1. Well, it's a start.

I think it's just one of many gun shows held there, but at least this one's off.

2. Why?! They should fucking have it. Be proud!

Set up some auto shooting ranges full of pop bottles and watermelons! Good clean fun!

Buy one! Buy a dozen? Buy fifty!

It's your God given right!

4. Good.

Nice to see an example of good taste in the pro-gun community. Doesn't happen very often.

5. time to close the barn door now?

now that all the horses are gone, naturally

7. This is NOT

the time to cancel.

We have people to consider.

This discussion can happen after we have sold more weapons without any control as to who may buy them.

Then, if there happens to be another "incident," it will not be the time to discuss it - we need to show respect to the victims (well, at least those who have died, not those that may still be living with the fact that we cannot discuss it now - it is not the time.&quot

8. Oooohhhh it's the slippery slope

next Obama will be coming out of retirement to seize Dad's hunting rifle.

9. Obama and "the deep state".

10. This sort of thing has been done before...

after a killing. I believe the NRA's annual meeting was either moved or postponed, etc. after one killing. It's all for show. They'll have it as soon as the short-memory Americans "get over" this one. That's how they think of it. Meantime, even here on DU, some posters will say, "Good for them."

These sorts of actions do very little to stop this madness.
