It is possible for non-Americans to make pro-gun statements.
So, again, what do you want a citation for? That those two want USAns to have guns, or that their statements conflict?
Alternatively, you could go back to calling Starlight a moron because you can't parse sentences and don't think anyone could possibly be aware of facts that you needed to research.Jorge: Functional Complex Information is INFORMATION that is complex and functional.

Originally posted by Psychic Missile View PostIf a kid wants to kill people at school, making sure he doesn't have guns would significantly hamper his plans. That's something we can do to fight the problem right now. Getting to the heart of mass killings and finding a way to prevent them from the beginning isn't going to happen any time soon.
Raise the age of gun ownership to 21 like Cow poke suggested. Most of these school shootings are by disgruntled and disturbed students. Put metal detectors at the doors and have armed guards. When the FBI gets a credible threat report about someone like Cruz, investigate it and take away any guns they own, or have them committed and get some help. There is a lot we can do that is reasonable that doesn't involve overreacting and screaming "destroy all guns!"
