“I didn't want to wake up. I was having a much better time asleep. And that's really sad. It was almost like a reverse nightmare, like when you wake up from a nightmare you're so relieved. I woke up into a nightmare.”

No. If I have to die, I die.

I'll most likely try to disarm or eliminate the mofo anyway.
Not the biggest chance, but hey I'll take it.

Oh yeah, since somebody does not believe what YOU believe; that makes us vapid...
I cannot grasp that what you call "Something happened to nothing, and that nothing became something, and it was smaller than than a period."

Well considering my school district is requiring us to go until school ends on the 21st, I shall have a miniscule unsettling feeling until then.

No. Because if something is going to happen, it is going to happen whether I'm scared/fearful or not. And why bother being scared/fearful, seeing as that won't help the situation, if it ever did arise.

Not in the least, these are very rare occurences.

  • 12.19.2012 7:09 AM PDT

afraid? no.

Don't let fear get to you. Or it will find you.

They should just make an HLG playlist then you guys can hide against each other and see how much fun it is.

No, because in my country we don't have crazy bastards who can buy a gun at walmart. :-)

No not really, that'd be like not driving because of being fearful of an accident. It's all chance. But I don't like how everyone is saying gun control needs to be stricter, if we were to outlaw them, only outlaws would have them at that point. We'd on be doing a disservice to ourselves. IMO.

I don't always ban people but when I do I laugh uncontrollably...that's if I was a Forum Ninja.

Truth is a matter of perception.

The Button

Whenever I go to the mall I usually take a pistol with me, there have been a lot of armed robberies there lately. I'm a little worried when I go see The Hobbit.

absolutely not

let me point out some numbers...
According to CDC and FBI, every year 443,000 Americans died from smoking, 49,400 died from second hand smoking, 75,000 died from drinking, 12,000 from DUI
while only 300 people died from "assault weapons( basically rifles)"


http://www.fbi.gov/about-us/cjis/ucr...e-data-table-8
http://www.cdc.gov/tobacco/data_stat...ted_mortality/
http://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/preview/mmwrhtml/mm5337a2.htm

People, especially Europeans, love saying "nuts get guns at Walmart in your country" referring to AR15's. Getting gun downed by an AR15 is the last thing I worry about.


I don't hear one call to ban cigarettes, alcohol or cars. Unfortunately this country runs off sensationalism and not statistics and reason.

Worst argument ever. So if there are more deaths from other causes you won't acknowledge the danger coming from such loose gun laws?

lol this just blew my mind. Cars's primary purpose is not to harm or kill. Cigarettes and alcohol are taken by the user spontaneously. It's not like someone can make you smoke to death. Duh

Of course I am. You're going to argue against the 2nd Amendment and infringe upon innocent people's rights just because a few nuts shot some people this year?

I don't think you'd be so condescending about this if you were one of the victims or a victim's relative. Just look at how many school shootings you had.
Do you really love guns that much to put that many lives in danger? Is it really your only thought in life? Because I don't see how your whim to bear arms is worth even one human life.

Studies show that men think about sex every 7 seconds. I do my best to eat hotdogs in under 6, just so things don't get weird.

Please allow me to introduce Myself
I'm a man of wealth and taste
I've been around for a long, long year
Stole many a man's soul and faith

Guys, you are arguing the gun argument again. I asked very nicely in theOP to not do that. So far we've managed to do this without getting into that tired and pointless debate. Please leave it at this and stop.

  • 12.19.2012 7:57 AM PDT

Quick as a razor, sharp as a bullet.

Here in the UK, we have rational gun control, so no.

Well then you truly don't understand, and it's fine. Living in a semi-free society always has repercussions. Also that many? I just showed you the statistics. Do you really love alcohol that much that we don't make it illegal? I'd rather live free with consequences than move to a police state. It's not about guns.
This country runs on sensationalism. 9/11 - we start two wars and patriot act. Look what that got us. I'm not saying lets not have a discussion. The gun show loophole obviously needs to be closed. But punishing innocent people is not what we were based on.
