Yes, and guns have been killing close to 40k people a year in the U.S. for years. I think we could all use a break, but it's highly improbable. It's all the the liberals' fault, if it's not Clinton's fault directly. A little quote from an interesting story:
Christopher Lau, who owns the Blackjack Pizza franchise where the young men worked three to five nights a week, said they always showed up on time and worked hard.
"Everybody's looking for answers and looking for answers," Lau said. "There's no clear answers." (from nytimes.com
Except around here, where the bloviating crapmeisters of the right always have clear and compelling answers. It's Clinton's fault! And if not his fault directly, it's all the fault of people who don't acknowledge the righteousness of the right! For the real clear answer here, you'll probably like this article:
Pratt, the executive director of the Gun Owners of America, an advocacy group situated in this suburb of Washington, stands tall even when some officials with the National Rifle Association are lying low. He expects as much from NRA officials; they are, he believes, sometimes faint of heart and impure of ideology. Pratt is not.
He believes there should be absolutely no regulations governing the sale or purchase of handguns -- no waiting period, no background checks, no trigger locks. Automatic weapons should be as available as hunting rifles. People should be permitted to buy them in abundance. nytimes.com
Yup, that's the answer, more guns, not less! That way, even more people will be ready and able to blow away anybody they get mad at. Of course, religious people never get mad at other people and blow them away. Sectarian violence, who ever heard of such a thing? Religious wars? Why, the very idea! |
