Let's just barter for everything.

i'm pretty sure a bunch of civilians with guns on a fucking AIRPLANE isn't the greatest idea.

even after Sandy Hook, i'd feel safer with my kid in a school where their teachers aren't armed than at a school where they were.

I agree.. Specially my kid.. She'll probably be a little shit.

If there were guns on planes, 9/11 would have never happened

and Lanza wouldn't have had an assault rifle to more efficiently mow down a bunch of children if it wasn't legal for his mother to own one.

but that's the world we live in under the right's interpretation of the 2nd amendment.

he could've used a car or explosives, don't blame it on the assault weapons. Also, hand guns are probably more effective at short range like that

maybe not, but in the long run giving civilians the right to carry a gun around everywhere with them and giving them the idea that it's ok to shoot anyone who they feel is a threat to them is a horrible fucking idea. just look at florida, dudes are shooting kids for playing loud music or just being an asshole because they think they can twist the Stand Your Ground bullshit to justify it.

the right is always using "slippery slope" logic, well there's a real fucking slope.

If you had an army of Mark Wahlbergs on planes 9/11 wouldn't have happened. Allowing guns would have only let the terrorists have their own guns.

I think it's a good thing. People would have to be more responsible for the way they act.

yeah i highly doubt driving a car into a wall of the school would have killed as many kids as what he actually did.

this whole idea of "don't blame the guns" is such bullshit. yes, we all know the real responsible party is the person who pulled the trigger and actually thought to commit the crime. but don't act like guns and the relative ease of access to them doesn't make it a whole hell of a lot easier for loonies to commit these crimes.

look at china on the same day of Sandy Hook. guy wanted to take out a bunch of kids at a school but all he had was a knife. stabbed a lot of rugrats but no deaths.

there's a reason people aren't just voluntarily choosing to go on mass stabbing sprees and hit and run sprees instead of using a gun, it's because guns are the most effective.

Wrong.. Stupid people are stupid no matter what.. And kids are kids, even at 18, and you think a hot head 18 year old with a gun is ok?
