makes sense now. I noticed in one of the pictures from the shooting scene that the spare tire holder on the back of the hummer was half arse hanging off.




Im wondering now if will smith didnt actually cause the 2nd accident also. hauling arse to get away and ends up slamming on his brakes causing hayes to hit him.

Youve obviously never been robbed.


its a helpless feeling I know that. I've been robbed twice and honestly the second time kept me from going out to bars for a long while. I love the night life but that second incident made me feel like a marked man.

I own a gun but I never carry it. I think after the second time I was just so pissed off I ended buying one and I don't really like guns to be honest. But I guess things like this make people react in different ways. I was pissed for a long time. But all the negative BS totally consuming you when you are just trying to chill alone is almost as worse as the actual event that put you there in the first place.

I dont have a concealed carry. I keep my gun at home to protect my family from possible invasions that seem to be the thing these days. Not like the good ol days when ppl waited for you to go to work to break in and steal your stuff. Now they kick the door down, tie you up and make you watch them hurt your loved ones while they destroy your home.

Some say ill just lock my doors, well thats cool but its all for peace of mind. Look at your door, the wood is what? 1/4 inch thick at the handle. My 13 year old daughter could kick through that.

I have a gun that other than at the range i hope i never have to use.

That's a disappointing stance to have.

Guns don't kill people, people kill people.

Guns and responsible ownership of them save lives.

I have a conceal carry license and a few guns.... But I very seldom carry and I'm sane enough to know what it's there for... I'm not looking to shoot everyone that confronts me with a problem, that's not my main reason for having one.... I have it for protection of my home and my family which is my right.... If you ban guns then ban shovels, knives, metal pipes, screwdrivers, hammers the list could go on and on... There are more guns in the U.S. than people.... And that's just legal registered guns.. Do you think they could confiscate all guns from law abiding citizens in today's world?... With a corrupt Government looking to own you in the future and other countries wanting to kill you?...I don think so but everyone has their right to their opinion.... I respect that.....

Anyone for gun control doesn't look at facts. People that want gun control are mindless idiots.

For all of you liberals that want Gun Control...wake up you idiots. Guns do not kill people. People kill people. The instrument used is just what it is an instrument used to kill someone. These are but just a few things used to kill people daily.

Cars
Alcohol
Tobacco

As sad as it is that this football player was gunned down and he happened to play for Sean Payton, now Sean wants to proclaim his hatred for guns. Its a reactionary statement, but I'd bet Sean is swinging to the left with his liberal ideas.

The problem isn't guns. Once again we have a black man killing another black man. It is so prevalent in big cities where there are large populations of blacks. Where are the black lives matter protests?

How do you fix it? Not by taking guns away from everyone. I have fought for my country for 24 years and I've earned the right to exercise my 2nd Amendment. I can, I do and I will always bear arms. I don't go around shooting people. I will defend myself if in a life threatening situation.

There needs to be a grass roots effort across our country that starts with blacks. Why blacks? Simple because 75% if not higher now are involved in gun violence more importantly against each other. It kills me to see this. Take Baltimore for instance...the shooting thing up there where the white cops shot a black man. The blacks nearly tore up the city over that, but you never heard peep out of them when another black in a drive by shooting killed an innocent little black child. No one protested that.

Its time blacks stop with the guns violence. Additionally we have a lot of whites that need to follow suit. This is not a tirade about blacks. I have many black friends who will stand behind me on this.

We must start by putting God back in our lives and in our classrooms where our children do learn. We never had all of these problems back in the day. Kids now days don't say prayer in school, they don't say the pledge, they are taught by liberals, there is no discipline and for sure no discipline or parenting at home. Kids are wayward from early ages and eventually many will fall into gang life where its prestigious to kill someone especially a rival gang member or a cop.

I can go on and on and on, but GUNS are not the problem. There is no moral fiber left in our country. We are supposed to be a unified country but sadly we have been driven to be divided even more so than ever before. I guess what the communist said during the cold war was true. We will take over America without ever firing a shot. They are winning people. There is more going on than football for some of you. Wake up.

The old adage is that guns don't kill people, people kill people. But guns make it easier for killers to be killers. If the guy who shot Will Smith only had a baseball bat, Smith's chances of surviving that incident are probably considerably higher.

I don't want to take away guns. I don't want to take away someone's right to own a gun, given they are vetted properly. But even vetting someone properly isn't an assurance that they won't do more harm than good with a gun. The problem is that people are nuts. And guns make it really easy for nutty people to be nuts.

I don't see the need for our citizens to be able to get guns like they can. It is patently absurd.


Law abiding citizens who own guns are typically not the problem, nor are the inanimate objects themselves. I don't see why the balance cannot be seen by the anti gun crowd, if someone is willing to murder someone over a traffic accident, they most likely won't worry too much about buying an illegal gun if stricter gun control is enacted.

You can't stop crazy. If guns didn't exist that crazy person would just find another way to kill Smith without his chances of survival increasing whether it was a gun or not being used.

I don't have problems with increasing things like more background checks and closing loopholes like making it legal to own recoil triggers that essentially make guns almost fully automatic...legally. Nobody needs something like that and hunters certainly don't. The last thing we need is more armed Joes who think they can save the world from a zombie apocalypse with his automatic weapon. Sure, it might be fun shooting them for recreation but if issues like this are ever going to get better you need to be willing to compromise a little instead of being self-entitled when it comes to gun control.

Maybe someone should tell CSP that abusing prescription narcotics is against the law too. Didn't stop him.
