Really, this post is beyond insulting. I would have alerted on it but figured it's better to leave as is, to show people how truly desperate gun advocates are.
"If we can afford trillion dollar wars..." Well, we can't afford those wars, can we? We can't even afford basic infrastructure maintenance. We've been slashing school budgets for years, and you want to spend what, eight billion, ten billion a year, all to protect the interests of the manufacturers of "the Bushmaster man card" and those deluded enough to believe they NEED them?
But getting back to the main point, calling folks with whom you disagree "as insane as the shooters" is really over the top. I think you owe folks on this thread an apology.
