Perhaps the NRA and gun-ban opponents will kill themselves off

    I have no problems with extensive background checks. I have no problem with waiting periods, though six months seems excessive. How about two weeks, or a month?

    There's a middle ground that can be found between the extremes. People wanting to confiscate all the guns will never win. And the fringe NRAers need to quit pounding the "slippery slope" drum because it's not in the best interests of a majority of gun owners.

    when gun owners are thrown in jail, the aclu will bitch about tough sentences.

    People should not be allowed to do this sort of thing with a rented gun.

    I hope that they keep her deposit.

    don't worry, inky - simon is hoping I get knocked off soon, too. hopefully it will be before my wife and I can teach our daughter about being responsible around firearms. good God.

    I'm not a big gun fan and I do favor reasonable, responsible controls for gun laws. But I have to admit, Simon's thread title was a bit much. Wishing or hoping for violence? Kinda defeats the purpose of a gun law, right?

    A woman in Detroit put her daughter in the oven a few months ago. I guess we should ban ovens then.

    Seems to me if she was that hell-bent on killing him and then herself, she'd have done it somehow, gun or not.

    saw on the news this afternoon that a gas station attendant was run down -- and backed over for good measure -- as she stood in front of a guy's car telling him he needed to pay for his gas. $34 to fill his tank, and he killed this lady for it. seems our 'civilized country' has no problems in finding ways to kill people. don't have a gun? no problem - most everyone's got a car.

    You hit it right on the head, jps. "Civilized country" indeed. And yet we think we have some kind of claim to a moral high ground when it comes to the rest of the world. ::)

    I make no bones about my morality meter - it's angled sharply to the right of centre. I hope the guy from the gas station spends the rest of his life in prison (general population, please and thank you) and I hope the trigger-happy mom burns in hell for what she did to her son and family, not to mention the trauma she caused the others at the gun range.
