Big Guy Posted October 1, 2015 Report Posted October 1, 2015 (edited) Initial Breaking News from CNN - 10 dead and 20 injured in a mass shooting at a college in Oregon. http://ktla.com/2015/10/01/active-shooter-reported-at-oregon-college/ The sad part is that it is really not news any more. The location may change and the carnage may vary but this is the land of freedom and guns and this is just another predictable mass murder. So be it.

Moonlight Graham Posted October 1, 2015 Report Posted October 1, 2015 (edited) If you own a non-hunting firearm and you aren't under direct threat by another person/animal you're a bloody idiot if you own a gun. Sorry. From the cold, dead hands of my sons and daughters!

Spiderfish Posted October 1, 2015 Report Posted October 1, 2015 If you own a non-hunting firearm and you aren't under direct threat by another person you're a bloody idiot if you own a gun. Sorry. Do you include target shooters in your cataegorization? I know of a few Dominion of Canada Rifle Association members who have been involved and have practiced their sport for decades, several of whom have competed at Bisley who would strongly disagree with your assessment (as do I).

waldo Posted October 1, 2015 Report Posted October 1, 2015 (edited) The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of college or high school students. there have been (at least) 142 school shootings since 20 elementary school students and six adults were killed at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn. on Dec. 14, 2012.

WestCoastRunner Posted October 1, 2015 Report Posted October 1, 2015 Seriously? We are actually asking what gun laws were broken when we have 13 students gunned down. Kinda like asking the same question when those kindergarten children were gunned down. The question is not 'what gun laws were broken'. The question is ' what gun laws need to be rewritten' Quote I love to see a young girl go out and grab the world by the lapels. Life's a bitch. You've got to go out and kick ass. - Maya Angelou
bush_cheney2004 Posted October 1, 2015 Report Posted October 1, 2015 Gun laws don't matter to criminals and the mentally ill. U.S. averages 87 gun homicides per day. Re-write that. Quote Economics trumps Virtue.

Please see the 18th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution (Prohibition), and the 21st Amendment, which repealed the "catastrophic" 18th. Quote Economics trumps Virtue.
