swede316 Posted June 8, 2008 Share Posted June 8, 2008 We don't need background checks for gun buyers One of two things happened here...Since he was a felon.... 1. The background check wasn't performed 2. Most likely ..Him being a felon...he obtained the guns illegally. And he should be a candidate for America's Dumbest Criminals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steely Dan Posted June 8, 2008 Share Posted June 8, 2008 Police said the photos aren't enough to charge Allen with child endangerment, but they said the girl is safe and Allen, who has a long criminal history, is charged with being a felon in possession of a weapon. "He indicated he thought it looked funny. He thought it looked cool," said Randy Holliday, Brevard county Sheriff's Office. Police said they are not identifying the girl in the pictures or her relationship to Allen. Hey at least if she shot him it would've been a deserving Darwin Award.

SD Jarhead Posted June 8, 2008 Share Posted June 8, 2008 One of two things happened here...Since he was a felon.... 1. The background check wasn't performed 2. Most likely ..Him being a felon...he obtained the guns illegally. And he should be a candidate for America's Dumbest Criminals Which of these scenarios do you think is more likely?

Steely Dan Posted June 8, 2008 Share Posted June 8, 2008 Which of these scenarios do you think is more likely? He obtained the guns illegally. It's very easy to do in this country. Why do you think that is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SD Jarhead Posted June 8, 2008 Share Posted June 8, 2008 Maybe because criminals steal things? Why do criminals have guns in countries where they're outlawed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blzrul Posted June 8, 2008 Share Posted June 8, 2008 While I would prefer that felony checks were run and brief (no more than 7-day) cooling-off periods were enforced, background checks aren't the only answer. Last week some guy with a clean record - except for his severe schizophrenia - opened up with his legally-carried pistol at a festival at Seattle Center. Fortunately no-one was seriously hurt.

Nanker Posted June 8, 2008 Share Posted June 8, 2008 Why aren't guns as big an issue in Canada, Britain and many other countries? Because it's KNIVES stupid. Knives are the root of all evil. If only we could outlaw knives. The world would be such a better place. Stay tuned - the fork is next, then maybe chopsticks. Eventually rocks, paper, scissors and Hell, maybe even mud will be banned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alaska Darin Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 Why aren't guns as big an issue in Canada, Britain and many other countries? Because you're an idiot. Jesus, nothing like comparing apples to water buffalos. Come back when you have something beyond the standard media-driven stupidity. How has outlawing drugs worked out, liberal guy? Been able to keep drugs outta the hands of anyone who wants them? Enjoy the cottage industry that cost taxpayers billions each year keeping people in jail while the very same things continue on and the associated crime escalates? Now outlaw guns and figure out how well that's going to work in the very same society. !@#$ing Canada and England. Are you kidding me? Why not Rwanda, the Congo, Burundi, Lagos, etc? Because they don't fit your convenient "intellectualness"? Why is it that you didn't use Switzerland, where virtually every household is REQUIRED to have an automatic weapon? Because that doesn't fit the continued demonizing of inanimate objects? I can't wait to see another one of your "run off at the suck" posts with a buncha stupid links. As if making them really long makes the points actually stick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

finknottle Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 How has outlawing drugs worked out, liberal guy? How is outlawing murder working out for you? Or speeding?

Is it complete success or nothing? You know, for people whose party pretends to be intellectuals you people come up with some of the dumbest comparisions. These are such vain attempts they almost don't deserve a response. Almost. Let's not use the term murder. Let's use the term "killing". Is killing someone in America completely illegal? The answer is no. Go ahead and try to debate that. Speeding? Are you really comparing a behavior to a tradeble commodity that will never be eradicated from society, ensuring that criminals will always have them? You actually believe that's a lucid argument? It has nothing to do with "laws people can get around" (unbelievably dumb). It has to do with the individual's right to protect themselves. It's fundamental. So fundamental that the Forefathers of the Country made it one of the original Amendments to the Bill of Rights (and I don't care what the goddamn hippes say) - the Second one - because it's that damn important. I believe in reasonable restrictions - which would be few. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
