I'm not an NRA member & never have been, but that's about the dumbest post I've seen in awhile.

BS, you have make so many pro-gun posts, that the NRA should be paying you for them. The fact that you consider my post dumb, I consider a compliment. Thank you.

so lets think with our feelings and not facts? should we make rash slip second choices that affect millions of others for decades to come based off of a bio-chemical reaction?

because thin with emotions have never had any failures/unintended consequences.

“It is ordained in the eternal constitution of things, that men of intemperate minds cannot be free. Their passions forge their fetters.” ― Edmund Burke


Fix reason firmly in her seat, and call to her tribunal every fact, every opinion. Question with boldness even the existence of a God; because, if there be one, he must more approve of the homage of reason, than that of blindfolded fear. Thomas Jefferson.

Yeah, because our feelings are a gut reaction not any facts. Sorry, who is Edmund Burke and why does he matter.

its not a Gun Culture its a Freedom Culture, its something you can never understand, and will not be molested by a bunch of uneducated ideologue who do not know anything about what they are talking about

Americans are no long buying the statistic nonsense about gun control being a solutions, it is one of the problems.

"mass shootings are a epidemic"

513 killed between 1983 and 2012 in mass shootings(too many i know) but 3,696 have been killed by lighting in the same span of time...so please go on about how it is the greatest source of loss of life in this nation..

Bottom line...

This mentally ill fruitcake never should have been allowed to piece together an assault weapon.

His family - culturally oriented toward male superiority - even when they're crazy - enabled him.

They knew he was crazy. Everyone knew he was crazy. Then this happened.

a gut reaction, a reaction what is not based on anything tangible or contestable.

Edmund Burke is one of the greatest minds in human history.

Edmund Burke PC (12 January [NS] 1729[1] – 9 July 1797) was an Irish[2][3] statesman, author, orator, political theorist and philosopher, who, after moving to England, served for many years in the House of Commons of Great Britain as a member of the Whig party.

He is mainly remembered for his support of the cause of the American Revolutionaries, and for his later opposition to the French Revolution. The latter led to his becoming the leading figure within the conservative faction of the Whig party, which he dubbed the "Old Whigs", in opposition to the pro–French Revolution "New Whigs", led by Charles James Fox.[4]

who was also a student of human nature, and has given us many of the insights of the unchangeability nature of human nature.

its is a very very very sad that you do not know who he is, and you choice to make your choices based on a emotion reaction.

Wait, are you actually trying to legitimize emotional, as opposed to logical, legislative action?
