7. Everybody has to live with the decisions they make.

The 10 people that were injured made a conscious decision to be in a place they knew guns were present. That's 10 people who now have buckshot in their asses. Me, I chose to come home after work, cut the grass, have a few beers with the neighbors and watch a hockey game. I don't have buckshot in my ass so who made the right decision? I'm kinda like the guy who declined the invitation to go duck hunting with Dick Cheney. If you choose to be around guns this shit eventually happens. That's exactly why I choose not to.
