It's funny that you think China's strict gun control laws are their to protect the citizens from each other. When they really exist so the Chinese government can keep it's boot on the populations throat without fear. What better way to control your citizens than by taking away their ability to fight back? Keep thinking the Chinese government is run by the tooth fairy and the easter bunny.
I'm happy to foot my *share* of the bill, dumbass. I vote for every local politician that proposes raising taxes, because our government services suck balls in Nevada. But we don't pay shit for taxes either.
What charitable giving have you done? I'm going to guess none because you're a joyless person who wants everyone else to hate the world as much as you do.
LOL. So now it's about making sure everyone pays their SHARE? Yeah, you clearly care about the mentally ill. "I'm not gonna help, unless THAT GUY OVER THERE helps too." You're a true humanitarian Barry. My charitable contributions are irrelevant since I am not the one crying for more government services. Send the government some of your money. Nothing is stopping you. Except for the fact that you are full of shit. It's easy to vote for higher taxes when you know they won't be implemented. That way, you can say on internet forums, "I always vote for the guy who wants to raise taxes", yet you won't send any of your own money to fund what those taxes would have paid for.
Just because 20 kids got killed won't affect the Republican vote one bit, no taxes for the rich and guns for everybody.
Republicans are ready to compromise now, they're ready to vote to eliminate all health care for the poor and loosen the gun laws so that every nut job in the country can carry a concealed weapon wherever the fuck they want.

We need to keep learning the power of the gun gives us our rights.
" When we lost a service member, for whatever reason, it was a heart-wrenching experience. But it was worse in the case of those who took their own lives. Suicides have been a challenge for the U.S. military for a long time – and the problem is getting more severe. Suicides began rising in the middle of the 2000s, leveled off briefly in 2010 and 2011 and resumed climbing again this year, reaching a record high.
In fact, suicides have become an epidemic. This year, more soldiers, seamen, airmen and Marines died by their own hand than died in battle. Suicide was the No. 1 cause of death for U.S. troops. More than two-thirds of suicides involved firearms, and nearly three-quarters of those cases involved personal weapons, not military weapons."

FUCK YOUR CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT TO CARRY A FIREARM
when are the people of the good old US of A going to say enough is enough and force the government to pass proper gun legislation
your country looks like a joke to the rest of the world
Even though I'm for gun control, I sort of agree that guns don't kill people. But why do so many Americans kill people when this kind of thing is rare or nonexistent in most advanced countries (including some that have a lot of guns like Switzerland and Canada)? I don't have an answer for this question, it is meant for open-ended discussion. WTF is it about this country that drives so many people nuts? What Wiganer wrote rings true but I'd like to hear other viewpoints.

Keep the numbers in perspective Walt. We have 311,591,917 people spread over 3.8 million square miles. That's a lot a damn people and unfortunately in a free society sometimes ghastly, godawful shit is going to happen. Doesn't make me feel any better today but them's the facts.
Anybody watch that 121212 concert? how does that not have a thread. Completely escaped me. Joel doing NY State of Mind was a treat. Deal.
They also happen to have a much more stable and healthy financial system because they know how to regulate it, more abundant natural resources, a happier and healthier population, higher educational attainment, better measures on every socioeconomic indicator, better international relations, etc etc, but yeah keep thinking we live in the garden of eden.
