Where's that dotkade person who was so tired of all the hoops gun owners had to jump through to exercise their god given rights to murder people?

[Jay Lerner-Z]

He's over on the main board enquiring about Phantom tickets. Priorites, y'know.

He's a he? I had a vision of a gal from the Faces of Meth website and a Hello Kitty revolver.

The unfortunate Kids on the ends are the most at risk. You think a shooter will not just shoot from the side when confronted with this? Let us not work on gun control but find a new way to make a buck off of the paranoia people are feeling.

Last night's shooting and killing were in Newark, I believe.

Hey you gun people - you say you need guns for your own protection. Hmm, how often do we hear about anyone who successfully used their gun for their own protection? I can't think of any. How often do we hear about gun violence and killing? EVERY DAY.

You are more likely to get killed by a right-wing terrorist than a Muslim.

I think what's happening is that sentient and realistic people who know this country's gun habit is out of control have collectively grown depressed. Because we now realize that we can't even have discussions about any meaningful changes without the guns coming out, literally. It is clear that the country is being bullied into doing nothing by people who will shoot anybody who thinks they shouldn't have their guns.

I'm also thinking the membrane between "responsible gun owner" and "deranged person with a pointed gun" is a thin one. In EVERY circumstance.

There a suicide at a gun range in Vacaville, CA today. The shooter was legally able to rent the gun - without a background check - and use it on himself. No one else was injured.

Federal law says that background checks must be performed for purchasing weapons but not on renting weapons that don't actually leave the property. It's not known weather the shooter knew this.

Namo, that is exacty what I feel, even my Teaxan half brother and his 19 year old daughter have bullied me over my "New York Liberal" view on gun regulation. Keeps reminding me why I disowned them.
