[Penny Lane 8,159]

i don't think anyone here is proposing that idea. try sticking to reality.

Nobody here EVER proposes that idea, and yet people always bring it up.

You wanna play, you gotta pay.

Put the same kind of taxes on guns that they put on cigarettes and gasoline.

This has failed in court before because you cannot put a sin tax on a constitutional right.

He seems to have been suffering from some sort of depression. Though we have no way of knowing if he was being treated for it or if he was just being dramatic.

This is where the "have thicker skin" argument fails. Some people need help and they aren't getting it. To tell those people to toughen up is creating more problems than it's solving.

Bingo!!! Best post Iv'e seen you make on this board and it was a good one.

Why are all these whack job killings happening now when they were almost non existent 30 years ago? Society is my guess. Weak people with weak minds. Today's America is nothing like it was in the 80's and before then. Now every one needs a pill and every one has a weak excuse for being weak minded. One big nanny state has created most of these whack job kids these days.

well maybe that's because you haven't been reading any of my posts. people have the right to arm themselves. i've never said anything to the contrary.

i don't however, prescribe mental illness as a weakness or being weak minded. that, my dear, is where you are completely ignorant. our brains have inherent processes, they sometimes malfunction, no matter how strong you consider yourself..

wth? It's been proposed in this forum several times since I registered here in 2007 and as recently as yesterday.

There is nothing left to say when someone goes and shoots a bunch of kids at an elementary school.

So what is the foundation for the high taxes on gasoline then? Maintenance of the roads.

Tax guns to pay for public security.

I am.

my bad. still. you're not taking away my hypothetical guns buddy! (they scare me)

Let me check if gasoline is in the constitution.

Breaks my heart, what a friggin sicko. Now Fox says that he killed his mother who taught at the school, and the victims were primarily her students.

So what did kids do when they didn't have all these wannabee school shrinks prescribing meds for them? We didn't have that ####### when I was in school and when you messed up you got a whipping, not some whack job LWN parent excusing the kid for being a brat because Little Johnny isn't really a misbehaved jerk off, he's just "misunderstood" or "creative". Then again you didn't see these mass killings back then either. I guess it was done all wrong back then and today's method is way better hence all the whack jobs doing this kind of ####### like in the OP.

I've yet to see anyone in these numerous gun threads say "ban them all"

Wanting stricter gun laws does not equal wanting to take the guns away from the law abiding citizens. Yet the pro-gun people always think people are trying to take what's theirs.
