        @aayoungblood12 @WSJ not sure if trolling or stupid? Criminals are more likely to carry a gun if they can obtain it easily...

        @bigmo8 @WSJ Criminals will always find a weapon if they don't currently have one. Theft is punishable only if caught. Laws don't stop crime

        @aayoungblood12 @WSJ But its much more likely to have a gun pulled on you in the US than in the UK because its easier to buy a gun. Fact.

        @bigmo8 @WSJ Agreed. Crime less likely to happen if criminal is confronted with harm/defense. Fact.

        @aayoungblood12 @WSJ and you're much likely to end up dead too. Your thought process is highly flawed.

        @bigmo8 @WSJ Beg to differ. Guns invented to assault/defend from a distance. Shall we also make knives illegal? Do your homework, pacifist.

        @WSJ Special thanks to Bush and Chaney for allowing the ban on assault rifles to expire in 2004. This tragedy belongs to you.

        @WSJ ...FYI, guns are NOT the problem, PEOPLE are. We move further from the Lord and then wonder, in shock, what the problems are.
