Topic	American Opinions on Gun Control has NOT CHANGED since the Las Vegas Massacre!!!
Zeus 10/21/17 12:50:44 AM #11:	Golden Road posted... Because guns are easy mode for mass murderers. Getting rid of easy mode will lead to fewer mass murders, and fewer deaths for the mass murders that do occur. They're actually not, which is why so many attempted mass murders fail. You'd be guaranteed more fatalities by driving into a crowd with a large vehicle. Plus suicide bombers average far more fatalities than mass shooters. Hell, there was a suicide bombing in a mosque just today which killed over 63 people. That tops the Las Vegas shooter by at least 5 kills and it required far less equipment. And, before you say that it requires the attacker's death, keep in mind that most mass shooters either kill themselves or suicide-by-cop. Golden Road posted... And there is truck control! You need a special license to drive a truck! Depends on the truck. A lot of trucks don't require special licenses, that's more for big rigs, tractor trailers, whatever. Conner4REAL posted... All political postitions aside the problem w gun control laws is that they don't target the ACTUAL problem. They are made by a knee jerk reaction. To make people feel safer but only regulate those that follow them. That doesn't mean that any shouldn't exist but just that the gun control you pretend to work is a fraud. Gun control laws need to actually address problems while still respecting the constitution. It's what we live by. Pretty much true of any post-tragedy legislation. I think Penn Jilette said it best when he remarked something along the lines of the worst laws are named after victims. Granted, there are some exceptions since AMBER Alerts seem effective. Complete segue, but speaking of exceptions to rules, I was listening to Penn's Every Day is an Atheist Holiday yesterday and he explains the general concept of the "exception that proves the rule." I had partly misunderstood what it meant and often heard it used illogically, but apparently it refers to a legal principle involving limitations to rules; ie, something along the lines of "No parking between 2 and 5" means you can park outside of that time frame. --- (\/)(\/)\|-\| In Zeus We Trust: All Others Pay Cash <cite>Zeus posted [p:888834827] in American O...
