That man who shot the cop yesterday was just emotional and a tad excitable. It was hardly even his fault at all. It was the gun's fault for amplifying his rage to deadly levels.
If all of us law-abiding citizens would allow the helpful lads of the government to disarm us all, the evil guns would leave us alone.
Thank God our forefathers had the foresight they had. There is a mechanism, good doctor, for getting the ineffective laws you seek enacted in a constitutional manner. Get two thirds of both houses of congress, three quarters of the fifty states, and the president to agree on a change to the Constitution. Until that time, leave us free men alone.
Amen.
Let me get this straight: the shooting occurred in the city and state with some of the most restrictive gun laws in the country and "Dr Demento" here thinks the problem is not enough gun control?
Sh'yeah...right...
And criminals stop using guns because there are laws against them...
...Consider what would have happened yesterday with stricter federal gun controls in effect....
Consider how many damned commies will die if they try to revoke the Second Amendmnet.
Want mine, come and try to get it.
I think Patton said, "Don't mourn the death of these men. Thank God that men like these lived."
Dang it. Gotta register for the NY post to read a anti-gun article. I thought they were the good guys.
Ah, New York, where even the CONSERVATIVE NY Post is anti-gun, as are nearly every Republican politician (including Rudy).
Hey Doc, in the course of writing this article did you ever consider that the Seattle area, where I can walk into any shop and, following a quick BATF background check, purchase a weapon (to say nothing of shall-issue concealed carry), has a lower murder rate than New York? Could it be that areas with high homicide rates tend to be those with dysfunctional social mores rather than those with easy access to firearms?
while i truly respect this doctor and the work he does, he fails to see the difference between legal and illegal guns. he only sees the damage guns can do in the hands of criminals. i cannot blame him but i also cannot agree with him.
NY Republicans are anti-gun. Its in the water up there.
The trend in crimes is down, including gun violence. But ya should never let the facts get in the way of a good story.
I've had this debate before with a local ER doc. For highly educated people some are pretty clueless about the real world
Doc, we are awash in guns where I'm at too. We also have one of the lowest homicide rates in the country.
Sure, doc...whatever you say.
After reading this, I think I'll send the NRA a little Christmas present.
Yeah, we all know how strict gun control has ended gun violence in the island nations of Great Britain and Australia.
Oops, it hasn't.
Yet another liberal response to failure - demand we do more of what fails in the hope that doing enough of it might work, despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary.
Another emotional appeal to destroy the only defense the population has against anarchy or tyranny.
ok.. I puked... can a get an alert next time :)
