At the posters profile - Gun Enthusiast based upon posting stats.

Nothing wrong with that - probably an expert on their usage.

But those of us that have lost family members due to one bullet, from one handgun, in the hands of one bad guy - we have an expertise too. And that needs to be acknowledged.

I was very clear on a thread in META that Sandyhook did not change my feelings on the issue. My feelings got changed when I was senior in high school and lost my cousin that was a Senior at University to one bullet, shot from one handgun, by one dirtbag.

It was a tragedy when a young black man who had value and worth in this world got murdered by bullet from a gun shot by a little punk trying to impress someone. And the tragedies just seem to keep coming. Between Trayvon Martin and a school teacher shielding children - I'm done.

Dirtbags exist - and we need to prevent them from buying bullets.
