Condolences but most americans see guns as freedom and therefore will fight the obvious solution

same thing,same way and same speech every time the virgina tech shooting,the cinema shooting now the Connecticut shooting I don't see the gun control bill being talk about in the american houses of assembly and the politicians knows why, some people manufacture guns, some sell them and some sponsor the politicians with profit from gun sale during elections!!! Btw over 300million guns is in circulation already in america and how can they control such?

I've been trying to understand what what inspires those people that go on a shooting spree killing innocent people especially young school children. Is it a mental problem or what. This has become a trend in America and the US government need to look into it.

cyril83: dont personalize my quote...God'spirit might be right there with you but definately not with a country that takes shower with innocent blood everyday

And you stop generalizing your thoughts.

Just as the Spirit of God is here with me, it's also with millions of other Nigerians who are as good and innocent as me.

Speak for yourself, if you think that the Spirit of God is not with you, fine, but it's with me and other good Nigerians.


Bottom line: God is still in Nigeria and in Africa as a whole.

ayox2003: Gun control! Gun control!!

Ha! When will they scrap this law?

Data shows that 12,000 people are killed from shootings every year because of this stupid "arm-urself-mentality" in the US

Meanwhile in Japan, 9 people die every year from shootings because its against the law for any citizen to have a gun.

See the difference?

From the lunatic who sent people to their early graves at the theatre to this one.

There is no Xanadu or Shangri-la in this world - "freedom" comes with some ills. They should just scrap it.

May their young souls rest in peace.



Frawzey

And in 2008 in Japan... Only 2 gun-related deaths occurred...

eldoradoxx: Who says that GEJ has never wept openly for a calamity in Nigeria, I saw pix of weeping GEJ after 25 2011 Madalla church bombing when he visited the site and saw the devastation, also at crash site of Dana air, he was wiping tears away. But weeping to me is more of show of human emotion and has got nothing to do we good governance. Who says that Robert Mugabes of this world, and their likes don't weep too!!!

I saw that pix 2 but some piple was saying that he is pretending

IF THE SHOOTER HAPPENS TO BE A MUSLIM I KNOW WHAT MUST OF YOU WILL SAY 'TERRORIST'...MAY THE KIDS' SOULS REST IN PEACE...AMEEN

Secretary Clinton suffers concussion, faints...

My heart goes out to Americans at this time.

What is the relevance of this thread

now you see nairalanders?
making light the situation. some are even commending obama for weeping. no one is actually seeing the huge security laps. people are downplaying this fact, that any body can get killed in the streets of America. If this happened in Nigeria, People will insult the president and accuse him of being responsible. no one is seeing how insecure the world is turning out to be.

the comments here underscores how insincere and hypocritical Nigerians are.

Americans been armed is what is protecting them, even in Nigeria where there is no arm yourself law people still die from bullets. An armed society is a secured society and don't think without the right to be armed law that these things won't haPpen.

The people who are so desiring to see guns out of america are serioulsy behind this shooting just to have more reasons to support themselves.

Not true. That is what the NRA will want to have you believe, but there is no proof of that.

They have an effective police force, people with just 'shooting range' and video game experience don't need to walk around with guns policing themselves.

I thought they said their police is one of the bests in the world?
If their police are actually performing well, why should civilians be allowed to get armed?

Ucheosefoh: I saw that pix 2 but some piple was saying that he is pretending

pretendin becos he is Gej, not so?

I am one of the advocates of gun control, but gun control would not have prevented this or the Oregon Mall shooting.

In both cases the guns were legally obtained, register but stolen by the perpetrators. In the school shooting, the guy first shot and killed his mother, who was the legal owner of the gun.

America's pride themselves about their second amendment right to keep and arm themselves with gun. This is not a law that congress or Obama change and constitutional amendment of this, is a nonstarter in the US.

All that Obama or congress can do is to put some strong gun control laws in the books in some State. Connecticut is in the East Cost; East Cost States have the toughest gun control laws in the US already and virtually little or nothing else can be done in these States regarding gun control safe for banning guns, which will be unconstitutional and the Supreme Court will strike down any law that ban gun ownership.

The US constitution allow citizen to keep and bear arms, Police can do nothing about it.

Police are there to police illegal activities, owning, keeping or bearing arms is not illegal but each State have their various gun control laws, like background checks, licensing, registration, limitation on where to use it, conceal carry-on, etc.

If a Police stops me, in my State; am not obligated to tell them that am carrying a gun. However, if they want to search my person or my car, which I can refuse except they find a probable cause...if they find a gun during the search, all I have to do is to show them my gun permit and I will be on my way.

No country's police is the best, what happened in CT was a security lapse and its clear.

Tears of a hypocrite!
Na today?

Why must you be allowd to bear arms at all? Are d guns meant to be toys? Why wud people see d need to buy sophisticatd arms to protect themselves if they had faith in d State and its security apparatus (police, FBI etc) to protect them like we seem to bliv here in Nigeria? That i bliv was d guy's point.....all d talk of 'Constitutnal rights' et al is just long tori..

taharqa: GBAM!!

Comparing this situation happening in Nigeria with the the US is like comparing apples to oranges.

It is perfectly legal to own gun in the US, it is a 2nd amendment right and Obama can do nothing about it.

This guy's mother legally obtain these guns, but somehow the son got hold of the gun and first shot and kill the mother before going on this shooting spray.

If a Police Inspector or someone who owner a gun is overpowered and dispossessed of that gun, get killed and the killer goes on shooting spray in Nigeria, I do not think anyone will blame GEJ or the State government.

cyril83: we are talking of tears from the veins not that of mercy johnson tears...I mean pretence

shut up!
You are not making sense.

Brisingr: see this guy no president cry pass GEJ

misterh: , *wept*
@topic, to guard against future occurrence, the issue of Gun Control needs to be given serious consideration. RIP to those young and innocent souls!

cyril83: gbagaun

rastamouse:

Lmaooo....sori guys it was a mistake and thanks for your observation/correction.

A country that has faith in its security system,has not business being armed.

Still waiting for that day GEJ will cry because B/H killed school children

At cyril83 what is wrong with you. You said GEJ have never wept you where given evidence he have wept you said is not from the bottom of his heart. You people should leave Gej alone.

The police, FBI, CIA, President, Congress, etc are government...the US constitution was primarily written to protect citizens against the government and the government cannot take those rights away even if it provides similar services to the citizen.

This was rooted in the up raising against British rule in the US, which was another government. So since that up raising was done by ordinary citizens, the constitution of the US unlike any other constitution in the world give citizens the right to bear arms and raise against any unpopular government in the US or foreign in the future.

The Supreme Court have recognize this basic right hence congress or the President cannot outlaw gun ownership however they can regulate it on limited bases.
