Those kids died protecting the right to stock up on as many assault rifles as the right wing gun nuts see fit.

Tin foil hat time perhaps, but you put your name on that list and they've got you on record being an "enemy of the state", "rebel insurgency" or some other such nonsense. Think about it. The 5 million or so NRA members are a small minority of the US population and "see here folks, these are your troublemakers! They should be dealt with right?"

Gun collectors/enthusiasts are the last people you need to worry about. Those are the people that will probably help you when the SHTF.

Tell that to the Florida police who ran from the scene like cowards.

The police are only a phone call away....

Just remember, if box-cutter sales spiked after 9/11, or pressure cooker sales spiked after the Boston Bombing, nobody would be taking pride in it or hailing the people making those purchase as "heroes." But we're going to pretend that people rushing to buy guns after a mass shooting of kids is a perfectly normal and healthy reaction. Whatever.

That miserable lie is getting so old...it's the gun grabbers who don't give a hoot about dead children. They only care about taking guns away...they dance on children's graves for the opportunity to make their case.

If it was REALLY about the children they'd go after the number one cause of death, then the second...not the eighth or tenth...

Well, they aren’t doing it because of the shooting. They’re doing it because of the talk of any sort of gun control, as I and many others predicted from day one. We’ve all seen this play out too many times.
