My first thought was that it was EODM's hometown, or thereabouts.

I guess my question is, is there a tipping point? How many mass shooting do there have to be? 1 a day? 2 a day? 1 a day in your town? At what point are you more afraid of your neighbors than your government?

If there was a tipping point, it seems like we're well beyond it.

Is the agenda by the gun lobby to make it so that everyone is armed?

Is Germany afraid of their government? I mean, if there was ever a country to be afraid of their government.....

Germany = 1.9 firearm homicides per 1 million people

U.S = 29.7

While I can see the twisted logic in that thinking it would only make things far worse.
Didn't hurt the tobacco industry either though

The NRA will use these type of events to fuel gun sales by harping on fear (you'll need a gun to really feel safe). Their lobbyists' will harp on government confiscation and round and round we go.

I'm not so sure this is "one of those types of events". Three shooters, AK-47s and black SUVS? This sounds like a whole nother level of insanity.

So do we Americans need more guns or more gun laws to stop this kind of thing? Because apparently doing nothing isn't working either.
