Like I said, I accept your request. Just give me some time to think and sleep on it. I'm kinda fired up right now. I promise to address this soon, just not right now.

I read your link, Cowboy. While I'm glad that this man has sense enough to not blame guns or the NRA, i strongly disagree with his insinuation that more God in public institutions will lead to less violence. He had one thing right. That we need to look inside our hearts for the solution. God is not the answer any more than Superman is. If kids in public schools want to pray in school, fine. They should do it privately, or at the very least, in groups of like-minded students. Open prayer has no place in public schools or any public institution, for that metter. If there are non-believing kids or kids of non-christian faith, they have the right to not be immersed and subjected to open, public prayer. Period.
Just for the record, this experience on the range with the Rangers was one of the best times of my life. A once in a lifetime opportunity. A lot of fun was had and no one was hurt. I see no reason to justify the experience to any of you.
I have had absolutely nothing to do with any shootings, Columbine or otherwise. I resent the insinuation that I am somehow responsible for any of these instances, just because I legally own a few guns and enjoy legal recreational use of them. None of my guns have ever taken a life, human or otherwise. I am not the problem.

If by "amazing" you mean smart enough to see past the bullshit and grasp the real, bigger picture? Yep. pretty amazing. Too bad all folks aren't so easily led and influenced by media sensationalism.

What about the thousands of Pakistani kids being murdered by US drone strikes in Pakistan? Those kids aren't loved by someone?
Right, I forget. They're brown kids, not white. They don't matter as much.

The point is, everyone has been worked up (by the media) over 26 deaths.
26 deaths is inconsequential on the world scene.
More children died of diarrhea and malnutrition today (AND EVERYDAY) than that, but everyone sits on their ass and does nothing about it. OHHH, but let CNN & MSNBC & BBC run hour upon hour of footage of the 26 dead in Conn (yeah, they work just like the JWs -- Armageddon sells newspapers!) and that's a big f***ing deal that deserves a Constitutional Amendment. WTF??
Why don't you people pry yourself away from your computer and do some volunteering or donate some of your cold hard CASH to help the 1000s of disadvantaged children who are at risk every single day? Big talkers at the keyboard, but unwilling to do anything that REALLY helps anyone. Talk. Talk. Talk. In fact, not even TALK. Keystrokes on a webpage that doesn't matter in the news media.
26? Weren't there more than that killed in the bus accident? Let's ban buses. How about those plane crashes? Let's ban planes.
And by the way, I don't own a gun. But I agree with the 2nd Amendment. It's the only thing that keeps the politicians somewhat in fear.

Absolutely spot-on, DOC. Bravo.

Lest we forget the religious right's view of today's tragedy....
by EntirelyPossible ina. douchebag.. http://livewire.talkingpointsmemo.com/entry/huckabee-schools-place-of-carnage-because-we-systematically.
former arkansas governor mike huckabee attributed the mass shooting at sandy hook elementary school in part to restrictions on school prayer and religious materials in the classroom.
"we ask why there is violence in our schools, but we have systematically removed god from our schools," huckabee said on fox news, discussing the murder spree that took the lives of 20 children and 6 adults in newtown, ct that morning.

Welcome and congrats on your fade!
While I'm American (Seattle), I have the privilege of getting to visit Scotland often for work. I work for Diageo, the drinks giant. I am an ambassador here in the Pac NW for their whisk(e)y portfolio, so I get to visit their many distilleries in Scotland, as well as Bushmills in N Ireland.
Hope you find comfort and support here. Next time I'm in Scotland, I'll buy you a pint and a dram.

Why Isn't the USA the Safest Country in the World With All the Guns
by RubaDub inwe have 9 guns for every 10 people in this country.
since more guns = better protection, i keep asking myself why there is so much gun violence here ???.
i don't see such violence in canada, australia, europe, japan and other so-called "advanced" countries.. what is wrong with us here.

When was the last time an "outlaw" went nuts and shot multiple anonymous innocent people?
I would have to say that makes them automatically an outlaw, but hey, you get the argument for argument's sake award.

OK. let me ammend that tired old adage so that it applies better to the topic at hand:
When Semi-Auto firearms are outlawed, only outlaws will have Semi-Auto firearms.
Better?

Here's a great idea for a solution to violence:

i thought it the most brilliant and sensible thought on the topic:.
"this weeks tragedies point to serious issues in our society, and much as we would like to answer the question of why?

A pipe dream, sure, but it makes more sense than the idiocy that the pro gun/anti gun folks are spouting.
