Were any laws passed?

What the world has been waiting for; Michael Moore's response: Its Not Really the Guns | MichaelMoore.com

Correction, only banning guns probably won't work. It is a complex situation that requires multiple efforts that may include gun control laws.

Here:

No, I'm not. I'm the first person to provide an example of a study showing a decrease in crime after gun control laws were introduced. (I did not quote the whole article because you asked for evidence to the contrary of your position (though still provided a link for anyon who was interested to...

No, you supported your position with evidence that supports your position ignoring other evidence. You did not prove it, because it is a complicated relationship involving other aspects such as the rise of drug cartels, and so on. As well as guns already in circulation. Just because they are...

Along with Bold Seagulls comment that you brought up the articles, I would add: this nine page thread has covered many layers to the argument. You can't pick and choose the arguments to suit yourself. The potential flaw to your logic for your argument has been highlighted. You disagree, but...

Isn't the quote from an article you provided? If it's not part of the debate, why bring it up? EDIT: I see it is in fact from another article posted in response to one you brought up. Either way, this debate is about gun laws and america, and as such the second amendment and militias are...

The second amendment is at the heart of every debate on gun control for america. The second amendment is: A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed. Of course the concept of militia is important.

It actually is realistic. Cinemas are dark places once the film has started. The film had started, ergo, it was a dark place. Smoke bombs were released into the room, so that even incidental light from the screen and emergency lighting is rendered useless. People aren't going to sit still when...

There was a twitlonger tweet thingy from jason alexander (?) earlier in this thread. He seemed to counter every point dingodan is making before he made them.

I know, I was just explaining. :thumbsup:

I was agreeing with your sentiment that he isn't so much trying to be the joker as the media are trying to make out like he was, pointing out how inaccurate his "portayal" of a character he is supposedly a big fan of was. Really, if he was trying to mimic the joker he wouldn't get something as...

Red hair, body armour, arsenal of weapons - not the joker I've ever seen.

But everything I said about prisons applies to secure mental health facilities.

Don't prisons employ people? Don't they buy things (food, bedding, tvs, play stations, as well as administrative equipment for offices)? Don't they protect our freedom by locking up people who don't respect our rights?

Somewhat ironically, Batman is a hero who doesn't like gun, he has a very anti-gun policy (in the third film he even takes a gun away from catwoman while they are fighting together)

See, I've had worse movie marathons than that, but never done so with the big gulp and papa johns. Thank god I don't like mushrooms, or else who knew where these combinations would have taken me.

It is far too simple to suggest it was a particular film or video game that made him do it. None of them have that power over people, or else more than one person from the millions of people that watched Munich or Hostel or The Dark Knight would have done this. It is a currently...
