"I'm comfortable with "We've got too many fucking guns loose in this country"- I'm comfortable with the veracity of that statement)"

I'm comfortable with (or uncomfortable) the fact that we can't do a damn thing about that. A bit too many to confiscate. Also, if you get very conservative in estimations, like 10X the IPPC conservative, there are 100 bullets for each of them; more likely, 1000 or more, plus the ability to reload your own.

If tomorrow, we only allowed sale of smart guns (which are made, but kept off the market by NRA) with background checks, there will still be 90% of "too many fucking guns" plus all the smart guns kicking around in 50 years, or 100.... global warming permitting.

....re...White kid.......????

yup

A young Californian gunman identified locally as the son of the assistant director of The Hunger Games film franchise is suspected of killing six people and wounding seven more in a murderous rampage from his black BMW.

The killer, who also died, conducted a series of drive-by shootings in a college town on a busy Friday evening, just hours after apparently posting a chilling video outlining his murderous plans for “retribution” because of rebuffs by women.
