[TeamPooka]

What does a trauma center doctor say after treating mass shooting victims?
"I'd like you to put me out of business..."
Well said Doc.

2. K&R. n/t

[AlinPA]

3. The gun industry and NRA will strongly disagree with her.

[TeamPooka]

5. and the millions of us who do agree with her need to speak up.

[alarimer]

4. Yes, guns.

Among other things.

Yet another mass shooting.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

6. Usually the evil is abuse or parenting about false dont-back-down machoism.

The saying goes "The sins of the father parent are visited upon the son child."

Unfortunately innocent bystanders get killed as a result.

[Snake Plissken]

7. If 20 six year olds getting shot in the face can't stop this insanity, I'm not sure what can

the only thing that will result from this latest mass murder in Washington is more mentally unstable people going out to buy even more guns and ammo ... because Obama is going to take them away from them yet again.

Because that is all that ever results from senseless mass murders like this in our country.

[TeamPooka]

9. I need to hope that someday we will come to our senses as a nation about this.

[Rebl]

15. I fear

That will never happen.

[Cryptoad]

16. If adjusted for population growth the data says

Gun Ownership is decreasing in this country........

[TeamPooka]

17. hope springs enternal

[hunter]

21. Fewer people buying more guns.

I'd like to see a lot more art like this:

"The redemption of this metal that could have taken your life or mine..."

[ProudToBeBlueInRhody]

10. This

Newtown should have been the line in the sand. America has said they are fine with women and children being blown away, just don't hurt the gun trade.

11. Fear. Moore spells it out well in Bowling for Columbine.

our media, religion, politics - you name it - all there to make money scaring the shit out of us.

[RadiationTherapy]

13. That statement is of no use at all.

In fact, I wonder how many shooters think they are "eradicating evil".

[baldguy]

20. Most of them. But then, the average gun owner thinks his gun for serves the same purpose too.

[TeamPooka]

22. fear and mistrust of themselves over others

[heaven05]

14. I applauded her words.

[TeamPooka]

24. +1000

[Precisely]

18. Corporate rule

[Paladin]

25. Think of this doctor at a table, with Wayne LaPierre seated across from her.

That, in symbolic fashion, is the debate over guns in this country. If you ever wonder why pro-gun militants---for all their political victories over the years---are so paranoid, why fear drives their every action, think of that table. Pro-gun activists are on the wrong side of the table, sitting across from the Good People in this country, and they know it. That's where they are, that's where they'll stay. As in most instances, the Good People will ultimately prevail on the firearms debate. But thousands and thousands more innocent people are going to have to needlessly die at the hands of gun-wielding lunatics before it happens. That's where matters stand at this point; might as well be realistic about it. I seriously doubt I'll live to see it happen; those of you who are around at that point, please enjoy it on my behalf.
