Maybe his father left the weapons there after their divorce.

I bet I would, and it'd be pretty easy to thin the herd of gun nuts too, as I could just sit back and let you come at me. Be like playing Duck Hunt on the Potomac!

But, I'm not President....

No. The Constitution was designed from our founding fathers to be changable. Ever hear of an Amendment?

When I have to arm myself before buying something at the mall, I do not live in a civilized place.
Where am I, Iraq?
Oh yeah, America.

Put me in a room full of grade school children and I could use a 'mass killing' rock as my weapon of choice.
(They are easy to get and not so hard to register)

We seem to have a nutbar problem .. not a 'mass killing' weapon of choice?

Yes, they can. All they have to do is not share that they're mentally ill.

I watched a friend of mine in my early 20s amass a stockpile that included a 50cal, ak-47, ar-15, and many handguns, he had actually been institutionalized twice.

There's some truth to that, because I'm furious about this today, yet again. But as I lay here at the foot of my 5 year old's bed while he goes to sleep, I can promise you that my heart hurts about this as well.

I KNOW that I am responsible for my own safety. the cops do not have to protect me or even be there if anything happens.

it is too bad that you dont take that responsibility and have to rely on others to protect you.

He'd have to get rid of half the members of Congress. Which he would turn to using violence and guns. How ironic and hypocritical. Anyway, it's his dream so let him have it.
