    I would love to have less soldiers overseas and more at home defending our country, but that's just me. As for more control, screw that. That just makes it harder for normal people to get guns. The 2nd Amendment of the Constitution and I disagree with increased gun control.

    Banning guns is the obvious solution. The only issue with banning guns is when you have to come across people like Shaq. But that's still not nearly enough of a reason to not ban them.

    And certainly freedom has nothing to do with it. The way Americans go around with their backs up about this so-called seconded amendment which would compromise their freedom should they not be able to bear arms is ridiculous. Imbeciles these types of people. Like the guy directly above me for example. That's exactly the type of imbecile I'm talking about.

    This is the correct answer. Can't stand it when people can't keep political **** to the appropriate areas.

    The shooting church shooting near San Antonio where an armed citizen shot the murderer and prevented him from killing a lot more people. We don't live in a perfect world. People were crushed by a faulty bridge in Miami today, life is full of impossible odds coming to fruition everyday.

    @Clutch please remove this thread from this forum.

    Wow, just because someone has that opinion, you label them Alex Jones? This perspective has been around long before anyone had a clue who Alex Jones was.

    Read it again. I didn't call anybody Alex Jones. You really think people called school shootings "staged" before seeing Alex Jones say it? Nobody with half a brain believes these things are staged for the purposes of gun control...that's a dumb Alex Jones take.

    Oh, I didnt see that he/she thought it was "staged", yeah thats insane and stupid. People just jump on the gun control garbage anytime there's a shooting. I knew a guy that thought the Sandy Hook shooting was staged...just incredible, can't even imagine.

    The fact you mention Alex Jones means you must watch him. I don't. What I'm mentioning comes from folks way above your pay grade and I conduct my own research. The media is nothing but a production. Believe what you want to believe. When guns are taken away. I genuinely wish you and your family/friends nothing but the best.

    You'd think a thread on a board about the HOUSTON Rockets would have more people defending their 2A rights.

    We're all big fans of statistics here, aren't we? James Harden, CP3, LeBron, eFG%, win shares, etc...

    go look at the CDC report for self-defense use of firearms

    Thank you. Please help the uneducated masses and provide us with resources and links for finding out the facts about these staged school shootings.

    Don't do em like that.

    I've noticed the people who push gun control, don't really grasp this common knowledge.

    They want to spout facts to make their claim, but when the other side of the facts absolutely dwarf theirs, it's shut up shop time and they don't want to hear it.

    Can we respect the board and not discuss this in the dish?

    In Houston? A couple of months ago. Guy in the law district had gun, shot someone, tried to shoot more, got shot by a random civilian.

    You’re never going to hear about a mass shooting if they mass shooting doesn’t happen because it’s stopped by a good guy for crying out loud.

    Stop living under a rock and walk outside occasionally.
