Second, I hope the jerkwads that did thisend up running to Mexico and get into a scrape with their law enforcement officers. A lifetime in a Mexican prison as an American has to be one of the most pleasant experiences you can enjoy.
To the part about taking away guns. People have been killing people since there were two people on the planet. You put people together, somebody eventually is going to kill someone. They used to do it with their bare hands, graduated to rocks and sticks, then knives and spears all the way down the line to an atomic bomb. You can't stop violence in humans anymore than you can change the stars, but you can make them think about it by stiffening the laws. Violent acts deserve violent, public response. You kill, get killed in a public forum (for those who want to watch). It sounds harsh, and alot of people will disagree and tell me how inhumane that is, but whatever. Scum deserves to die.
I couldn't agree more. Our laws are way too lax. There's a reason America has one of the (if not THE) highest crime rate in the world. Countries like Singapore have a 0% crime rate because they will cane your @ss if you so much as spit your gum on the sidewalk.

Guns turn robbers into murders.
How many people do you see hold up a 7-11 with a freakin wood hatchet?
I'm not turning this thread into a gun control issue. I'll lock it before it does. lol
Besides, awwchrist, even if they set a gun control law into effect, why would the criminals obey it? They're criminals, that's what they do. It would just be another law they would break, because they would still carry weapons, illegal or not. It's not like we could actually keep guns out of their hands. If we can't do it with drugs, why would we be able to with guns? Furthermore, it would take guns out of the hands of a law abiding citizen like myself, who only keeps a gun in the house for self protection.
Sorry, I know this isn't a gun control thread, but we can start one separately right?
Eagles fans - were you expecting big things from McDougal this yr? What is the general consensus about when he will return? Is there a plan B? What kind of impact will this have on PHI's D if he does not return this yr?
BTW - I hope he gets well soon and his family can begin to pick up the pieces. It could have been a lot worse.
