I'm Not Emeril: Open Thread on Gun Control.

I'm Not Emeril, came up with a really good idea. He says...

Use the comment section to describe a new, tougher gun law that would have prevented any of the school shootings in our country's history. Or. for that matter, any shooting involving victims in a "gun free zone", whether it be a school, airport, government building, courthouse, store or restaurant.

Use your liberal imagination. Unleash your progressive thoughts. We are all anxious to hear your ideas.



I really would to hear an answer to his questions, so i strongly recommend you check it out and comment. I think this is a very fair and needed question to ask.

More Madness

I am from Henrico county Va Yesterday a student from my neighboring county of Hanover, wore a T-shirt saying "Cho seung-hui, is a national hero" He was sent home, and is facing possible expulsion. What posseses a child to do something like that? His claim is it is his "freedom of speech", well sadly for him the schools have won numerous lawsuits, when it comes to there enforcing of a extremly lenient dress code. In addition, yesterday I was playing Halo for compuer online, and a guy got on and his user name was Cho Seung-hui, he started making comments of how it was him who murdered those at tech, sadly for him that pissed me and a friend off and we got in banshees and pretty much owned...but what possess people to do stuff like that, the guy on the computer was a wuss, I really don't think he would have EVER done that if it was in person if front of real humans, but the kid with the shirt...what statement are you trying to make, I keep hearing about bomb threats, kids with guns in schools, and even a group of people that said what Cho Seung-hui did was great, and were going to do something similar, they had the equipment, but htey got caught...we live in a depraved world, and no i won't buy that i am being pessimistic by looking only at the "bad" and not seeing the "good"

"All have turned away, they have together become worthless; there is no one who does good, not even one. Their throats are open graves; their tongues practice deceit.
The poison of vipers is on their lips. Their mouths are full of cursing and bitterness. Their feet are swift to shed blood; ruin and misery mark their ways, and the way of peace they do not know. There is no fear of God before their eyes."


this is what I see in the world...for those of you who don't know that was a Bible verse taken from romans chapter 3:12-18. After hearing about these events and after thinking about it for a bit, these verses are what came to mind... Continued...

Prayers for Va Tech.

My heart goes out to all of those at VT. I was watching the news yesterday, and it just kept getting worse and worse...I have been their campus at least 3 times, and know every building they were talking about on the news, the feeling of "oh my gosh I have been there" was insanely discomforting. I have stayed at AJ, i have walked by Norris, but i can't imagine what those students are going through right now. All i can say is this is a sad time for our country as a whole, and although it will not happen on all fronts, I am pleased to see people are trying to keep the politics out of this. My prayers go out to all of those who either lost a family member or friend, teacher or student, or anyone who is hurting right now, may God comfort you in your great time of need. If there was ever a time to look to God for help, now is that time. Continued...
