Stay classy gun control nuts.
This kind of sentiment is the kind of the thing that could easily go in the things that are f'd up about the US thread. In any other (supposedly) civilized country in the world a tragedy like this might actually lead people to reexamine their bizarre gun laws - or lack thereof. My issue wasn't with the debate, it was the location of the debate. Start a new freaking thread to debate the gun laws if you must, I just think this is the wrong forum (in the traditional sense) for it. I took sh**t for challenging the claim that Rodney King was a "hero" in his "RIP" thread. I consider what y'all are doing to be substantially worse.
So what should we discuss in this thread? Just say RIP and leave? This is not like a thread on Rodney King or a politician. Nobody here is sh**tting on the victims or the dead like it would be case with you trashing Rodney King in his death thread or others talking trashing Jesse Helms in his death thread.
I know you guys don't like to hear it but the reason why a guy is able to get an AR-15 and go on a shootout is because of lax gun laws. It's possible someone would be able to get an AR-15 from the black market and do this but it's about a 100 times harder, especially for someone like him who would not be in contact with the black market. If he was doing this with a less powerful gun, it's possible that less people would be grieving for their loved ones tonight.
