Pfft.....as I said many posts ago,I will post according to my conscious ,and TOS,giving a shit about your opinion doesn't enter into the discussion. For instance it would probably be a violation of TOS were I to tell you just what you can do with your opinions at this point.....so I won't do so.

On the other hand, it will take a community decision regarding policy of some kind or another (whether that be focused on gun laws or not) to help prevent such slaughters in the future. That will unavoidably involve politics. There's also the point - and perhaps the most crucial one - that one of the neatest tricks of any conservative force in politics is to re-define a matter as somehow 'beyond politics'. Gun-fans seem to have done that very well in the USA, from what I can see. So even to argue that this matter 'is not about politics' is itself to make a very strong political point. In short, the subject of this thread is unavoidably steeped in politics, I'm afraid. If no politics are involved, it'll be about not much more than hand-wringing, which the nearest and dearest of those killed or injured almost certainly won't know about nor care about if they did know. Well, whatever, I'm happy to put my boot in elsewhere. [;)]

quote: ORIGINAL: Musicmystery Tell me, then -- why do we have laws at all? We then enforce the laws. After all, only criminals speed, only criminals steal, only criminals abuse others, only criminals drive drunk, but they don't follow laws, so tell me how having laws against these things helps? We have laws as a crutch for sociopaths and narcissists and other folk that are born without a conscience to give them an innate morality. It provides them with boundaries and direction and enables them to lead a somewhat constructive life. Most of them keep to the law/religion. Some of them, though, cross over and decide to not follow the law, but to do whatever they want, and then begin destructive, criminal lives.

People can surely express their opinion about the incident and loss of life without bringing politics into it. At least, some people can. Others, obviously, cannot. We're done here.
