A guy uses a legally-obtained gun for committing a heinous crime and now we want to take guns away from responsible citizens???
There's no doubt guns are used DAILY for terrible crimes across the country. But there are easily obtained statistics that prove that nearly all crimes committed using guns are done so with illegally obtained guns.
Let me ask you a couple simple questions about Jared Lee Loughner:
1. If he was deemed unfit to own a gun (should have been - thanks Sheriff Dupnik) and he was hell bent on committing this crime, don't you think he could easily have gotten a gun illegally? He would have either stolen one (like most illegal gun owners do) or bought a stolen gun.
2. If guns were outlawed altogether and he had these aweful thoughts in his head, wouldn't he have just used a different method to kill or hurt the victims? He would most likely have used explosives or something even more lethal and killed or injured even more people.
We're being a little naive if we think that preventing Loughner from legally obtaining a gun would have prevented this whole crime.
And for all you gun control advocates out there, here's a question for you:
Would you be willing to put a sticker on your car window or the front door
of your house saying 'I am an anti-gun person--there are no guns in this
[car/house]'? (http://www.theforbiddenknowledge.com/hardtruth/guncontrol.htm)
I'm jsut sayin'...
