    Guns in a sick society is like how Disney World would be to a pedophile... nothing but opportunity!

            Steven is right....this could be a hot one but I will refrain from spewing my views on our rights as citizens.

            Had one of those people been armed it may not have happened.

            Some have no way out in this bad economy and are in bad shape. But when you kill your kids then it makes me even sicker.

            There is no answer to this. Damned if you do and Damned if you don't.

              Please allow me to remind you that over the past month 7 of those killed were police officers, 4 in Oakland, 3 in Pittsburgh. I am fairly certain that they were armed.

              If trained police officers accustomed to violent conflict were gunned down, I wonder how an untrained civilian would fare.

                Well a couple of those issues were the cops walked in to it and got shot at point blank. These people had a history.

                I like remote ideas....send up the little remote unit and see what is there first.

                You will be considered armed and dangerous until proven otherwise. Kinda like you are considered guilty now until you prove you are not... Sit in jail until you can prove you are innocent. Which is wrong!!

                There are a hundred ways to kill someone so do not think banning guns will stop it.

                What then swords? Bow and arrow and on and on, pellet guns? Where does it end.

                I hate it too. Makes the rest of us that are good with our guns and obey the law look bad.

                    How many of the weapons used were legal?

                    1) Owner had proper permit.
                    2) Owner obtained legally.
                    3) Owner was in possession.
                    4) Owner was not chemically or otherwise impaired.
                    5) Owner was lawfully carrying at time of shooting.

                    An ambush is planned murder. You can use all kinds of weapons - if you're set on killing people, you'll find a way.

                    Very sad, I feel for the officers, and the would-be citizens. And their families. And the families of the perps.

                      One of the key elements you forget is that police are now "hesitating" before drawing their weapons. Why?

                      "Will I get sued by the ACLU if I draw my gun?"
                      "With the radical feminist police chief of Oakland suspend me for not being tolerant of the suspect's diversity?"
                      "Will I be terminated for being a racist, homophobe, bigot?"

                      Yes, they may have been armed, but their training on the range may have been neglected during their "Diversity Training".

                            Its not the guns, its the lax judges out there and over crowded prisions.

                            Its time for a "Escape from New York" style jail system.


                            There must be some island we can just dump murderers, rapist and child molesters.

                              I will bring up a different issue, how well trained are the police today in dealing with the violent and mental problems within our society. A bash on the head with a batton to a thief and a kick up the ass to stupid kids worked before. Cops used to walk the beat and were seen as pillars of our society and had an understanding of their community problems....not now. We are to blame as we have taken away the power of teachers to discipline and as we have failed as parents to carry out our duty to our children.
                              Also a citizen carrying a gun only increases the potential problems.
