I expect there are several triple gun homicides every week in the US

nt

include these two cases:

a domestic murder-kidnapping in which a man murdered three in order to kidnap his 4-yo daughter

Incidents with a domestic or romantic flavor seem most common

worship guns much?

I propose reasonable regulation of guns. For starters, registration of all semi-automatic weapons and strict accountability for those weapons.

"For starters, registration of all semi-automatic weapons and strict accountability for those weapons."

Would this be by the Federal or State governments?
What guarantees would you include to prevent arbitrary confiscations?
How would you enforce this plan. To make sure that all qwners obeyed this law?

I find gun nuttery painfully repulsive. You wear something I find repulsive like a badge of honor.

I noticed that you have completely ignored the body of the message. This is typical of people of your ilk. Ignore the questions asked, and go straight to the insults.

Please answer the questions, and perhaps we could have a civilized conversation.

because the charges of murder wouldn't dissuade him but the thought of also getting a fine for violating the terms of his gun-registration would . . .

could have been correlated.

Or for that matter after (although it is strongly implied by his actions).

How would a gun registry correlate with a potential future medical diagnosis? Are gun-registries not bound by the laws of space and time? If so could we just allow unfettered access of guns to anyone and use this magical time-traveling registry to root out pre-crime and stop murderers before they can hurt anyone?

It seems criminal to only use this magic to record who is going to commit a crime in the future rather than preventing that crime from occurring.

be accomplished by the registration of semi-automatic weapons?

Ban strippers.

Cuz everybody knows, titties make u b toopid.

that aren't considered "news" in the U.S. If you want to cherry-pick those that you find offensive I guess that's your prerogative.

There's only so much time in the news cycle, after all. The only think I find offensive is that they always seem to have plenty of time to go on and on about who won the last round of Idol or Dancing With the Stars.
