Perhaps.

Be that as it may, then it makes more sense to hold on to what we have than to say it is hopeless and give it all up.

New Amsterdamers we are not.........and better to die on one's feet than live on one's knees.

Have to love the honesty here. Also, this is probably exactly what the NRA wants:

Somebody takes a picture and you have no idea why the store owner/employee is smiling. Possibly the photographer said: "Smile"? In that picture it is hard to spot any "assault rifles" but that is the title of this 'Tweet'. I just see a pile of hunting rifles; but somebody is trying to make a point. Even if the employee did order more 'assault' weapons; more could mean one or two. The store obviously has hundreds of weapons and most are not 'assault' weapons.

You are using disinformation as information. You loose your audience.

Psychopaths are attracted to gun-free zones. They know that they are free to kill a lot of people there without facing any resistance.

Oh, for heaven's sake. Consider all of these clichés and their actual value in relevance to reality.

People trotting out these trite phrases lose credibility quicker than slipping on snail snot.

The one point you make that has relevance and one in which I reluctantly agree is: "hanging on to what you have" as that is indeed the ONLY CHOICE left to you now. There are so many weapons already out there, you now have no other choice but to 'bunker mentality' your life to the extent keeping a watchful eye on your neighbour and fellow citizens whenever and wherever is prudent.

Were your government to ever attempt the foolish exercise of corralling all the firearms out there, rather than only those in the hands of felons and misfits, the lid would come off whatever restraint remains in the American populace.

Why Obama politicizes this is purely for the purpose of satisfying convention. He has to be seen to be outraged. Any other reaction, or lack thereof, would merely hasten his irrelevance.

So what's the solution then? Give everyone a gun and get rid of all gun-free zones? Is that becoming of an allegedly advanced and developed society? Turn every place into the wild west?

Looks like there is more to this story than what meets the eye. The sheriff in Douglas County is a pro gun advocate and he believes some of these mass shootings like Sandy Hook are false flag events executed for the purpose of pushing new restrictive gun control laws in America. He even sent VP Biden a message after Sandy Hook telling him to stay away from gun control. Just another coincidence or is part of this false flag operation designed to bring down the pro gun, pro 2nd amendment sheriff. The state-run mainstream media is going after the sheriff with guns a blazing.

Oregon sheriff who opposes gun control thrust into spotlight

I don't have a solution to the breakdown of families in this country. Where was this psychopath's family? Were they aware that he was a ticking time bomb?

Gun free zones only deter law abiding citizens from carrying a gun. When has a sticker placed on a window saying so, ever stopped robbery or a murder?

Who ever said we are an advance and developed society? We have multiple pockets of third world communities in this country. Just look at Chicago's South and West side......

Already is

It's simple really; psychopathic younger people are attracted to schools merely because these represent the manifestation of most of their frustrations....failure to be acknowledged, embraced or even recognized by peers. They target schools due to them being full of the peer group they think responsible for their lack of stature or recognition.

It's got nothing whatsoever to do with being "gun free" zones. How many school shootings involving anyone over the age of 30 have there been?

Compare the ratio of mass shootings (4 or more victims per incident) by perps of all ages and what do you see?

You have pizzed off kiddies with guns.....who pizzed them off?.......Other kiddies! Where can I find a cluster of kiddies to vent my anger upon.............a school. Preferrably the one they attended and where they received the bulk of their perceived scorn.

Secure your schools like little fortresses and there goes just another freedom you once enjoyed. The right to grow up and enjoy a childhood school experience that serves to shape your adulthood.

Shooters will then move onto other venues of youth concentration.....football games, sports venues, swimming holes.....where's this all going to end while stridently embracing that 2nd thingy?

Actually the writer who took that and posted it said that "She is upset about the shootings." I don't care about her smile. I care about the truth, that mass shootings increase gun sales, which is exactly how the NRA wants it.
