Gee rand, maybe weapons don't kill people, but they sure make it a hell of a lot easier for killing a lot of people, especially when gun clips or magazines facilitate the process

You insensitive SOB

[Ian David]

1. Guns don't kill people. Stomping peoples' heads into the curb kills people. n/t

[TwilightGardener]

2. Always interesting, to see what certain people are REALLY worried about

when shootings occur. It's not the victims, in this case. It's the innocent guns, who were mistreated and deserve our concern.

[sadbear]

3. The fatalities would have been much smaller if he only had a knife

[spanone]

4. fires don't burn people. cars don't kill people. is he a comedian?

wars don't cause death. on and on.....a tired old ism

[la la]

8. kind of like o'reilly's comments---

'the tide comes in--the tide goes out......'

logic apparently isn't an issue in the conservative/teabagger/loser brain.

[randr]

5. What planet does this cretin live on?

[nadinbrzezinski]

6. Well then, color me surprised, NOT

[Angry Dragon]

7. When I look at pictures of him I see Devil snakes coming

out of his head

Ever notice republicans can diagnose people by just looking at them or reading what they wrote

[Fleshdancer]

9. and yet people who are rejected from the military and college due to

Mental health concerns can still get guns. I have no interest in taking away guns, but come the hell on! A little common sense is required.

[karnac]

10. i agree. send the guns used to jail. killers should go free. not their fault.

afterall, that is the logicAL CONCLUSION U STATE.

[tigereye]

14. How much damage could Jared have done with his bare hands?

I'd like Rand Paul to name one person who has claimed that a gun...all by itself, is capable of flying around and shooting people? Weapons make it very easy for people to kill people.

[Trekologer]

15. You're right, Rand

Guns don't kill people. But imbeciles like you, who tell your followers who are brandishing firearms at your events who to go out and "target" (wink wink nudge nudge), that there are "2nd Amendment remedies" to not getting your way (wink wink nudge nudge), and to use the bullet box if you lose at the ballot box (wink wink nudge nudge), shouldn't act all surprised when someone actually does what you told them to do.

16. Oh I am certain we are going to be hearing this alot in the near future.

[applegrove]

17. What an ***hole!

[Hugabear]

18. Won't someone please think of those poor guns?

Yep, you can always tell someone's true colors when this type of news breaks. People like Rand instinctively come out with their "don't take our guns" crap. Nice to see where their priorities lie.

[Boojatta]

19. He's right!

Weapons don't kill people. Here's what kills people: toner and ink cartridges that are over 16 ounces. That's why they're prohibited items for carry-on and also prohibited as checked items when you are flying.

[Ramulux]

20. Yes they do

That stupid little saying pisses me off to no end. Yes guns kill people, a gun just killed 6 people, does that mean its solely the gun's fault and not the shooter? Of course not, but he was able to kill all those people as fast as he did because he had a gun, which is a device created for murder, for killing. Guns kill people all across this country every day, drive-by shootings, gang violence, hunting accidents, kids finding them and killing themselves, guns kill human beings in this country every single day, to say otherwise shows a lack of understanding of how murders in this country happen.

21. He's right.

Weapons don't kill people.

Teabaggers who've been pushed to violence by Sarah Palin, Rush Limbaugh, G. Gordon Liddy, Bill O'Reilly and Rand Paul kill people.

[Tom Rinaldo]

22. Sure, neither do Land Mines, Or Atom Bombs. n/t
