Years ago after another lunitic shoot up a bunch of people on a subway using ‘Black Talon’ rounds, they immediately banned and stoped producing them. But then introduced ‘Fail-Safe’ rounds the next day. Very same bullet, same package less the name, and even the same order number from the manufacturer. Keep your eyes open for the new ‘Wack Master’ after they discontinue this gun.

Free market at work. People will continue to divest from things that make them sick.

Anyone with half a brain can see it is the mother’s fault for leaving guns around for her mentally ill son to get his hands on them.
The father probably knew but said nothing to the mother.
But it would be politically incorrect to say that in the media.

One can’t help but wonder where Cal teachers group was before this happened. If they are so socially repsonsible they should not have invested at all. And remember they make real good judgements as it is, just look at the state of California’s tax and spend system.

Was Spitzer coming or going from a whore house when he made that comment? Did he have his socks on?

When are we going to ban cars for all the tens of thousand of drunk driving death every year?

Spitzer and anyone who blames the weapons for this tragedy is a moron and an accomplice to the imposition of tyranny.

2009 CDC cause of death statistics in US:

Guns: 31,000 (59% suicides)
Automobile: 34,000
Heart disease: 600,000
Abortion: 1,212,400

Thats over 3300/ DAY… imagine a 9/11 death toll in America EVERY DAY…

Does this mean I will not be able to buy a Bushmaster and high cap clips now?
Darn.
I was going to buy one with 10 – 30 round clips in case someone broke into my home. Now how will I defend my family? What if a group of 20 Afghan insurgents attack my house?
If people want to play military, go volunteer like I did or go play paintball war games.
YOU ARE NOT IN THE US ARMY, SO STOP PRETENDING, you bunch of right wing, never served, military wanna-be, jokes.

@LesLegato,

The numbers you advanced are truly horrifying, and speak for themselves -
Clearly, it is imperative to reduce Americans’ exposure to guns, especially to high power ones such as killers prefer, and by doing so save thousands of lives annually.

As for banning cars, it’s not going to happen, since unlike guns, cars are generally very useful to society.
