Re: guns versus mentality
I happen to own quite a few guns, yet I have not used them in a violent manner.
I am always armed, yet I have never hard to use a gun in a violent manner. Then you don't need to be armed.
The above ontological example models the zero premise to BB theory. It does so by applying the relative uniformity assumption that the alleged zero event eventually ontologically progressed from the compressed alleged sub-microscopic chaos to bloom/expand into all of the present observable order, more than it models the Biblical record evidence for the existence of Jehovah, the maximal Biblical god designer.

The fact that it happened in Connecticut indicates, to me, that this is an incredibly rare event that's going to happen in some statistically-uneliminateable small number of cases, regardless of our legal gun control regime. This is what I don't understand. If guns were unavailable at the kid's house (my understanding is that the gun was own by the parent) the killings would not have occurred. How is that hard to grasp? (Not saying it is hard for you to grasp, in a rhetorical way).

You say that if guns were illegal he might not have had access to them. Isn't that a good thing? Isn't it better for it to might not happen than definitely happen? Surely any chance of children not being killed is worth attempting. If fewer people have guns the chance of shootings will drop. I really don't get why civilians want to own guns.

Re: Guns are worse than cars
Interesting stats. How long do people take to pass a driving test against obtaining a fire arm, I wonder.

Re: More armed people is the solution; and Israel
Sigh. Many of these shooters end up popping themselves so the threat of being killed is not a deterrent. You are reasoning like someone not resigned to being killed or killing themselves and so you get it wrong. Put yourself in the shoes of a deranged killer iintent on going out in a blaze of glory and you will see what I mean. Edited by Larni, : Spellink

Re: More armed people is the solution; and Israel
They are not afraid of being shot. They know that they have maybe 10 minutes after they have killed the first few people (high priority targets like guards or teachers). They are not afraid. If they were they would not do it. How does that to make sense?

Re: Statistical Blindness
Personally, it seems to me that it's the psychological effect of normalising gun ownership and the repeated headlining of massacres does more damage than the guns themselves I agree. By far the best way to get people to act in a specific way is use social pressure. If you want people to not take drugs (for example) show young people other young people not taking drugs. American's seem inculcated into the norm of owning or carrying guns. Over here in the UK if I knew someone was carrying a gun I would inform the police. But not because it was against the law but because carrying a gun is aberrant behaviour (in the UK). You would have to be mentally disturbed to carry one on the street. It's not socially acceptable here. In the States the reverse seems to be true. It's actually socially encouraged. That's madness.

Funnily enough I was talking to my wife about UK level of CCTV and I quite suprised myself when I realised that I feel less safe when I notice there are no cameras about.

Then you agree that your emotional response (like mine) has no bearing on the reality of the situation. That is to say, wrong.

Re: Reasons for Shooting :/
I get that since a gun makes it really convenient, that some people are going to be persuaded by that convenience, but I don't care to stop people who don't want to live anymore. You should have a right to die if you want to. The problem with this is that many suiciders do so when suffering from Depression or some other mental disorder (that can be treated) so that they can see that a bullet in the brain is not the only way out.

Re: your statistics are bogus in every possible way
And the preaching by the Black Robe regiment was considered by the Brits to be THE reason we won the war against them. Normally we just assume it was the French who won you that one. Boy, us Brits hate the French for losing us one of our Colonies

Re: 9 dead in SC
then do you have a greater trust of government than you do free citizens? This I really don't get about Americans: what exactly are you worried your government is going to do? Internment camps for not being employed by the government? Serilization for anyone for not being employed by the government? I just don't get it. What has or is the government going to do if you don't own a pistol?

Re: 9 dead in SC
but those guns did nothing to prevent the occupation of the Country by the Germans You are forgetting that gun nuts are all steely-eyed, crack shots with nerves of steel and the reflexes of a cat. More than a match for a compaany of battle tested professional soldiers with armour and air support.
