Listen, I'm not saying I want to see Sandy Hook Part II but another 20 or 30 dead kids would really dress out my balance sheet.


This sentiment here really sums up the reality of the situation.

Every time there's a mass-shooting, there are perfunctory cries for harsher gun controls, followed by a run on guns and ammo, shooting prices through the roof, and really boosting the profit margins of both the manufacturers and the dealers.

But really, if Sandy Hook couldn't get stricter gun controls passed in this country on a national level, what does Mother Jones honestly think could?

If anything, sensationalist reporting by Mother Jones is only contributing to the frenzy.
