Fuck.  How do you LIVE like this??

Will you stop selling fear yourself! This is the shit that sells more guns. Making less guns, banning big clips and spray weapons is no different than not allowing monster trucks on public highways. Now I defy you to show me where in that statement I said "ban all guns".......Nobody said take away all guns, but we do have a flooded market and you are right we do have a huge boner for guns, THAT is the worst part, far too many people worship guns as if the gun itself was a human with rights.

Why are you on Boru's case for this??? Seriously???

And sadly, Texas and Georgia get buried in the conversation.

Oh how safe we would be if everyone was armed! Right!

Makes me just want to stay inside forever. That's not going to happen, obviously, but just knowing that shootings just seem to be increasing all the time, makes me not want to live on this planet anymore.

If it weren't for the fact that I have to type out more notes in school tonight, I wouldn't be going in at all.

Are they really increasing or has it become such a spotlit issue that the media is now covering it more and more?

(I don't know the answer)

There has been more mass shootings in the country as of today in this year than there has been days in the year as of today.  So it averages at least one mass shooting per day.

This is supposed to be a case of workplace violence.  One of the shooters worked there or had ties to the conference center.
