    So you admit that despite laws banning them from getting guns, they get guns. And you want to disarm the rest of us. How in the world does that make sense? If all guns were banned it wouldnt be any more difficult to get a gun than it would be to get illegal drugs. Pretty damn easy. All you would be doing is making the rest of us less safe and more vulnerable to gun violence.

    luckily, the constitution precludes you from implementing this.

    All those guns were once legally owned. Now if only those people who initially purchased those new guns cared enough to care about who they passed them on to

    We can play the "if only" game all day. If only everyone at that store were armed, there would be a lot less dead people.

    All weapons are deadly. lol, In the real world, there is no peace without the ability to defend yourself. No matter how many guns you ban, there will ALWAYS be those who will have them. You actually think if guns were banned there would be no guns on the planet?

    You should brush up on your history. Hitler sold your idea to his country as well and we all saw how that turned out.

    No evidence for your claim and very little doubt that there were armed customers in that store who understandably kept quiet. But there are things that can be done in what I stated

    Tell the class the gun laws in Colorado and Boulder. Then you'll see how much compromise has already occurred.
    No one else in that store but the cop and the shooter had a gun. There is your issue.
    Now theoretically every male over the age of 18 and under the age of 45 (might be 40, would have to check) is part of the militia according to the Militia Act and the basic constitutional definition. Theoretically they should all be armed and able to stop such a heinous attack on the populace.
    What say we compromise and open carry is brought back as a basic matter of right available to all citizens?

    OMG, They supported his radical ideas until millions were shipped off to the gas chamber, murdered in the streets by his military, tortured, forced into labor camps and buried in mass graves. I guess you were under the impression Hitlers rule had a happy ending?

    I relish an opportunity to be able actually to AGREE with you about something, rahl. It is a rare occurrence, indeed!

    Additionally, though, I hope you can agree with me that this "moronic, useless" gun-ban idea hastily thrown out by the hyperliberal, Constitution-hating Left is not their ultimate goal at all!

    NO... they use the old method of "two steps forward, one step back" -- which in this case means they want to eventually deny ALL American citizens the right to defend themselves legally by making it impossible for them to possess and use firearms any longer...!

    First, they take away 'this'... then, they take away 'that'... then comes additional, monstrously-high taxes and 'fees' on anything related to guns, and, finally, they just come and confiscate all weapons from law-abiding U. S. citizens -- leaving firearms only in the hands of "criminals and crazies". And all that law-abiding citizens will be able to do is hope they don't get 'put-on-hold' when they call 911 as their front doors are being kicked-in by home invaders....

    Did Biden have anything to say about this mass shooting? If not, why? Also, while the left is losing it over people enjoying spring break, nothing was said about a packed building full of people.

    Be it shootings, riots, or large gatherings, if the folks on the left do it, then it gets ignored.

    While I'm generally against capital punishment when there is still some a potential doubt, when the case is this clear and they catch the person in the act, I'd have to agree with you here...

    Although we don't need to wait to kill some perpetrators to proceed on gun control measures...

    Chicago police believe the shooting was gang related.

    I wasn't aware Chicago gangs were left wing. Was this a "get out the vote" party?

    Gangs prosper when the communities they're in get loads of welfare handouts from the government. Think about it.

    And who hands out the most welfare? Why -- it's Left-wing radical Democrats! :omg: . OK, that concludes today's lesson....

    I've heard some conspiracies around those events and this latest one in Boulder. It's hard to conceptualize our government staging mass murders to push through legislation for gun control. It's never worked in the past so why keep going that route?

    No evidence for your claim either.

    Gangs don't care who they get their money from. And they don't vote.

    My guess is many liberals wouldn't have a problem killing otherwise law abiding gun owners to implement gun control. Of course the objects of the exercise (those that are literate) may recall this quote.

    “And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand?... The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt! If...if...We didn't love freedom enough. And even more – we had no awareness of the real situation.... We purely and simply deserved everything that happened afterward.”

    No one knows what they will do or what they are capable of doing until they do it.
