But it is the guns. Metal detectors and perimeter controls arenât going to stop an armed maniac from shooting kids. Just like common sense wonât stop a Fox maniac from shooting his mouth.

STFU, Hannity. Who asked you to run your stupid mouth?
"The left's rush race to blame guns for every tragedy, it's sad and pathetic." From where I sit, you're sad and pathetic.

(24,857 posts)There is no acceptable excuse for owning one in light of how many treasured children & adults have had their lives snuffed out in mass shootings. If we lived in a just world assault weapons would have been outlawed after the first mass school shooting in Columbine.
Nobody on the face of this earth should own an assault weapon. It's not for hunting or self-defense. Its sole purpose is to kill as many people as possible in as short a time as possible.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?
This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
