Scratching your car is a real shame. Someone who loves animals flunking out of their last semester in veteranary school is a real shame. Sleeping through your senior prom would be a real shame.
Mass murder, basically warfare on our own citizens, is not just a shame, it's a horrendous crime, and following the seemingly endless stream of these events that have cost so many of our people's lives, it needs to END.
Regarding concealed carry: nothing like crossfire in a dark, packed theater. There's a great idea. Do you think we should all be able to walk around with concealed assault weapons, I wonder?
There is no rational self defense use for automatic and semi-automatic weapons. Limiting them in no way interferes with a real sportsman or person interested in self and family defense.
A rifle or a pistol can't kill as many of our citizens as fast.
The right to bear arms is certainly valid, but what about the rights for the rest of us (and you) not to be victims of mass homicide?
And welcome to DU.
