Jim Boeheim used the pulpit to speak out against automatic weapons and in favor of gun contr

[TheChamps990411]

Champs I'm very anti gun personally but I've started to see the merrit in a lot of the pro gun arguments while researching over the last few days, especially when it comes to realizing how much damage can be done with the most minimally capable handguns. However the 2 vs 20 argument is discrediting every other point you are trying to make in my eyes. If there were a cure for cancer that saved 90% of those diagnosed would you not use it because it brought no solace to the 10%? Maybe it's not a perfect analogy but it's not far from what you are trying to say where I sit.


I'm not sure what the solution is at this point but what I feel strongly is that the fact we are all talking about it is good. Let's all practice patience and tolerance for each others views, layout the full optionset of actions that will bring positive change be it access to guns, regulation and registration, mental health and community. Let's reverse engineer all of these incidents over the last few years and put a plan together. Let's agree to reject the polarizing rhetoric that oversimplifies things to either extreme to sell tv and radio and print. This is not a one side will win out issue, we can only fix this through compromise.

My thoughts fwiw

Well said. Its typical of this board to focus in on the one thing that many may not agree with and completely ignore any other valid point i tried to make. i couldnt care less if my posts are ignored or looked down upon. its my opinion and i stand by what i said.

Your cancer analogy doesnt really apply but i give you credit for trying lol! Im just of the belief that 1 death is just too many nevermind 20 or 30. i think we can all agree its horrific and my biggest beef is only that people are hell bent on gun bans when i know for a fact and if you do the research youll see that banning assault rifles will do little to stop these massacres from happening.

ive given my ideas on how to prevent these types of tragedies from happening again and im sticking to it as i think its the best we can do given the circumstances.
