[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The funerals of those poor children are going to be heartbreaking.

Our country is such a pathetic embarrassment.  [/quote]

I don't know - maybe it is a coping mechanism but I see hope for our country in the way that people from all over the political spectrum are in agreement this can never happen again.   The usual suspects on both sides will try to divide us for their own benefit and distract us from the real issues  - but I think there is a real momentum for change that the politicians are going to have to respond to.  Bringing back the assault weapon ban would pass by a landslide right now if put to the vote.  We have midterms coming.[/quote]

I think I’ve been missing some news reports you have been watching. [b]Everyone always agrees this should never happen again[/b]. That’s not the problem. The problem is how you go about stopping it. All I’ve been seeing is the gun nuts saying more defensive measures and armed guards are needed at ‘soft targets’ (aka - every single public space in the entire country). [/quote]

Plenty of people say mass shootings are horrible but are [b]the cost of preventing tyranny by [/b]having an armed populace.

And a lot of the people who say that get a lot of representation in the Senate. [/quote]

Tyranny is when the majority is ruled by a minority opinion. Tyranny is when we are unable to feel safe in a public place.[/quote]
