Read the argument. I said SUVs not cars.
SUVs are dangerous (and unlike hi-cap mags and assault weapons, there are legit studies showing this), wasteful, and no one actually "needs" them. That's the same argument I'm hearing for banning assault weapons and "high capacity" magazines.

Now that we know who the killer is that sort of makes sense. He wasn't old enough to purchase a handgun.
Its an acceptable term for a 30 shot clip which is about the size of a banana if not always the shape of one.
In case you hadn't realized it this is a free country. Assimilate that.
Yes it is widely accepted use of the word clip to refer to a magazine.
Yes, it is. But so many of these gun-loving crazies are unassimilated into modern American culture. These are the same types who try to suppress voting and other heinous activities when they have power. Now that they're losing power, why not turn the tables on them? Restrict their rights in regards to guns. Put them under the same profiling that they demanded of others. Police officers should be stopping every white male on the streets and search them for guns. The FBI should be infiltrating activities popular with white males, like wrestling and monster truck events.
You mean white males that don't agree with you politically, right? The other ones are good to go in your book eh?
It isn't wildly accepted. The simple fact is that we just have that many ignorant people in the US who don't know what they are talking about. I excuse them because they are simply ignorant. The willfully ignorant, such as yourself, I see no excuse for.
Much like the car example, this is another totally vacuous false equivalency. A steak, cooking or pocketknife is in no way analogous to a gun. A dedicated fighting knife, like this, arguably is (I have actually owned one and sold it because it was so useless for anything I'd actually do, though you could use it for some camping purposes), but just about every other kind of knife has numerous uses totally unrelated to injuring or killing people.
Why would you say that he is willfully ignorant? I confess that I don't know a lot about guns but I would have thought the words clip and magazine as synonymous. Also, why should you have to "excuse" anyone for not knowing this?
From what I understand, his mom purchased ALL of the weapons. Now who she purchased them for is anyone's guess. I have seen many parents purchase guns, even handguns, for their kids, even as young as 12 years old.
Wow! Do you have a link?

Names and ages of the victims....may they rest in peace!
Obviously should ban pick up trucks too.
They are higher off the ground and result more in deaths than car wrecks Vs people.
Should also ban pens.
When a word is misspelled it is harder to correct the mistake than with a pencil.
Names and ages of the victims....may they rest in peace!
I have not felt this bad since September 11th, 2001. I could not even imagine how those families feel and hope to God that I never will. I hope that nobody ever has to go though that again.....
A gun is an efficient tool for killing, a pickup is a tool for driving. The more false equivalencies you guys make the dumber you appear. Not suggesting banning guns is a solution, but until we can agree on what a gun is the point of discussion is lost.
Are you saying media idolization of these shooters produces more shootings?Tragically, crazy people with guns make the news every month now. There will be copy cats.
Are you saying media idolization of these shooters produces more shootings?
Maybe we should ban CNN and Fox and ABC and CBS etc
Knives, arrows, swords, axes etc all kinds of "efficient tools for killing" so what is your point?

God, that list is heartbreaking. I almost feel like they should just raze the school - how could anyone send their small children back there anytime in the foreseeable future? I have no doubt it is a lovely school with an excellent staff, but I can't imagine any kids being effectively educated there anytime soon.
