Saw this today and totally agree...

In retrospect Sandy Hook marked the end of the US gun control debate. Once America decided killing children was bearable, it was over.

Once we've got the number of abortions down to 250k I will talk about gun control.

[arch stanton]

Murdering school children was already against the law at that time.

look over there.

[mtangelsfan]

Look at the thread title shil.  This isn't a gun control thread.

On one hand I love to see cons on Facebook complain about "muh gunz", on the other hand I just can't side with libs on anything more than I already do.

I do not believe stricter gun laws will curb violent crimes. Just as stricter drug laws don't prevent people from using/selling drugs. If someone wants it bad enough, they will get it.

I'm confused about this thread

Is this the thread equivalent of the Purge?

New York has some of the stricter gun laws in the country and has seen their murder and crime rates drop drastically.

Of course what works for New York doesn't necessarily mean it would work in other parts of the country, but there are things at the federal level that we can do that don't entail, "taking all yur gunz."

The number of lives lost in drunk driving related accidents is unacceptable. 

[Adam]

I think obesity related deaths need to end immediately!

[Spirit]

The spirit of your opinion may be popular around here., but any ideas you have towards resolving the problem will meet with strong disapproval.

 

 

So banning all sales of fast foods and sodas is not going to be a popular idea?

Stats are suggesting that Uber may be playing a role in lowering the amount of DUI's. If Southern California had a better public transportation system that number would probably be reduced even further.

[Spirit]

You know what would really lower the amount of DUI related deaths?  Prohibition of alcohol.

You're not serious are you? It's hard to detect sarcasm on the internet sometimes.

so fat people shouldn't be allowed to buy cookies?

[mtangelsfan]

If we instituted marshall law and had 9:00pm curfews this country would be way safer.

this is the kind of comment that is going to get you a punch to the gut at the next aw event.

That would open up a can of worms. Let's prohibit bacon instead.

That would certainly help with America's obesity problem.  Maybe we should do both.  

[arch stanton]

You'll pry my bacon from my cold, dead frying pan.

Not by enough, sadly. We'd have to ban cars too.
