Yeah, "liberal culture" glorifies death and has no value on human life:




Timothy McVeigh was a rabid liberal, who was upset the federal government wouldn't give him more benefits.




The military, the Iraq and Afghanistan wars were planned and trumped by liberal Americans while hundreds of thousands of Republicans protested same.





Liberals and Democrats make up the bulk of gun buyers and enthusiasts in this country.





Liberals are always having to convince conservatives that the death penalty is necessary and proper.




I'm SURE their parents voted for Obama!

Yes I want the teachers to carry guns. It is their Constitutional right. Why would you want to take away a over 200 year old Constitutional right?

The Federal Assault Weapons Ban expired on September 13, 2004, as part of the law's sunset provision. There have been multiple attempts to renew the ban, but no bill has reached the floor for a vote.

I've just head people say they want gun control, and that that gun control could have prevented this, but that they also aren't saying outright abolition. So I would like to know about the specifics. Thanks.
I am a liberal who owns and shoots guns (I love going to the range for target practice).

Personally, I think guns should not be outlawed, but more stringent restrictions should be put into place.

I found it very strange that I was able to buy a gun without even obtaining training on how to properly use it.

Tougher screening for mental illnesses. Longer waiting periods. Restrictions on guns that are semi-auto, large clips. Restrictions on purchase of body armor, bulletproof vests.

Done correctly I can kill just as many people with a revolver or bolt action as I can an semi-automatic weapons. Someone skilled can reload quickly.

An assault gun is just a rifle that looks mean. No difference than the 30.06 used in WW2 and used by hunters by the thousands.

A rifle is a rifle is a rifle. It's either ban them all or not at all. (not talking automatic weapons)

At least three weapons were recovered at the scene, including a .223-caliber assault rifle and two semi-automatic handguns.

What is an assault weapon ? Please describe the difference between it and any high powered rifle.

No. A hypocrite is a left-wing politician/celebrity who's security staff is armed.
