If someone is sick enough to want to kill school children, they will find a way......guns, knives, bombs, pitchforks, poison.

yep, except they dont. they use guns.

Stabbed to death is way more brutal and painful, I would think.

The irony here is that the more belligerent the pro gun movement gets - and they have been increasingly belligerent for decades now - the more empowered the "gun grabbers" become.

Riddle me this... what "well regulated militia" did this or any other recent mass shooter belong to?

It's a fair question.

yep probably is. stabbed to death doesn't happen anywhere near the frequency of gun violence in the USA. but dead is dead was grits lame point so the brutal and painful aspect of getting dead isnt really important

Well, it would have to be one that welcomed transgenders.

Oh man... Bill... brother... what's with the selective outrage? Do you not see how nakedly transparent you are on this? Where were you with the last 20 major mass shootings?? I almost can't believe that you would have the gall.


The last 20 mass shootings were not brought up here.....just this one.

Fair enough?

What ? Mass shootings are regularly brought up here. What are you talking about ?
You and I have had this same discussion many times.
Are you really saying that the subject of guns and mass shootings is being discussed here for the first time ?

They are usually not discussed upstairs.

The political forum is downstairs.......where this thread belongs.

It depends who starts the thread whether or not topics like this are allowed to stand in this forum. Dave is right, the topic has been discussed numerous times here.

Grits wants his dumb opinions to go unchallenged, he's the only one getting bitchy about this stuff.

Yours was the very first comment in the thread and was blatantly political. It’s what sparked the rest of the discussion. If you don’t like political discussions upstairs, don’t make political comments in them, would be my suggestion.
