Can anybody tell me why a thread about gun control in the USA is being so dominated by a bunch of people who aren't from the USA? Or why people who live under the protections and guarantees of the US Constitution are wasting a moment giving them the satisfaction of a response to their sideline heckling?x

Anyone from anywhere can participate in any thread. Please return to the topic.

However (and this is a FR) there have been a number of personal attacks on this thread, which is not allowed. I am hoping to not have to issue gags for Christmas.

A convicted killer, who shot dead two firefighters with a BUSHMASTER ASSAULT RIFLE after leading them into an ambush when they responded to a house fire he set in Western New York, left behind a typewritten note saying HE WANTED TO "DO WHAT I LIKE DOING BEST, KILLING PEOPLE," police said.

William Spengler, 62, set his home and a car on fire early Monday morning WITH THE INTENTION OF SETTING A TRAP TO KILL FIREFIGHTERS AND TO SEE "HOW MUCH OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD I CAN BURN DOWN," according to the note he wrote and which police found at the scene. The note did not give a reason for his actions.

Spengler, who served 18 years in prison for beating his 92-year-old grandmother to death with a hammer in 1981, hid Monday morning in a small ditch beside a tree overlooking the sleepy lakeside street in Webster, N.Y., where he lived with his sister, police said today in a news conference.

That woman, Cheryl Spengler, 67, remains missing and may also have been killed, police said.

As firefighters arrived on the scene after a 5:30 a.m. 911 call on the morning of Christmas Eve, Spengler opened fire on them with THE BUSHMASTER, THE SAME SEMI-AUTOMATIC, MILITARY-STYLE WEAPON USED IN THE DEC. 14 RAMPAGE KILLING OF 20 CHILDREN IN NEWTOWN, CONN.

While using his Bushmaster to kill the firefighters, I wonder if he felt "manly", like the manufacturer said he would in their advertisements?

had he been put to death for beating his momma to death back in 1981, he could not have murdered those firefighters.

I'm not. Hecklers don't get a veto.

I'm wondering if the reason the anti-gun position is being led from abroad is because the thinking Americans are moving beyond the knee-jerk reaction to the horror of Sandy Hook, and remembering the vital role all those guns play in the maintenance of a free state.

First off,it's not an anti-gun position,that is as disingenenuous as positing that someone holds a "pro-abortion" position.
No one is positing that guns be confiscated(no one with a serious position)what folks are calling for,and American folks to boot,is serious comprehensive gun regulation.
If you can not see the need for such legislation,following the Sandy Hook tragedy ,than I suggest you are experiencing a knee jerk defense of the Second,despite the fact that it is not in fact being attacked.
