you ask questions that would probably be answered if you went beyond just looking it up and went on to do some reading. personally, i don't understand the concept of looking something up and then not reading it. is it a matter of just seeing if i've created a work of fiction here?

needless to say, i'm not going to hijack this post. i just thought it might worth noting that there may be more to this issue than the not so simple questions concerning gun control.

Thanks mate but I think I know what it means. I said it was naive because I hardly think the government is an organised gang brainwashing the victims of all worldwide tragedies and I'm giving you my opinion before I read any articles but I don't think I will bother afterwards.

I also posted a laughing smiley because I am FUN. You should try it sometime. It's apparently good.

Edit: I think I went overboard with the government, my bad.

For example: zevokes trying to draw a parallel between a government sanctioned experiment from the 50s-60's.... and Sandy Hook :crazy:

So, have neither one of you read anything about mk ultra?

What makes you think the program was ever legitimately ended?

The program began in the early 1950s, was officially sanctioned in 1953, was reduced in scope in 1964, further curtailed in 1967 and "officially halted" in 1973.

What makes you think I care if it was? Your speculation for how it relates to Sandy Hook is just that, speculation.

Attributing Sandy Hook to a government experiment is nothing more than a reaffirmation of some people's deep-seated distrust of authority

Correction: I never said there was any relation there.

For all we know maybe he was a "manchurian candidate" used to push the government agenda of banning guns in order to render society defenseless against a government overthrow.

I don't believe that, but it's possible. Don't think a government is capable of such evil things? History says otherwise. If it happened once, who's to say it can't happen again?

The main thing destroying America right now is the lack of gun control, and the joke of 20 gun stores in the ghetto has proven just as potent as ever since the 80s. Many attribute that to the wished destruction of the American minority.

That's the main thing destroying America? I find that hard to believe.

Oh well not the main thing but it is allowing school shootings and snappy homicides to take place more frequently than they would minus so many guns in so residences.
