Yelling "Fire!" in a crowded theater is against the law but nobody is seriously complaining that it is an unnecessary surrender of freedom. The notion that the Second Amendment is more sacred than the First would laughable if it wasn't so deadly wrong.
If the price of so-called "freedom" is 20 dead children, then either you do not know what freedom is or the price is too high and I no longer wish to be "free".
In 2001 Leibacher still managed to obtain a gun and kill 14 people in Zug, Switzerland.
Had to go back over ten years for that one. Meanwhile, back in the land of the free, there were over 25 yesterday, twelve in Aurora back in July, and that's within the last six months. So, nice try but fail.
So after we run the Constitution through the shredder you'll sincerely apologize when the death toll goes higher than ever?
I know that's part of the whole gun-nut fantasy, take away the guns and widespread carnage results, but we have the guns and we already have the widespread carnage. Sorry to let reality intrude on your NRA-sponsored wet dream but it's not going to happen that way.
No it can't. Eventually it's going to stop from too many bodies slowing it down. With a gun you just pop in a new clip or pull another gun (or both) and keep going.
You had to go all the way back to 1927 for that. How many mass shootings have happened in the United States this year? Heck, I count 23 instances of school shootings in the United States with more than one victim in just the last ten years.
Simple. Somebody here is going to see your posts about your app, notice that you refuse to put it on iOS because you're cheap, write a clone for iOS, and sell it in Apple's App Store. Profit!

America is what we make it. Get a penis implant. A gun won't fix your problem.

And banning guns tomorrow, totally...would not affect gun crime in the US for decades, there are just too many guns and ammo to be had out there.
It would be worth the wait.
Priceless.
The rash of these events this year is frightening, but before this year it was as rare as Norway.
Wrong.

Sorry to have gone over your head. I'll dumb it down next time.

If Hitler came to power in the US, everybody would be very surprised, what with him being dead and all...

Tell you what. When we experience a rash of SUV-related mass killings, then you'll have a point.
This past year over 20 children died the slow death of heatstroke/hypothermia after their parents locked them in cars.
Not on the same day in the span of a few minutes.
Had to go back three years for that example. You only have to go back a few months for an example in the US.
It has been conclusively shown again and again that the purpose of the second amendment is not to fight zombies, but to resist tyranny.
By having a well-regulated militia.

You do know that gun ownership and use is seriously regulated in Switzerland and that they don't have a standing army, right?
Norway has to put up with things like this, what?, once a generation? In the US, it seems like we have these things happen every month or more.
Really? Trolling makes you sicker than 18 dead children? Really? How is life as a sociopath?
Not today.
I'm starting to think it should == exactly that.
How is this in any way a good thing?

Ah, the free market...
Why, oh why would you choose to do that when you could have your apps on Google Play for free?
Because some developers want to make actual money from their apps.
That doesn't count marketing, unless you think that simply listing an app in a store counts as one's entire marketing campaign.
I pay $25 once to list all my apps on the Google Play store. Compared to that, it's simple math that $99 a year is huge.
I mean come on...these are facts you can't really argue with.
Oh but I can. We're talking about Microsoft here. $99 is not huge to Microsoft by any stretch of the imagination.
Oh, 1/4" is small. 4 x 1/4" inch is simple math but it is still not huge.
