    So messed up. I have shot there a number of times, its like 10mins away. Its fucking creepy feeling when you see someone die in a place you have stood before. So much for buying ammo at Shoot Straight, have a feeling they won't be there for much longer.

    From what I have been reading the majority of guns that have been purchased since the election have been purchased by existing gun owners. I personally have only bought one extra gun over what I had already been planning for and it is a kid size single shot .22 in pink for my daughter. Saw it at the store and wife made me get it.

    As for this case, like said before, shit happens. My cousin was out hiking 3 weeks ago and slipped and fell off a cliff. Her face is now deformed, she has no ability to remember anything, and will probably spend the rest of her life in a hospital bed. Guess I should rally for a ban on hiking.
    you bought your kid a fucking gun? and you're wife made you do it? whats wrong with you people seriously....remember that kid who shot his dad at a wedding? or the kid who shot his dad for not letting him play Halo? well, that could be you soon.

    ban hiking? ban food too, while you're at it...

    Arn't most murders spur of the moment things? IE:
    HAY LOOK I HAS GUN AND AM MAD AT WORLD! RAWR!
    I'm fairly certain you can point to any civilized country where gun laws are established that have significantly lower gun crime rates than America. Don't get me wrong, gun crimes will still happen, but you will have to be truly dedicated to your cause to manage to get a gun and do some shit compared to now.

    Some statistics since you're a douche who cant/wont google.

    Japan: Guns = illegal as fuck
    Murders 637
    Murders (per capita) 0.00499933 per 1,000 people
    Murders committed by youths 127
    Murders committed by youths per capita 0.4
    Murders with firearms 47
    USA: Guns in vending machines.
    Murders 16,204
    Murders (per capita) 0.042802 per 1,000 people
    Murders committed by youths 8,226
    Murders committed by youths per capita 11
    Murders with firearms 9,369
    Murders with firearms (per capita) 0.0279271 per 1,000
    Population of the countries to give perspective:
    Japan:
    Population: 127,288,416 (July 2008 est.)


    USA:
    Population: 303,824,640 (July 2008 est.)


    So about half. Double the numbers of Japan just to show you how wrong you are.

    Murders 1274
    Murders committed by youths 254
    Murders committed by youths per capita 0.8
    Murders with firearms 94
    Shut the hell up?

    I seriously don't understand why people are bringing up the economy and shit.

    Whatever happened to crazy? What, you can't be crazy no more? Did we eliminate crazy from the dictionary? Fuck the economy, cra-zy!

    well, crazy is a possibility.

    but here at BG, people like to go the so-called intellect way and give the motive a bit of a twist.

    I've posted it on here before, and I don't want to dig it up

    Homicides are a very small portion of crime. The idea is banning guns will decrease gun crimes. The UK says this is not true

    Most murders are "spur of the moment" kind of thing. Remove one of the most efficient and effortless killing tool, and you will lower murder rate considerably. Anger doesn't last forever, and anything that can delay the act will reduce its chance of happening


    And wtf at the hiking argument? That's one fucking retarded analogy.

    Robberies are higher per capita than the USA but there is nothing to show that all of those had guns involved or were in any way muggings or break ins. And obviously murder is what counts in situations like this.

    You can't point to one country, Japan, and make any point.

    Crime and murder is a poverty and cultural issue.

    What is the chance for a middle class white person to get shot in America? Next to none.
