yes, and in case you need proofm http://www.aljazeera.com/news/asia-pacific/2012/02/20122294486118604.html
and it looks like over 30 people at this theater had a demonstrated need for weapons training.
I don't know if my right to keep and carry weapons is god given or not, I just know I have it. And it's not a right to kill, but a right to self preservation. anything else said by idiots who want to ban weapons is mentally limited.
You were founded on freedoms yet you sat back and watched them eroded . Freedom is not an American thing. Most countries in the world have at least as much freedom as America has.
so people don't have a duty and responsibility to provide for their own safety?
having trained with both, I must tell you that you are wrong, my friend.
yes, accidents can happen. nothing will ever change that, unfortunately. And again, you can never prevent crimes within a household because you can kill with anything including your bare hands.
There is no such thing as "god given rights" there are only "Human Rights" and we consider it a human right to be able to defend life, liberty and property. That doesn't justify those who abuse that right or interpret it with literal fanatacism.

on this, we agree wholeheartedly. the problem we deal with now is those of us who declare our freedoms and say we will defend them, violently if necessary, then have to deal with people who consider us crazy. damned if we do and damned if we don't.
Fuck I bought a gun at an auction the other week. No questions asked. I paid the money and left with the gun. I could go out right now and have pretty much the hand gun of choice with in a day. Now I can understand that to poorly educated right wingers filling out a form is a major challenge and would be a major difficulty for you but for us literate people it's not really a significant challenge.
this is not true. I have no wish to kill you, but I will if you intend to take away my rights. I sincerely hope it never comes to that.
I simply cannot understand the mindset of a group of people that willingly surrender their best tools to defend themselves.
I concur. That's what I meant by the "throwing the baby out with the bath water" comment. However, we do need a balance between protecting our rights and common sense public safety. Though I have no idea how that would apply to this particular situation and if any such common sense measure could have prevented this.
if you were literate, you'd be able to read and understand the constitution instead of relying on 9 black robed tyrants to interpret it for you.
Agree. but how often does that happen? and that was an ACCIDENT.
most of those gun deaths are gang related, so most people are just not going to give a damn. at least half of the others might have been prevented had other people been around to defend themselves with their own guns.
