Reality Check :: Gun Control in America in 2008 :: April :: 2007
So this morning I’m checking the site, and I find a comment to be moderated (meaning, I need to allow it’s publishing). So, I went ahead and allowed the message. But, I’m going to bring it right here to the top of the site for everyone to see.
Along with my response to the idiot that wrote it…
well after today’s shootings in Northern Illinois Univeristy do you still stand by your argument that ordinary citizens should have access to guns. i know its people and not the guns that are evil. but come on don’t u see its because of adamant, stubborn people like you that we had to see the death of 6 students. ..and keep preaching guns are our civilian rights . asshole

Good morning “Cite”. Since you’re throwing around insults like “asshole”, I’ll try to be civil with you even though you don’t deserve it. First of all, you can’t spell, you don’t know how to correctly put together a sentence, nor do you understand sentence structure. Further, you don’t understand the ideal of “capitalism” — not the economic version, the version where you actually capitalize the first letter in your sentences.
Now, let me actually address your “concerns”.
1) Do I stand by my argument that ‘ordinary citizens’ should have access to guns? Yes, absolutely. Why? Because MORON it’s a RIGHT for us ‘ordinary citizens’ to have guns.
2) You know it is people and not guns that are evil? Really? DO you REALLY understand that? Because if you DID understand that you would realize that the simple fact of the matter is had there been other “ordinary citizens” armed at that college the other day, then someone would have shot and killed that EVIL asshole that killed those students.
3) “but come on don’t u see its because of adamant, stubborn people like you that we had to see the death of 6 students” No- asshole, it’s people like YOU that caused this. People who prevent LAW ABIDING citizens from having guns, so that the BAD GUYS have guns ONLY. No, to be fair, it wasn’t your fault, any more than it was my fault. The man that killed those people was at fault.
But, I will say that those who believe that banning guns will solve the problem have a mental problem, like you. You believe that merely banning guns will prevent bad guys from walking in, WITH GUNS to kill people.
Sorry, but, you’ve got a mental problem if you believe that, and I think you should seek the assistance of a doctor, and for the record, I don’t think YOU should be allowed to have a gun.
4) “..and keep preaching guns are our civilian rights . asshole”. Thank you, dickhead… I WILL keep preaching it.
Last but not least, let me point something out to you regarding Illinois law.
The following information is about that state:
What is Unlawful Use of Weapons?
Section 24-1 of the Criminal Code of 1961:
“(a) a person commits the offense of unlawful use of weapons when he knowingly:
*** (4) Carries or possesses in any vehicle or concealed on or about his person except when on his land or in his abode or fixed place of business any pistol, revolver, stun gun, taser or other firearm.” 720 ILCS 5/24-1(a)(4)(West 1994).
Guess WHAT!? The guy that killed those people was ILLEGALLY CARRYING CONCEALED WEAPONS. He didn’t follow the law, imagine that. He didn’t have a “Firearms Owners Identification Card” which is required in that state to have and carry a weapon legally.
My point is, dumbass, is that it didn’t MATTER to him because he was a criminal, going to commit a crime and kill people, and had NO REASON TO FOLLOW THE LAW.
Law ABIDING citizens are the ONLY PEOPLE who would NOT HAVE WEAPONS in ANY CRIMINAL SITUATION if guns were BANNED.
Are you a complete, God Damned, Idiot? Yes, you are.

Update: Well, I will always admit when I’m wrong about some. I was wrong to state that Kazmierczak didn’t have a Firearms Owners Identification Card. As it turns out, he DID have one. So he legally obtained his weapons. This, I assume is the problem with “Cite” though, because he feels that since ANYONE can get a gun ANYONE WILL commit these crimes.
This is where we differ. While this person was able to get a card, he ALSO “struggled with mental illness”… (http://www.suntimes.com/news/metro/801681,021908daley.article) and certainly should not have been allowed to gain access to weapons. However, I’ll say that there is a law about this and therefore, if someone wants to BLAME someone for this - besides the killer, then blame the damned laws in Illinois for “over-regulation” and preventing EVERYONE from being able to own a gun.
Essentially, this murderer wasn’t denied guns because the LAW didn’t STOP him. If you’re going to create a law then it should work. If it doesn’t work, then get rid of the law. Give everyone the right to carry weapons without going through all the bullshit to get a valid ‘government authorization’ (which should NOT exist anyway) so they can defend themselves.
