Those who speak of 'your rights' constitutional rights, to have guns

as many as you want whenever you want, with the firepower to kill as fast as you can pull the trigger, because you think the day may come that you'll need them to fight the 'government', whatever that straw-man may be,

did you ever think about the tens of thousands who die every year? Do you even care that they die?

The second amendment was written over 300 years ago, you think you can bastardize that amendment to suit your needs?

A big brave boy at work blurted out today everyone should be armed. THAT would have prevented the massacre at Newtown. I think that if everyone is armed more die, because bullies own guns too.

America is poisoned. And there is no antidote.

registered legal owner of the lethal weapon used in the next massacre.

Hordes of them are running to the stores, buying more and more lethal killing machines, hoping to see their name in the papers someday....


Sick, Sick, Sick. I do despair for my country.

"All the gun lovers to be the next Nancy Lanza." There is hyperbole, and then there's hyperbole. Your post is both the former, and the latter.

Not that I disagree with your points but this is a pretty big nit to pick.

2012 minus 1791 equals what?

should automatically be disqualified from buying guns because they already failed the psychological test an need help. The rest just don't give a shit about anyone else simply because they selfishly do not want to be bothered to change magazines at target practice.
If they believe they need to have 17 rounds in the magazine to protect their home can only believe they are going to be attacked by Zombies.

wer armed with real firearms shooting paintball-type projectiles. No one was able to pull and discharge the weapon when the shooting started. The most experienced shooter ducked and covered. (which is very smart, seek cover) but he failed to come up with his weapon and take out the shooter. plus, he had been fatally hit in the drill.

All the volunteer CCW subjects were struck by the shooter. None got a shot off to stop or prevent the shooting.

just sayin'

Just because the NRA datchit crazy right says CCW would have prevented this, or armed teachers would have prevented this actually believes the "good-guy" with the gun will automatically win...How stupid a belief can one posess?
