What will it take for Americans to take gun control seriously?

In the wake of the Virginia Tech atrosity, what else has to happen in order to make Americans seriously look at our gun control laws. I understand hunters need to hunt and they can all keep there rifles and shotguns. Sorry but the uzi's and automatic weapons need to go away.


Also we need a little more then a green card, checkbook, and a water bill to buy a gun.


And lets get rid of all the metal detectors infront of congress and the whitehouse. Let the people who make these ridiculous laws go to work like the rest of us do.


I understand the right to bear arms, howerver if you read a little further, it means americans have the right to form a militia. So that we could go fight the army if need be. Well if civilian had to go up against the army today, it would be as ridiculous as hunting a deer with a uzi.





Can we please try to learn and grow from this horrific event?What will it take for Americans to take gun control seriously?
The reason we have guns is to be able to overthrow the government should it become oppressive I don't want to fight against a M-16 with a rock.What will it take for Americans to take gun control seriously?
ok. the vt gun masacre used two semi-automatic handguns. why are you talking about uzis when they weren't even used? now, think about this, would it have made a difference if the teachers and trained students had firearms? yes. students themselves even said they would have carried firearms.

also, if you really think about what a militia was back then, you would understand that owing a firearm is an individual's right. the reason that amendment is in the bill of rights is because they were pissed when the british would go into their houses and take their guns.

instead of looking at gun control, I think mental disorders should be looked at. The reason this guy killed students was not because he had a gun, but because he had a mental disorder. Even if he didn't have a gun, he could have kick them in the head a hundred times (one by one obviously).

I take it quite seriously. I seriously resist any efforts at creating more useless gun laws.
seems six years of fascist oppression in america isn't enough to wake some people up. our right to arms precedes the us constitution. isn't it a good thing? if not for guns in the hands of patriots, there would be a union jack flying outside your junior high school. read some of those books.
Have you been watching The View?
We take it very serious. It is a bad idea to even consider gun control. You take everyones guns and then only the criminals will have them. I have several and I will never give them up.
If guns were allowed on this campus, perhaps, there would have been a law abiding gun carrying citizen around to take this crazy gut out.





Crazy people with an agenda and criminals set on a crime do not obey laws and would get a gun in spite of the law.


Just like drug addicts can get illegal drugs.





The people who are responsible and obey the gun laws are the only ones effected from banning guns.





The largest school autocracies was in 1918 in Chicago where a deranged person used dynamite to bomb a newly opened school. 68 children died. He also called himself an anacrhist. Should we have baned dynamite?





Was this deranged murder in VA using an automatic weapon or Uzi?? Quit using every disaster as an excuse for banning guns. Also I haven't surrendered to an oppressive government.


quite yet. Too bad that you have already given up. You would make a good Nazi or communist. They didn't allow guns either. Just another brick in the wall.
I agree that the Virginia incident is horrific.


However, tighter gun laws will not curb such incidents.


When someone comes to the unfortunate point of breaking, and going completely psycho, they are going to do just that.


Short of predicting the future and apprehending violent criminals before they act, it is unreasonable to think we can prevent the act.


I believe that if a person gets it in his/her head to do something ';crazy,'; they will find a way to do it. If they can't find a gun, they'll build a bomb, etc...


The best prevention I can think of is in how we raise our children. I am not saying that this guy's parents, or any other criminals' parents, are responsible for the acts of their offspring. I am saying that we owe it to ourselves, our children and our communities to raise good citizens.

You seem to be one of the few Americans who has actually read the Second Amendment. That's what it will take, reading and understanding the Second Amendment.
I agree with you to a point. No civilian should have access to rapid fire arms. To have a hunting shotgun or rifle doesn't mean that you are any safer though. They have also been used to kill people.


Who knows the answer? Americans love their guns! It seems that we will never rid ourselves of all the guns in this country. But we should try to keep the really dangerous ones out of the hands of civilians.

Do women have the right to take birth control pills if their husband forbids it?

The answer is simple and the answer is NO. I am hoping most people will agree with me on this. I'll explain why. When two people marry, they become one. That ';one'; has one leader and he is the husband. The wife's duty is to accept his leadership with all due respect.Do women have the right to take birth control pills if their husband forbids it?
Yes of course they can it's their body their right and who is the husband to forbid it?





In a marriage I think both couples should discuss birth control and agree on it but if that doesn't happen then the woman can do what she likes with her body.





HarrietDo women have the right to take birth control pills if their husband forbids it?
What is wrong with you??? What age are you living in?? Unfortunately for you I doubt any body with half a brain in this day and age will agree with a single thing you are saying. There is no such thing as a leader in a marriage, such archaic belief is what has over centuries led to men abusing women. I hope for all our sakes that you are just wasting time and don't really believe in what you are asking
Hells no just because you man dont mean you can boss her around. Honestly, she will probably end up leaving you in the long run, and if she doesnt leave you, she will probably stop loving you. You need to change something here, not her. Think about respecting her, she is a person just like you are and she has feelings like everyone else. And she is your wife, not your *****...so grow some balls, step up and be a man...not a little pu**y.
uh, sorry.


They share leadership.


If the Woman chooses to take Birth Control, then she has her free agency.


The Husband has no reason to forbid it.


Its not like its a Dad Forbidding his daughter.


The woman is an adult, and can choose for herself. The husband does not have the power to say that she cannot take them.



That is a subject that should have been discussed before marriage.





That way, the woman wouldn't marry the bonehead in the first place and not have to deal with a divorce.





Woman's body, woman's choice.
Ultimately a man will not: A. Carry the fetus to term, B. Be placed in a situation he is not ready for, C. Has no right to forbid his wife to do anything with her body, D. A woman is not chattel property; she is a human being and should make her own decisions
I hope noone takes this question seriously. It's just a setup to start a fight. Don't buy into it people.





However TruthSeeker 2020 should get off his or her lazy butt and get in the kitchen and make me some dinner.
Yes, they join, but No One is the master. They are equals with their own rights. If the woman is not ready to have a child then that has to be respected.
You're talking about slavery, not marriage.





The answer: an emphatic YES.





Wake up from your stupid patriarchal myths. THINK. (I hope you're still capable of it.)






Ok Doc Brown where did you come from 1955 . you should have discussed the issue of children before you got married. a woman has the right to do as she pleases. just my opinion.
ugh, I seriously...


just ugh.





I am not even going to begin to explain how idiotically sexist that statement is.









Jeeze lady. This ain't a Muslim country.
uhh yes. its their body therefore their choice.


if their husband is forbidding it then hes too contolling and itll probably lead to a divorce


be thankful men dont have to give birth!!
You disgust me.


Someone, preferable your wife (if you even have one), should beat you until you conform.
A simple answer reflects a simple mind. Tap yourself on the head a few times with your club.
Attention wh0re.
Yes, she needs to be obedient to you, you got it rite~~! But why marry someone who may not want children~~?
your a frigging idiot, get a life. you pathetic loser
It's their body and you need to chill out
YES. He's not her boss
yes it is her body she has the final say
yes, they do.
how about u respect her and stop telling her what to do!
they have a brain they should use it at their own free will

Water in gas stove control panel, can I still use it?

I spilled water in the control panel of my gas stove (it works by turning on the gas, then it clicks until it lights). It started clicking by itself and then fire popped up under the knobs, which then was replaced by smoke. Once the smoke died down, I tried turning on one of the burners but it just caused more fire and smoking under the knobs.





Anyway I can fix this without calling someone?


Will it fix itself?


Will I be able to use it tomorrow?





Desperate for any help. Thanks.Water in gas stove control panel, can I still use it?
UN plug it, if it is plugged in, call a service tech. I would have said you could just wait for it to dry out but since you have already had a fire. call a service tech.





If it turns into a big deal, then call your homeowners insurance it should be covered as an accident.Water in gas stove control panel, can I still use it?
Turn on the Oven that will dry it out and try again. Nothing in there but a spark unit thats making the clicking noise. Dont be so scared of it.





Or you can use a fireplace ligher and light that burner with that. Then it will dry itself out.





Gas company comes out and investigates and such as problem as yours fixes it on the spot for free.

Are ther husbands out there who love it when the wife takes control?

I am a little bossy with my husband. but he loves it. He knows it is with love and I am a pretty wife and a good cook too. Are ther husbands out there who love it when the wife takes control?
yes marriage 4 me is total love 4 that person if she SIDS jump i do because i love her to much c plus she is south american never argue with spanish people.c...Are ther husbands out there who love it when the wife takes control?
Please do not take offense with this, honey, but looks do not have anything to do with it, or how well you cook, but it is how you use it that counts.





Oh, and BTW, my husband likes it too, I guess that is why our marriage has lasted for 16 years and still going strong, I like it also, when we turn the tables, and he is a little ';playfully aggressive'; also.
Pretty wife and good cook doesn't cut it with me. Nobody bosses me not even my wife nor do I boss her.





She knows when smoke comes out of my nostrils too back off and leave me be.





I'm a loving husband with a rage hidden inside me that the last time a car pulled out in front of me and almost hit me with my wife and child in the car I pulled up and yanked this dude out of his car and beat the crap out of him. I went to jail for road rage.





Boss? I have no Boss, No Job, No worry, No Hurries. Retired 30 years USAF Veteran and loving it.
The secret of course is knowing when to stop because would you really want a yes man for a hubby? No of course same as would you want not want to demean him either.
Of course there are, especially when the wife does everything while hubby sits with feet up watching the TV. Is that really the wife taking control or the husband????
Of course there


May be he thing everything will be better if u take control. or he thing it doesn't matter as long as it not touch his ego
If he loves it then that's rare, because men don't like when anyone takes control.
SOME HUSBANDS DO AS LONG AS IT DONT GET OUT OF CONTROL CAUSE SOMETIMES IT MAKES A MAN FEEL SMALL IN HIS WORLD
so sweet of you...basically it depends upon mutual understanding!!!

When the government introduces population control, how will it work?

It's going to happen sooner or later with global warming, as global over-population is one of the major contributing factors to climate change.





What would be the criteria involved in having children? Should there be genetic screening first? How would population control be enforced? Through the tax system?When the government introduces population control, how will it work?
no 1)climate change has always been happening 2) as for population control; what do you think HIV/AIDS is about?


before you swallow this ';need for population control'; as gospel truth you should do some research on the ';Club of Rome';. They


have a blueprint to kill you.When the government introduces population control, how will it work?
perhaps the easiest means of population control is piggybacking female pregnancy hormones in the serums injected for other purposes, like rubella,tetanus, diptheria,hepatitus,polio,rabies,flu,blo鈥?thinners,coagulents,dental anesthetics,when administered to females of childbearing age, the hormone induces irreversible sterility..is this any less barbaric than nazi euthanasia of undesireables in the 30's+ 40's
Perhaps we could do it by education. People who are educated typically have fewer children. What's that song where they sing ';only stupid people are breeding...';
Anyone who has more than one child could be taxed an amount equal to the education and other services they will use till adulthood.





I don't believe in genetic screening, it smacks of Adolph Hitler.
I'd like to see it work like this;





Contraceptives get put in the water supply, but of a sort than can be unblocked by another compound rendering them inert.


to get the blocking compound, whoever wanted it would have to submit a written application, with an at least 25 word explanation as to why they wanted to have children. Then the applicant would have to pass a short multiple choice test, no harder than a GED exam, no easier than the written test for a driver's license.





While not a perfect plan, it might cut down on the number of idiots having little idiots running around.
Just like it did in China.


';one-child policy';
It's been in effect since the late 60's or so.





http://www.religiousconsultation.org/New鈥?/a>





Ironically, right now it is felt we need more, not less, and last year was a mini-baby boom. Yep, more babies born last year than since the 60's or so.





http://demographymatters.blogspot.com/20鈥?/a>
The current population control is - import Mexicans, export jobs, pollute the air and water, make health care unfordable and to have all the people living out in the streets.
Something like 3 strokes your out. There was a movie about this called solulent green. I know it is spelled wrong but you need to see the movie. Sweet Dreams

My girlfriends birth control fell out after sex, is it a possibility shes pregnant?

She uses the nueva ring birth control, and after sex it popped out and neither of us noticed. That was saturday. I just realized it came out today because I found it in my bed. She says that it last up to three hour after its been out so i dont know if that would be enough to stop anything from happening. My girlfriends birth control fell out after sex, is it a possibility shes pregnant?
sad enough theres no way of knowing for sure and no one here can answer that


wait and get a HPT and if all else fails see a doc








good luck hun


My girlfriends birth control fell out after sex, is it a possibility shes pregnant?
The ring contains hormones on it, and it works as soon as you put it inside. The hormones go through your bloodstream into you uterus. It works in the same way as the pill, and a short period without it shouldn't make it ineffective, however with all things birth control nothing is certain. How long have you been using this method of birth control?
If it lasts for three hours after its out, you still have a problem as sperm lives up to 5 days inside her body...if she misses her period, have her take a test or see the doctor.
unlikely hun, but u'll just have to wait to see if she misses her period next month

http://www.windowsitpro.com/Article/Arti鈥?/a>On my computer I click on the control panel and it does not pop up, can you help me get my control panel up?
Just open any window, either a My Documents window or browser also can. Then at the Address bar, type in this, Control Panel, then press enter. This should bring you to control panel.


Hope this help.:)
First of all, what were you doing just before you clicked on the control panel? Were you running any memory intensive programs? Second, have you scanned your computer for viruses or spyware? I use AVG Antivirus (freeware). You could also purchase Norton Antivirus and run it.
I'm not exactly sure, but try Ctrl+Alt+Delete. This will give you the task manager. Under proccesses search for control panel in abbriviated form. Either proccesess or applications.
if you have windows XP i know a way that i think will work....go to START then click on ACESSORIES then click SYSTEM TOOLS then SYSTEM RESTORE....this will let you restore your computer to an earlier time as early since you first got it or your last system restore
what version of windows do you have?
in xp you can go to my computer and look in the side bar for control panel. on any version of windows you can go to the start menu (under settings in 98) and click control panel.
