And we as a society have laws that allowed this nut to buy his guns legally at Gander Mountain and Bass Pro Shops.

With all due respect, such platitudes are a cop-out and will do nothing to solve the issues of gun violence in our country. At least NYC Mayor Bloomberg had the balls to say something other than the platitudes offered by nearly every other active politician in this country:

“You know, soothing words are nice, but maybe it’s time that the two people who want to be president of the United States stand up and tell us what they are going to do about it, because this is obviously a problem across the country.... I mean, there are so many murders with guns every day, it’s just got to stop. No matter where you stand on the Second Amendment, no matter where you stand on guns, we have a right to hear from both of them concretely, not just in generalities — specifically what are they going to do about guns?” He said gun violence is “killing people every day, and it’s growing, and it’s not just an inner-city, East Coast, West Coast, big city phenomenon. Aurora is not a big city.”

I damn some gun owners, perhaps more than most, but I am dispassionate about it.

If shovels indiscriminately killed people I'd want shovels regulated.

When are you going to figure it out, Rob? Guns don't kill people, people kill people. Although, he might have had a more difficult go if it trying to kill all of those people with a hat pin...........

Yep. The NRA will somehow try to make the argument that the audience is at fault because they weren't all packing heat.

Gotta keep the dues money coming in somehow.

So the possessed kids who attacked their school (they failed in their original plan btw, it could've been much worse) had their guns legally?

Guns don' kill people. People with guns kill people. I am sure the asshole passed the wait period with flying colors.

Which part of this equation is actionable? The easy availability of guns.

It's just a terrible tragedy and I would glady surrender all my guns if it would
save even one life. I have to question whether or not the media should give
it this much national coverage. Every nut case and wack job in the country
has been watching this all day and I wonder whether or not the bar
shooting in Tuscaloosa this week may have helped push this psyco over the
edge?
