Fair enough, I'm not upset about it, just expected a lower number.

Sidenote: as expected, video games are already being blamed on CNN.

love the comment thread and the sentiment that the solution is more guns. more guns for everyone!!!

I was WAY off with my guns per capita statement.

http://en.wikipedia.org/w...uns_per_capita_by_country

We are 13th.

Strange, I'm sure I read somewhere that we had more.

Stop reading Fox news

Stop reading Fox news

I don't ever read fox news.

Yeah, you were on here saying that last summer too... DERP!
- SofaKingBored

And I was right.

oh please...

remove the hunters from that list

who owns more handguns? thats a more legit comparison
- Dozzer

Guns period aren't necessary.

Remove 100% of all guns. Hunters don't need guns...if they truly love hunting as much as they say they do then they'll be perfectly happy with a cross-bow.

Or make the only legal guns be able to only fire once every 10 seconds.

So who offer sheets Evander Kane?

We talking about the Batman tragedy? What a shame. Go to have fun and see your favorite super hero, to wind up getting shot at...what a sad thing. Hope all those wounded people pull through.

Did you guys here he opened fire during a shoot out scene or am I making this up?

There are a few books out there with all the stats.
I saw one at my library and gave it a read it was very interesting.(I can try to find the title if you are interested)

Personally, I'm much happier with our laws up here.

Also happy the long gun registry got scrapped that was the biggest waste of money.
- Cfser

soooo what you are saying is you cant prove it?

and you're asking me to source it myself?

yeah.. no. i call bullpoop

Totally.

Absolute stupidity.
I want to say by banning guns completely it wouldn't have happened...but the dude probably would've just walked in with an explosive and blown up the place instead...then what are we going to do? Ban chemistry?

Then don't kill it and go to the super market.

Not if you shoot him in the knee.

depends on how accurate the shot is, just like a bullet

there was no way he was going to take a pay cut. Regardless of what happened last year, he put up 30G the year before when he was making $2.5M salary. Can't possibly get him for less money than that.

Then again, when does prohibition ever work? Look back at the '20s, when all it did was create organized crime, much like the drug wars of today. If people want guns, they will get them, just like anything else.

And by the way, It's really not fair to say Americans on a whole are not intelligent. I read this early and was offended. That's not true. It is as any other place where you have your fair share of 'winners'.

muzzle loaders only.


also.. i'd be willing to bet that the men who drafted the american constitution would of changed the wording if they realized how it was going to be interpreted

there are an enormous group of people who shoot guns for sport, but don't hunt and have no desire to hunt.

Who said that? That's a pretty ignorant thing to say.

It wasn't dirty enough to have come from there
- Cfser

the first stat stank pretty bad, so maybe that one cleaned it off...

On the guns thing: The problem for America is that it's too late. You can't ban guns now, that doesn't stop all the guns already out there from working. Unless they somehow recover a massive percentage of the guns out there it's a horrible idea because the people who will hold on to them will be either a) criminals or b) nut cases. I agree that guns are needless, especially hand guns, but it's a "they made their bed and now they have to lay in it" scenario.

On Kulemin: I'm glad he re-signed, hopefully he bounces back from a bad year. If not then it's still not a terrible contract, not a great one but not terrible.

- Big_Lightnin

Then they get a free xbox and CoD MW3 for every gun they hand in

@DarrenDreger: To be specific. Kulemin will get $2.6 is 1st year and $3 mil in 2nd for $2.8 aav with Leafs.
- Big_Lightnin

That's a fantastic deal for both sides. Kulemin's defensive game and grit make that a deal in itself, let alone the potential to become a 30g guy again.

What an absolute tragedy the shooting news is and it sickens me that someone would go through with that. Dark days.
