Their solution is for every man, woman, and child to carry a firearm. Obviously, if all those concertgoers had been armed, this tragedy would never have happened.

If Sandy Hook didn’t wake these people up, nothing will.
I keep thinking the only thing that might wake them up is if the Good Guy With A Gun either gets killed or kills innocent bystanders in a mass shooting.

In a world where misinformation continuously proves to be as present and influential as actual fact, no real world event or argument can ever truly empower a movement for change.

We've done a ton of research. We've been thinking about it for years.

By the time we get approved and move, we'll likely know some of the ramifications of Brexit.

There are quite a few white people in ISIS, and that is if you don't count Syrians as white. Some of their leaders are Islamic Russians. Even a few ethnic originally Christian Norwegians have converted and travelled there to fight for them, and same from other countries. There was also news a while back about some central European white girls travelling down there to marry ISIS fighters. Same thing happened with the Nazis in the 30s and early 40s. With ISIS all that matters is that you convert (truly) and fight for them.

Regarding semi automatic assault weapons (how ever you want to define them) the genie is out of the bottle in terms of getting them out of the public hands.

Trump seemed really shook when talking today. He will travel to Puerto Rico tomorrow, and then to Las Vegas on Wednesday.

Americans aren't about to turn their guns over to the government. That's what I was referring to when I earlier mentioned the genie is out of the bottle.

Way to ruin the joke! :P

I see the article about gun manufacturer stock prices going up after an attack and it mentions 'predictably'. That kind of skeeves me out. Wall Street looks at the shooting and says, "Wow! That was some great action. I gotta get in on this."?
