No matter how responsible the NRA is, they were contributors to the carnage perpetrated in Seattle yesterday.
Not at all.
In fact more people having guns is one of the best defenses against such mass killings.
This is one of the six people that were killed......he is typical of them all. They were all pacifists. They did not stand a chance because you see, Tim, in a civilized society you shouldn't have to carry a gun. Unfortunately, militaristic people like yourself make that increasingly difficult with your extremist positions.
In fact, if we had it your way, we would turn into a mini Iraq.
I know, I know, Tim, it all sounds like a lot of nonsense to you.That's how you keep from getting very deep into the issue and seeing its real ramifications.
Jason Travers remembered as gentle man, good listener

Jason Travers, 32 Travers' mother called him "Atlas" because he worried so much about others that he seemed to carry the weight of the world. His family remembers him for his gentle way of life.
Friends and family of 32-year-old Jason Travers, one of the victims of the Capitol Hill massacre, remember him as a good listener and gentle man.
Travers had worked as a clerk at Madison Market, a food cooperative on Capitol Hill, since 1999. He was one of two people employed at the market who died Saturday morning.
"It's baffling and unbelievable," said Beau Ingraham, a friend and co-worker of Travers and another victim, Jeremy Martin. "We thought Jason was in a coma all day yesterday and we had hoped he'd pull out of it. We found out later Jason was killed while he was sleeping in a chair."
The co-op closed early Saturday after hearing the news of the men's deaths.
Travers was remembered for his gentle way of life: He was a vegan, a conscientious objector, a sometimes-Unitarian, according to his parents, who live in Albany, N. Y.
