If it came to a choice between living in a safe civilized society and being awash in firearms in a free for all public shooting gallery for the sake of an outdated concept of frontier liberty, we go with duck and cover, just because.
I'd happily give up my theoretical right to someday perhaps have my own tactical nuclear arsenal thanx to the NRA for a safe and sane society.

Have we not just discovered that one of the Marines was armed?

That didn't just magically fix the problem? (sigh)

Getting firearms out of the hands of idiots will make society safer.

More civilized? I doubt it - just the same idiots without weapons.

Sadly true. The future ain't what it used to be.

Gun-toting citizens are showing up at military recruiting centers around the country, saying they plan to protect recruiters following last week's killing of four Marines and a sailor in Chattanooga, Tennessee.

The citizens, some of them private militia members, said they're supporting the recruiters, who by military directive are not armed.

"We're here to serve and protect," Clint Janney said Tuesday, wearing a Taurus 9 mm handgun as he stood in a parking lot across from a recruiting center on the west side of Columbus. "What the government won't do, we will do."

I'd say, with that one picture, we have the French 'caraciture' of Americans revealed as starkly, horribly TRUE!
