nothing to be done in light of events like these... just that it's not so simple as to say the event speaks for itself. | ||

Since the purchase of these frees you of the punishment for the sin but not the sin itself, one can argue that the whole thing is based on fear entirely. How would one person giving anecdotal evidence about himself proof him wrong. A lot of American politicians and television has pushed fearmongering to be their main tool and it is no coincidence that after each big shooting gun sales go through the roof. The generalisation hurts his case but to make a case that fear contributes to gun ownership is not oulandish. Not really sure what it has to do with religion except if he specifially meant indulgences, where the church sold the product of a good afterlive by overstating how bad sinners would be tortured in hell if they wouldn't atone by physical gifts to the church. The difference there would be that people bought the indulgence after the sin and here we are talking about buying a product in case a very very unlikely scenario would make it actually semi-viable. The argument of "if there is ever a breakdown of society, i will be able to protect myself and my family with that AR-15". | ||

My response to jodjodl I'm not saying you all feel fear all the time, I'm just saying that this is always a part of your education & way to live. Not a judgement, but more a fact ? No I don't, and for 2 reason : - all who's connected to any religion is bullshit (for me). For religion you need to replace fear by guiltiness. "ex: if you don't do blablabla yoou'll be a bad citizen, if you don't do blablabla you are not a good person & you'll die alone in hell etc" - "medieval age" > move on dude | ||

Another part of such laws should be the ability to take away a gun from a citizen as soon as something happens which should indicate that such a citizen should no longer be trusted with a gun, such as domestic abuse etc. | ||

I don't see how that logic works with the overwhelming number of gun related deaths in comparison to nations with stricter gun laws. | ||

Nobody has a cohesive story that doesn't contradict itself. The security guy interview on Ellen was also very strange. The guard was supposedly shot but looked fine didnt walk with a limp or anything. | ||
