ROFL, the only thing that's going to solve the violence problem in your country is if the people in your country decides to do something about it. Even if you cut off every single gun from the US to Mexico, you think the cartels would just go "oh noes we are doomed!!1!!1", or just get more guns from south america, which they already do? You realize that there IS such a thing as arms dealer right? |

The violence in your country is due to YOUR DRUG GANGs, the US government selling them guns, and South America. The actual reason Mexico has the problems it does is the drugs, not anything else. If the US legalized drugs for recreational purposes, the flow of money to Mexican Cartels would vanish, and they wouldn't be able to afford guns. That is the best way to stop that problem. As a side note: Why does every single one of these events bring out the stupid in so many journalists? Was the Batman movie shooting imitated from scene in 1986 comic? http://washingtonexaminer.com/batman...rticle/2502701

There is no confusion:
Only 12% of the guns used by the Cartels are of US origin (that they know of), the rest are of foreign sources since you cannot buy machineguns or grenades in the USA over the counter at a gun store. That's the problem with this shooting in the Colorado theater, the national media is acting like this guy went full auto with an AR-15 (which is impossible since it is semi-auto only). Many idiots online are calling it an AK-47, which is another weapon you cannot buy here in the US as a full-auto weapon at a gun store. So whether we're talking about Mexico, or Columbine, or now Aurora, we are not speaking of military weapons but rather civilian look-a-likes that shoot like hunting rifles not military guns. Here is some more info on the shooter: Colorado theater shooting suspect was neuroscience Ph.D student (PHOTO) http://sg.sports.yahoo.com/blogs/loo...160848135.html @kyp275 I would agree, but just legalizing marijuana, hash, and peyote would go a long way in reducing the wallet size of the Cartels.

Mangamuscle, you keep saying the perp was suicidal -- there's actually no evidence he was. The neuroscience majoring student appears to want to be around to watch the results of his cowardice.
My condolences to anyone who knew any of the people hurt or killed by this little cesspool of evil. (Most of the damage appears to have been from a shotgun, with only one AR-15 round blamed for one injury, and some from the Glock pistol). Of course, given the way he got into the theater, he could just as easily have lobbed two or three jacked up molotovs and done even more damage. However, I am actively wondering about his mental background for this reason: (snippet from Raw Story article, author's words): Quote:

TBT, because these whole drugs fiasco amphetamines are now illegal in my country, and I have to admit I miss the little rush I got from the medication every time I got the flu (but fear not, I have never been a meth addict). |

Matter of fact is, firearms are not the most deadly weapon of choice if your goal is to inflict maximum casualty, as they require some semblance of proficiency on the part of the operator to be effective. explosives are far more effective in that regard, and can be rather easily acquired. |

As a side comment, a local politician that has lost twice (in second place) his run for the presidency in Mexico is no doubt (sadly leftist here love hime) nuts, so I do not think it is a problem only in the USA. As george bush said about his implication in skulls and bones "and that is all I will say on that matter". |

Gotcha. Range wouldn't be an issue in this scenario... with that many people, the chance for a lucky hit is obviously greater, but still not very good. |

Or you can actually participate in an honest debate by actually responding to the points I made, perhaps this one I raised earlier: "How would you take away the hundreds of millions of firearms already in existence now? and if you don't, how will the elimination of production achieve anything?" |

More on the Colorado Shooter story:
"Aurora, Colo., police and FBI officials told Denver NBC affiliate 9News Friday morning that the suspect in the early Friday movie theater mass shooting has "booby-trapped" his apartment with a sophisticated setup of flammable devices that could take authorities days to disarm."
