I said nothing about guns. But yes you woke up on a different planet. That planet is going further to crap every day we all wake up.

You really believe God gave you the right to own a gun?

Yes it is a god given right...the constitution was written to protect that right, so the government does not try to take it away.

The guys that blow stuff up also believe in god. There are many gods. I guess all gods believe in guns, even thought when they were supposedly alive there were no guns. Makes sense to me.

Having a Gun would not have prevented the incident in Boston today. I hope they catch the SOB.

Read the whole thread you slacker! Had nothing to do about guns. Until someone mentioned that god said he wanted people to have them. Which god I'm not sure?

God didn't want us to have guns. He only wanted us to Love one another.
The "God-given right" thing,..... I've always thought to be a misunderstanding of the Declaration of Independence due to the "unalienable rights" mention from our "Creator".
Ugly world we've changed this Garden into. God help us all.

My little sister works for BAA and was right near this mess when it happened.
She had been sitting in the bleachers directly above one of the un-detonated devices that was found (it was found 30min after she moved). Watching the media coverage sure feels different when you have a personal connection.
So scary.
Cowards for sure.

OK - please take time to focus on the topic at hand - move the gun / political talk off to the appropriate places.

I think it happened when someone said to take away the guns - because that would of prevented this.

In the aftermath of this absolutley horrific act, its a positive to see the way the city is coming together. The city officials, law/fire, residents, all coming together and trying to help anyone that needs it. Really shows a sense of what our community is about. Now we just hope they catch this sick bastard and do unspeakable things to him.

One of those Founding Fathers Guppy claims would have provided "the instructions on how to change" once said: "Those who would give up Essential Liberty to purchase a little Temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety."
When people start saying "yes, please take my rights if doing so will provide me the illusion of being safe", the people that commit these acts of terror have won. During Katrina, most civil rights were stripped away. Illegal state-sanctioned confiscation of weapons took place and then the only people left with their weapons (law enforcement) were also the ones killing innocent people on bridges and in their homes. |

Hey did you hear? A bunch of people were killed and even more injured yesterday.
A little kid ran out to hug his dad and when he ran back he was blown up.
What I'm trying to say is, STFU. |

I was home working on my boat... fiberglassing the foredeck, enjoying the day and the red sox victory when the news came accross sports radio...having run that particular marathon 5 times ... I was thinking what can I do to help those that were experiencing such joy one minute and such horror the next...my only thought was to give blood.. something I do regualry anyway... I encorage others that want to help in some small way to do the same.... the blood you donate just might save a life...

Red Cross is taking donations, there's a huge network on reddit and twitter of people offering rides/airline miles to folks to get home, etc. etc.
A couple local joints are donating proceeds to Red Cross. |

Agreed. Politics and rhetoric should be set aside for at least 48 hours post incident. All this bull#^&#^&#^&#^& gun drama accomplishes nothing but creating more hard feelings.
Lets keep it where it belongs......the scuppers or political forum.

LW - wouldnt most people have tickets to get home already? How did this tradgey affect travel? I didnt think this was that widespread of an event where we had need for supplies (other than blood)? Im not being an ass, just dont understand from a logistics standoint. This wasnt an earthquake or a tornado. What supplies are needed> |

Folks who lost their stuff/ended up in the hospital and missed their flight/etc. etc.
Airlines are waiving reschedule fees thankfully so hopefully those that got stuck/missed flights for one reason or another are getting hooked up. |

In a recent thread I joked about hitting 100 posts,,,, someone called me a "rookie" LOL
YOU GOT THAT RIGHT!
If I'm not banned, I'll try not to speak when I'm P O'd again and apologize for creating a chit storm out of your original post JR.
Still P O'd, Gup

While I agree with you that the bs has no place here I am amused you selectively picked JDs post ( the only one that was well thought out ) to take your stand. Maybe you need to STFU
