When will assualt weapons advocates ever learn ? My God, 20 children dead !

No words can describe or justify your stance  on this matter. So don't even freaking bother, unless you change your position on this matter.

Oh, and thank God it wasn't one of your family.

Speaking of despicable, someone even suggest the gov. was behind this tragedy to promote an anti-gun agenda.

Rick -- respectfully -- aren't you advancing your own political agenda in this tragic moment by calling a ban on assault weapons "evil" even as you call another despicable for taking the other side? Please don't say don juan did it first. The very fact that you have to use the phrase "Let the bodies of those poor children be taken away from the scene" is a red flag that something is terribly sick in our national body. I don't know pretend to know the remedy. I don't believe that heavy-handed gun control is the answer. But something is out of control and calling another poster despicable for raising the gun control issue because of this situation is not part of the solution, either. In fact, your reaction was as expected as Don Juan's. You and he represent the typical back and forth that we have become sadly accustomed to after these repeated tragedies. We need the conversation to get beyond this point.

Do you know what Rickie ?.... there are now words to describe your reaction to my post, and how I feel about this tradegy. Except to say,,Do not ever reply to any of my posts.. I will never open anything you post. Because you are not worth a pile of dung. And for you to say....

Let the bodies of those poor children be taken away from the scene before you attempt to besmirch their memory by promoting your ideology.

That is like saying.. let all those poor children in those German concentration camps who were lead to the gas chamber be taken away, before we besmirch their memory. And then discuss whether we let the Germans keep killing them.

You are a freaking %$%^&*

GOODBYE AND GOOD RIDDANCE

OUT

Everytime one of these sad events happens..esp.if it takes the life of young children ..we hear many progressive liberals calling for a ban on the weapon used ... but at the same time they are not against suction vacuums the weapon used in aborting 1.2 million unborn children every year in America..

Well, as far as the answer, we won't ever have a totally effective one because these events always seem to have serious mental, emotional and/or psychological disturbances at their core, but that's no reason not to ban weapons that make it easy to quickly kill numerous folks at close range. And no, a ban won't deter everyone from getting their hands on 1 or creating a makeshift job, but if it only minimizes it & the # of lives lost to a degree, it's more than worth it.

The arguments about 'em being needed if the govt comes for 'em is total BS & where the real & false political ideaology comes into play imo.

There you go again. Conflating arguements and reducing everything to silliness.  That's like saying Slim would be okay with abortions if a gun were used instead of a vaccuum.
