Thread: Gun Related Deaths In America 2012

The killing wasn't about the fruit. It was probably the last straw after months of stressful existence.

Also, the husband shouldn't have been allowed guns by law. He was a convicted murderer. He had been convicted of murder in 1974 and assault in 1986. Had the criminal justice system not been so lenient, he should have been in prison.

From your quoted article (page 2):

Ayuh,... This thread looks like a Liberal Progressive circle jerk,...

Complete with erroneous info... Who'da thunk....

Yes, guns should be banned for the misuse of less than 1%.

The opinions of foreign anti-gun lunatics holds no water here in America so you are wasting your time.

Um.... Makkede is far from lunacy.

Just sayin'.

Anyone who wants to ban guns is a lunatic.

LOL! We are not 'here in America'. We are all in cyber space and on an international discussion board. So I expect everyone's opinion to be judged upon whether it is logical and reasoned, not upon his citizenship. No reasoned discussion is a waste of time. Knee jerk reactions are.

??? Not sure what you mean by this. You are not focusing on my concern of the thousands of aspiration/choking deaths that plague this great country of ours. There is nowhere in the Constitution that states that we have a right to eat chewy steaks, bony fish, and hard candies like Jawbreakers. Such food items are the assault weapons of the culinary world and should rightly be banned.

Anyone who disagrees is clearly a right-wing anarchist with no compassion for his fellow man/woman. I hope I have convinced some of you to stop the madness and join me and my "Puree-only" crusade.

But I bet you believe your country has every right to police the world.

What a good idea. It's a very altruistic view you have to ensure your countrymen and women stay healthy.

Alcoholic beverage is much better for the palate as the overweighted plates cannot take care of the masses.

If anyone has anymore to add, please post them.

I'll start with this one:

Such a petty dispute and now four people are dead. A terminally ill woman has lost her husband and carer. How confused she must feel. I do wonder if there hadn't been earlier arguments about this. It sounds rather ridiculous that someone would kill three people, then himself just because he wanted his wife to have a piece of fruit.
At the same time, if he was her full time carer, he should decide what meals she has - no one else.

Initial reports that said that Mrs. Gilkey was shot were wrong, and the report was modified.

No one has ever been killed by a firearm....
