BTW, they make speed reloaders for pistols where a revolver can be reloaded in seconds by someone who knows what their doing.

It does not really matter the weapon when a crazed person is in an enclosed building with helpless children

Then how about a case against kool-aid?
You or your family members had any lately?

Jet Liners?
Flown anywhere lately?

Let's outlaw Kool-aid and planes!
Yeah .. That's the ticket!

Largest recorded mass murder weapon(kool-aid)in history until 911.
(Almost a thousand)

Jonestown

1. 287 children died in the Jonestown massacre.

2. According to the Guyanese court which had jurisdiction in the matter, all but three of the deaths in Jonestown were ruled to be the result of murder, not suicide. Source: The New York Times, 12/12/78

3. In spite of this fact, the US news media persists in erroneously calling these deaths a "mass suicide."

Coming for you Kool-aid drinkers next!

(kool-aid/liberals .. yup)

Hey not only did she have quite the weapon collection, she was home schooling little Adam.

How does THAT sit with the "liberty-loving" gun crowd who insist that home-schooling is better than letting your kids attend a public school.

BTW I hav no problem with ordinary citizens owning guns and am waiting to learn whether the killer's mother had hers under lock and key at her home.

Oh goodie. You should be a prime candidate to explain the chart below. I've been making the rounds with this one today.

If there is only a smattering of crazy people with guns and otherwise everything else to do with them is very safe, then why does this chart look like this?

You are a liberal - denseness comes with the territory.

Become a conservative, and you will learn how to think critically and intelligently.

PLEASE READ THIS^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

It's the first time I've seen the video you've posted.

But keep on attacking all libs like many of you do, think about reading someone's other posts before you attack. And please stop painting all liberals with the same wide brush. We're not all alike.
I'm not attacking you. The broad brush
is to blame this on lack of gun control.

I'd like to see your opinion on the video posted.

Who on earth told you that? Even the silly linked article is one man's opinion. A man in a bar, no less.
