Tue, 26 Oct 2010 06:46:15 +0000 http://www.komonews.com/news/local/105731978.html#IDComment106118123 http://www.komonews.com/news/local/105731978.html#IDComment106118047 the absurdity of this statement is mindboggling. who was the last person to go on a workplace shooting spree with a bow? who was the last person to shoot up a high school or college... with a bow? when do you see articles like this one, involving a bow and arrow. someone go find the stats on guns vs bow related violence. what a stupid thing to say. how many people were murdered last year with handguns? yeah about 12,000. get a grip. Tue, 26 Oct 2010 06:45:32 +0000 http://www.komonews.com/news/local/105731978.html#IDComment106118047 http://www.komonews.com/news/local/105731978.html#IDComment106082219 i bow hunt myself, so if you want to compare the difficulty of our tasks, and which is a more useful tool, i welcome you to it. i'll bet you drive your land rover into the woods, screwing up native flora so you can use your ak47 to cut a few bucks down. big frickin deal, i am nowhere near impressed.

Tue, 26 Oct 2010 01:13:08 +0000 http://www.komonews.com/news/local/105731978.html#IDComment106081710 http://www.komonews.com/news/local/105731978.html#IDComment106081483 right, so because something is "impossible" it should just be ignored, and anything contrary to it is "mute" (the word is moot, but i will let it slide). you sound a lot like the catholic church of around 1300. Tue, 26 Oct 2010 01:11:05 +0000 http://www.komonews.com/news/local/105731978.html#IDComment106081483 http://www.komonews.com/news/local/105731978.html#IDComment106080439 consider the number of cars compared to the number of guns. then consider the amount of deaths both cause when compared to the BENEFIT they provide. a car gets me to work. it gets me to school. it gets your kids to soccer practice, etc, etc. a guns only tangible benefit is that is exists to kill someone. that's it. oh, and they look cool and are shiny. a CAR is necessary in our day to day existence, just like ohh airplanes, or pants, or pencils. a gun provides nothing. next. Tue, 26 Oct 2010 01:02:07 +0000 http://www.komonews.com/news/local/105731978.html#IDComment106080439 http://www.komonews.com/news/local/105731978.html#IDComment106079715 well i dont need to hope and pray. fortunately, something real and tangible can back me up, called statistics. according to the fbi, i am more likely to be shot with a gun on a public stree than shot in my own home during a robbery. i don't wear body armor all day to protect against someone shooting me on the streets, why would i use a gun to protect my home? i live life according to the laws of averages, and i protect myself where PRUDENT. this isnt rocket science.

Tue, 26 Oct 2010 00:51:04 +0000 http://www.komonews.com/news/local/105731978.html#IDComment106079116 http://www.komonews.com/news/local/105731978.html#IDComment106078550 i do have a way to defend myself, it's called being aware of my surroundings, having a dog, and being man enough to use a baseball bat. i dont need a gun to fight my battles for me, nor will i live in a state of fear because someone might break into my house. Tue, 26 Oct 2010 00:46:08 +0000 http://www.komonews.com/news/local/105731978.html#IDComment106078550 http://www.komonews.com/news/local/105731978.html#IDComment106078394 another ignorant argument, and totally illogical. cars are meant to transport people, guns are meant to kill things. the obvious reply to you is should the parent be blamed if the kid takes the car keys and kills a bunch of people on the road? seriously, are you even trying? Tue, 26 Oct 2010 00:44:48 +0000 http://www.komonews.com/news/local/105731978.html#IDComment106078394 http://www.komonews.com/news/local/105731978.html#IDComment106077007 herp derp, nice argument. you must be from pasco. on the other hand, i've been educated by one of the best schools in the world. you mad? Tue, 26 Oct 2010 00:35:28 +0000 http://www.komonews.com/news/local/105731978.html#IDComment106077007 http://www.komonews.com/news/local/105731978.html#IDComment106076097 typical argument from ignorance. the constitution says that we should be allowed to have weapons to maintain a well regulated militia. guess what, we dont exactly need a militia these days. learn to read, please. Tue, 26 Oct 2010 00:28:25 +0000 http://www.komonews.com/news/local/105731978.html#IDComment106076097 http://www.komonews.com/news/local/105731978.html#IDComment106074836 just another reason why all guns need to be outlawed.
