    outlaw murder. Punish the one that did it.

    If you’re a reasonable person and can think it through, you can come to no conclusion other than that more guns is the answer, not less.

    Stop helping the leftists give the fascist bureaucrats a monopoly on force.

    History is watching. Don’t let them do it again. IT ALWAYS ENDS IN GENOCIDE.

    Yeah, dig up Lanza’s body, flog it, then lock it away for 40 years. THAT’LL teach him.

    .
    A lot of reasonable people have thought it through and have come to the conclusion that your suggestion is about as idiotic as its possible to get.

    “An armed society is a polite society.”
    Robert A. Heinlein, one of my favorite authors.

    Put 8 people who hate each other in a room. Now add 8 guns, and ammunition.

    I think they’d last longer before you added the weapons!

    A popular quote by the gun lobby that may or may not have had relevance in the 1940s, but going by the wave of shootings lately, you would now have to conclude that an armed society is a violent society.

    Maybe if more Americans went back to again caring about people, people would get health care, mental health care, jobs from American corporations that have shipped all the jobs overseas, and politicians and justices who realize that corporations are NOT “people”.

    Do you think I give up my seat on the bus or train to a pregnant woman because I think if I don’t, she might shoot me?

    Penn and Teller did a Showtime episode on their series called BULL$HIT that concluded that violent video games do not incite further violence in the players. That seems counter-intuitive but I’m willing to accept it as fact – they could not find hard evidence one way or the other. Yes I realize they are entertainers not journalists but assuming that is true do you think violence in movies and TV cause people to be numb to real violence? I would like to hear the thoughts of others.

    Harvard Injury Control Research Center
    Homicide
    1. Where there are more guns there is more homicide
    2. Across high-income nations, more guns = more homicide.

    3. Across states, more guns = more homicide
