I've got my kid's new school pictures right in front of me on the wall. Little girl is 10, the boy is 7. They're smiling for the camera. Their whole life in front of them, now getting excited as poop for Christmas. Thursday 20 kids my son's age were doing the same thing and now they aren't. 20 kids. 27 families that are destroyed. Countless other children that will never be the same. It makes me ill thinking about them, thinking about those teachers who put themselves in the line of fire to try to help whomever they could. All because some coward was able to get his hands on a piece of machinery that people use to kill one another and was purchased legally. Why someone would need such an instrument is beyond me. I'm not going to sit here and condemn the Americans on this site for their rights and what they believe in. I have no right to do so. It's a shame that it's come to a bunch of pissing matches of "us vs them". It really shouldn't as this isn't the proper place for it. It's just so hard to not get caught up in what we think is "right", we've seen this so many times yet it doesn't happen anywhere near the frequency here or abroad as it does in the States. So if an American is taking offence to any of the posts keep in mind, we're not picking on you or trying to start anything. We just don't get it.

Well said.....

Then why are we arguing about this? we both agree stricter gun control is better anyway you look at it

It's so refreshing to see an American with your viewpoint.

Few and far between...

Right back at ya! Every post you make is absolute poop.

After we get MJL perma-banned I would have Bieksa#3, Jbold, Beatle john, Tuna and Scoobie doo as the next ones to get rid of.
- Iggysbff

What is the problem. Why do you want those who don't share the same opinion as you do, banned?

1: Hank
2: Flower
3: Lou
4: Quick
5: Price
6: Miller

Are you kidding? Where is Rinne?

So let's see, first you have Philadelphia and then:

Vancouver
Toronto
Vancouver
Toronto
and finally Vancouver

see a pattern?

Not arguing. Just a discussion. I have nothing against you.

Now only if our government can have meaningful discussions. Have a good night

I'm an American. No offense taken. It's a great Country. But there are a lot of areas where we need to get our poop together. Gun control is obviously one of them.

No. It's because he hates you.

I'd say it's among the top.....

Along with education and foreign policy.

Actually Im not one of the ones that want you banned...I dont agree with you, but you talk hockey.

I just put you on there because lots of other guys want it.

The rest on the list are either just trolls or absolute wieners...or both...

Not a mass murder. But murders with knives happen all the time. Blame the knives! Ban knives!
- Deadmau55

Knives have other legitimate uses besides killing something.

And the Government does ban certain knives.

Hell, a lot of the southern states have greater knife control than gun control.

There are more laws pertaining to the use of ladders in the US than there are laws regarding gun ownership.

Adrian Peterson needs 293 rushing yards in the last 2 games to break Eric Dikcerson's all time record of 2105.

I know it sounds a bit homerish, but I'm pulling for him.
- MnGump

AD is the man. He'll do it.

EDIT: Then again, they play Houston and Green Bay the last two weeks. Tall order..

An American that wants stricter gun control laws is few and far between?

Go Broncos! NHL is dead this year and part of next.

You'd be so jealous of our ride.

That's one hot rod!

Unfortunately, yes.

If they weren't the American constitution would've been changed long ago.

The 2nd amendment should be ripped from the american constitution, burned, force fed to Charlton Heston, then pooped on the grave of Adam Lanza.

Everybody knows the impact of mental health issues when it comes to these tragedies. But it pisses me off when politicians use that argument. Because the attitude seems to be:
a) we have no interest in greater gun control because the cause of the shooting was a man with mental issues; and
b) we have no interest in providing funding or solutions for mental health problems either.
The Dems are pushing for more gun control, why aren't the Repubs pushing for more funding for mental health services? The whole "guns don't kill people, people kill people" is a good soundbite, but both parties seem unwilling to do much about it.
- niedermayer27

People with guns kill people.

Did you know in china last week a crazy man went to an elementary school and attacked 20 kids. This man had a knife...there were no fatalities.

Americans are clueless if they don't think there is a problem having guns, especially the ones you can legally own.
