Gun shooting in dc near by white house {nm} mike255 Oct 03, 12:18

Is it time to discuss gun control?? {nm} Buy BONDS 21 Oct 03, 15:39

I think you'll find that a car was the weapon; where are the calls for car control? edzep - Port Monkey! Oct 03, 15:44

Already have it. Driving is a privilege, not a right and licensed in all states. Big difference. {nm} BSmurf Oct 03, 16:00

All of the licensing and control, and yet, millions of people a year are killed with cars. It would seem that we need MORE car control. edzep - Port Monkey! Oct 03, 16:08

[millions, probably erroneous; you get the point] {nm} edzep - Port Monkey! Oct 03, 16:09

When there are grievous car tragedies, there are calls for appropriate controls, as far as I recall. Several times when an elderly person Paul2k Oct 03, 17:02

Can't we agree that responsible gun ownership with sensible regulation (of the gun owner, the gun itself, and the sale/manufacture of guns) Paul2k Oct 03, 17:16

Absolutely, as on outsider though it seems that the vocal groups are against any kind of regulation srrichardson Oct 04, 03:35

Your last sentence buys into the fiction that the anti-gun agenda has set up. edzep - Port Monkey! Oct 04, 13:38

More like, his experience of living in the UK has shown him that strict gun laws leads to fewer gun deaths and fewer crimes involving guns. {nm} RogerMore Oct 04, 14:10

That depends...is gun ownership the cause of this incident or can it be related to some socio-economical-mental-personal factor. - or both? {nm} PVL Admin Oct 03, 17:51
