Didn't we just go over the color yellow example? A person could steal a gun in Switzerland, as the perp did, just as easily as they can here.

Could they? Shit, I didn't think of that! Your right! We better ban guns to make sure that doesn't happen! Thank god you were her to point that out.

And yet, where people "CAN'T" steal guns, there are more homicides. Looking at you, UK/entire rest of Europe.
I love how people seem to think that all of Europe is one big hivemind or something.  I mean, there's that whole EU thing, but the member countries are rather diverse and each have different laws and cultures.

Wait what? Where are you getting your figures? The US has nearly four times as many homocides per capita than then UK.

So... did the governor of the state that this happened in just get up in a church and say how great it is to be Christian, basically?

I wouldn't bet on anyone having seen whatever news article you're referring to.  This thread is going so fast I'm pretty sure everyone currently in the discussion has just been hitting f5 and then rapidly typing in hopes their point will still be relevant by the time they hit post.

I'd just like to point out that Huckabee made a complete ass of himself by claiming that the shooting was caused by "removing god from our schools".

That's... kinda' hilariously untrue. If it were even remotely accurate, you'd be seeing the same level of illegal gun violence (read: violence via stolen weapons) in switzerland that you do in the states. Which, you don't. They've got fairly decent gun control policy over there, even with the high ownership levels, and more importantly a quite vastly different societal situation. The state's practices are... somewhat notably worse.

But of course...he could have used his magic Shield of Faith to block the bullets. If only they hadn't lined the school walls with God's one weakness -- pure atheistine ore!  DAMN YOU, DOCTOR LIBERAL!!

Wait... what? Did he really say that? Dear sweet Christ, I want him to die if he did. Rich cunt turns everything into a soapbox to preach on, with no point and including entirely fictional arguments to contend against.

Things like this make me too sad to even cry.

I don't know, I just somehow picture that in Hochabee's world that God himself would have came down to stop the shooting.

A pleasant image but a fictional one nontheless.

Yes.  1:02 if you don't want the run up.

While speaking with Fox New's Neil Cavuto, Huckabee answered the question, "How could God let this happen?" by saying, "We've systematically removed God from our schools. Should we be so surprised that schools have become a place for carnage because we've made it a place where we don't want to talk about eternity, life, responsibility, accountability?"

Before this nonsense I actually kind of liked him.  I disagreed with him a lot, but he was always polite when he debated people, and seemed at least a little bit reasonable.  I can't forgive him for that kind of statement though.

I don't know if he's made such statements in the past, I'm just remarking on the few time's I've seen him on TV in the past.

Who needs a soapbox to stand on when you have dead kids to fill the role!
