Haven't you heard? According to right-wingers, gun violence won't end until there is a gun in the hands of every man, woman, and child in America. Until then, we will have to keep re-living these tragedies over and over again.

Not entirely true, but I'd have a better chance against someone with a gun trying to kill me if I had my gun with me.

No liberal or mindless one would for an instant think about how much worse it would have been. Doubtless the teacher would lose their job, instead.

How many stories where a gunman is stopped focus on how things would have gone if they were unopposed? The problem we have as armed citizens is that the lives saved will never be reported on. Only the lives taken, as they fit the approved narrative.
This response is a prime example of level headed common sense put to text.

Thank you

Guns are designed as a tool for defense: whether it be human or animal. They are designed to kill, not to murder. Just like alcohol, drugs, food, or anything else they can be abused.

These bureaucrats have banned food (Foie gras, salt, happy meals, large sodas) in an effort to make people eat right; with little effect!

I'm sorry; this control logic is back-asswards and goes against the entire premise of freedom. Banning weapons isn't about the betterment of society (not for the power mongers) so much as it is about control. The power they can cull by tramping on our rights and freedoms.

People have the right NOT to own a weapon. I have the right TO own a weapon. We gun owners won't force you to buy a weapon; anti-gun zealots shouldn't try to take ours away. Especially under the guise, the lie, of security and safety, because you'd get neither.
