If your first reaction to shootings is.....

[Old Crow]

29. Excuse me, but what exactly are you doing in this thread?

This thread is for commenting on a graphic that makes the timely point that recognition of others suffering should be the first reaction on hearing of a mass shooting, as opposed to the urge to gun hoard.

Simple enough sentiment; that's what I'm hear to express.

You, on the other hand, seem to have some particular interest in fear. Some of your statements:

#3. "What are you all afraid of? Is it because the government and the police can't protect you...? You should be afraid."

#5. "You think you can't be murdered? Any one of us is the next victim. Being afraid of another NRA supported mass murderer is quite natural... So don't hand me this you are not in fear."

#11: "You don't fear being shot?"

#16. "Don't be ashamed of fear, or of being fearful. Fear is natural and rational. Seems only shooters are the only ones not in fear of being shot."

#20. "The point is: all of us are in danger. All of us."

Honestly, you seem awfully fixated on fear.

You asked if I'm a "proud gun owner." Aside from an air rifle in my teens, I've never owned a gun in my life, nor do I have any interest in owning one.

How about you? Do you own a gun?
