(81,127 posts)Um...could I add that the MOM of that gunman was probably quite a law-abiding citizen. And those guns were hers. Obtained legally. WHY THE HELL SHOULD SHE HAVE HAD GUNS IN HER HOME, WHEN SHE LIVED WITH A MENTALLY-UNSTABLE FAMILY MEMBER - IN THAT SAME HOME???????????
I mourn her murder, too. But Jesus, Mary, and Joseph - WHY on God's Green Earth should someone like her be allowed to have a bunch of guns in her home, when she lived with a mentally unstable family member?????? WHY is that allowed??????????
Glad you're here. Good point you made.
I remember when John Lennon was shot by that nutcase "fan" mark david chapman. We just passed that assassination anniversary six days ago. That was in 1980. ronald reagan had just been elected, and as President-Elect, he was asked to comment. He blathered some mealy-mouthed crap about how it was a tragedy what happened to John Lennon, but God Forbid we be prevented from having our precious fucking guns!!! Ironically, it was the following March when reagan, himself, was shot by some nutcase, and was almost killed.
It's JUST. GOT. TO. STOP. Paraphrasing a famous quote - at long last, have WE no decency????????
