The Colorado incident was a terrible terrible tragedy.DonnyG. wrote:This is going to probably sound crazy and won't sit well with the majority but all they have to do is legalize marijuana and many of these dui's will just disappear. End of problem. Just like that. Poof! And unlike alcohol it's SO SO much safer to drive while stoned too so please don't start a debate about safety and people's lives here. Many other countries that are far less developed than ours are already on board with this and just like education, health care and gun control (see today's top news) we are trailing behind further every day
That's more of a political statement than fantasy football related but still. As far as britt being a complete butt head and waste of talent i echo all of the sentiments expressed here.
However, Gun control would not have prevented the Colorado incident. This kid was not a licensed gun owner, nor did he have a permit to my knowledge to carry these guns yet he still got them.
This Britt case is a perfect example of this. Drinking and driving and drugs are illegal yet he still did it. He has a shady/ borderline criminal background. He isnt gonna follow laws or rules.
I am not a pro gun person nor am I an NRA member. However, everyone should have the right to carry a firearm! If laws ever get passed to revoke peoples firearms, the only people affected by that will be law abiding citizens...people who are armed to protect their house or family, hunters, sportsmen, etc.......
Criminals are criminals. Do you think they would follow a gun ban? Of course not. This country would not be a real fun place to live in when the criminals and law enforcers are the only ones with guns! Now, criminals have to think twice before doing a home invasion not knowing if the home owner is armed or not. What do you think would happen if all criminals knew no home owners were armed?
I know the UN and US are holding a conference as we speak to try and pass gun ban legislation. The timing of this shooting is very ironic in that sense.
While I respect your point of view about trying to eliminate violence/guns, it goes a lot deeper than that. In a perfect world, sure, no one would need guns if everyone was happy,loving, caring, etc.....We dont live in that world nor will we ever. That's why people should be allowed to protect themselves. The founders of this country knew what they were doing when they included that into their legislation.
