[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Who filibustering to protect us from criminals? Criminals will not surrender their guns. If they don't have one yet need one, they'll get one. That's wha criminals do. They don't obey law. [/quote]
How many 'criminals" have shot up schools and workplaces?  Most of these guys bought guns legally, and even passed a background check.  These guys weren't criminals until they started shooting at people.

I have kids. I don't worry about "criminals" shooting the school.  I do worry about the crazies who can buy guns easily because they don't have a criminal record yet shooting the schools.

How many "criminals" have  you shot at, or how many times have you had to use a gun to protect yourself from a criminal?  Yes, I know it happens.  But you know what seems to happens more frequently? Kids dying from an accidental shooting either from their own hands or other kids' hands.  You know how many school shootings there were?  Probably more than the number of times you might've had to use that gun to protect yourself.[/quote]

This emotional tirade, based upon the author's unnatural fear of guns, is completely devoid of facts. [/quote]

Every shooter that shot up a school or bar was a criminal! They intended to commit a crime, set a plan, and executed a plan. They put a lot of time and effort into their plans - Columbine and San Hook illegally procured guns by theft. Orlando did so legally buT he would have found a way to murder all those people with or without legally getting guns. You don't spend all that time and effort planning something only to give up because you can't buy a gun. He could have made PVC pipe bombs just as easy (Columbine duo made almost a 100) or done something else. He planned on breaking the law by illegally carrying a handgun without a license, he illegally carried weapons into an establishment that sold alcohol, he illegally carried gun into an establishment with a no-carry sign, he illegally fired a weapon in a public establishment, he illegally shot over 100 individuals, and he illegally murdered 49 others. But I'm sure he NEVER would have illegally found a means to procure a weapon if he couldn't have legally bought one. How silly of me.

We can't even enforce current law and you think new ones will solve everything. Why not question why the FBI wasn't informed of his intent to purchase when the first gun shop turned him away and report suspicious behavior? Or when Disney reported his suspicious behavior? The FBI had him! What stopped them? Fix those laws. Enforce current laws. [/quote]
?  Every shooter was not a criminal until they shot up a school.  And many of the shooters got the guns legally.

As I stated before, there are crazy people everywhere, and no, you can't stop every crazy person, but we should make it harder, not easier for them to kill so many people in the span of a few minutes, and I'm not just talking about the shooting in Orlando.[/quote]
