That I can agree with. There should be more training required and stringent background checks.
Sorry if I mistook your point. You just seem to come off indifferent and so unwilling to budge an inch on guns laws even if it meant making the US safer place to live for everyone, in hindsight anyway. Just a sad reality that nothing can really be done to prevent crazy people from plotting crap.
Do I know ways in which to improve requirements? No not really, except more should be done than just a criminal BG check seeing that criminals aren't the only ones killing people.
Why bring up Nazis? America was at the forefront of eugenics long before Germany.
Why? Rational please? Is it big brothers job to violate and continue to violate our second amendment rights? This was a good thing whether you own guns or not.
I just saw Obama wiping his dry eyes trying to look like he was crying (phony as most things with Obama). People barely know the killers name and already Obama is talking about the need to address these situations regardless of the "politics involved". So the kids are dead just a few hours and Obama is already using them as political props. The guy is soulless.
The report just says they were legally purchased - it doesn't mention by whom. I would guess that they belong to a family or friend.
Not arguing for stricter gun control laws, but teachers go crazy too.

I assume you mean rationale.
It is that as a culture we agreed that some guns are more dangerous. Regardless of how misguided or correct that notion is, we agreed as a society that some things are just a bad idea and should be outlawed. Letting it fade out was a sign that culturally we had shifted to a permissive attitude towards this type of weaponry.
Regardless of how toothless the ban was, it was a symbol that there are boundaries.
Now, can I get your rationale as to your little rant about big brother and the second amendment? And how it was a good thing?
Only took a couple planes to kill a few thousand on 9/11. Should we ban air travel? It took a van and some fertilizer to blow up the federal building in Oklahoma City; should we ban those too?
People who are determined to harm large groups of people at a time are going to find a way to do it. That's not a valid reason to trade away the freedoms of millions of law-abiding people who never use their weapons for harming others.

Gee thanks for your spelling correction and sarcasm.... So sorry I missed a letter while typing. Maybe that should be outlawed as well.
"We" is a pretty broad generalization of society or our culture as a whole. Your statement does not mean that everyone agrees with you and that firearms or the associated equipment with these arms should be outlawed.
My rationale (or my little rant) is simple: The more the government takes away or controls in terms of our basic American rights as outlined in the Constitution the more "we" should be concerned. The more people accept this practice as the norm the more rights "we" lose as Americans. If you're OK with that good for you....I'm not.
It's not my rationale; I didn't author it: A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.
grow the fuck up
Im not a fan of Obama but he was not faking his emotions.
You're missing the point. They can all be used as weapons if someone so wished and they do kill more intentionally or not. What else should we ban?
The government is us. Try to keep that in mind at all times.
I agree that guns should only be in the hands of trained professionals ideally - so maybe teachers need to be trained to be able to react during events like this.
no you are missing the point. cars are not made as a weapon with the sole purpose of killing either man or animal. Guns are.
is this concept to hard for you to understand?
Following the basic premise of the Constitution is always a "good thing".
no you are missing the point. cars are not made as a weapon with the sole purpose of killing either man or animal. Guns are.

no no....you are missing the point. Until skynet becomes aware it's a human behind each and controlling each mechanism.
Is this a concept to hard for you to understand?
Hmm, good point and well said.
a car is not a weapon until it is used as such. A gun is a weapon at all times! Fuck me are you stupid?
The government is us. Try to keep that in mind at all times.
until you have a madman shooting up malls, schools, theaters and killing dozens and maiming hundreds... yea you are right, its always a good thing.
