The same day of the Sandy Hook murders, a male in China took a knife, and sliced and diced a couple of dozen little kids in a school.
In England, which doesn't allow guns, people have been attacked with knives. A legislator over there has proposed banning long kitchen knives. He said they serve no purpose in the kitchen, as a short knife will do for food prep.
In Chicago, which has the strictest gun laws on the books, they have broken the record for the number of shooting deaths. The government in Illinois has made it impossible to have a gun for self protection. So, the good people cannot defend themselves, but the criminals have absolutely no problem.
Here's a link to the story the low information wing nut is talking about in China. Since the Chinese man didn't have a semi-automatic weapon, none of the 23 school children died. Every single parent spent the holidays with their children instead of going to their funerals. The attack illustrates why we need national gun control in the US. More guns=more gun related deaths. Luckily, now that Obama has been reelected, he is going to be able ram gun control down the throats of the neocons just like he rammed Obamacare down their throats in the first term.It always amazes me that people like Tiger1 claim to be Christians as they try to justify the massive loss of life that our lack of regulations on guns cause. We need to regulate guns the same way we regulate cars. Every gun owner needs to be licensed, every gun registered and gun owners should be required to carry liability insurance.I am a Christian. I also believe in self defense, which is allowed in the Bible. Taking away my guns takes away my self defense. If you are so much for this nazi b.s., feel free to go to Gary, and turn in your guns for the buy-back program, and get some grocery cetrificates or gift cards.
IMO, IF there was armed security at this school, this incident might have been avoided, or could have lessened the scope of this tragedy. FTR, the guns this murderer used were legally owned by his mother. Gun registration would not have stopped him, as the guns were already legal.
