7. Owning a gun is a moral failing. It means you've surrendered to fear & stupidity.

Sat Dec 15, 2012, 08:01 PM

Dec 2012

Advocating laws which make the mass murder of innocent children commonplace should be an immense source of shame for you, and for every gun worshiper.

Having guns around doesn't protect you or your loved ones from gun violence - it fosters gun violence. Reasonable people will try to find solutions to the problem of America having too many guns. If you find the search for such solutions offensive - even AFTER yesterday's massacre - then maybe... I don't know, you don't have any children? Or you don't love them enough to try to really keep them safe? Or you think America has already going to hell, so you'll just help it along a little more? Whatever. Your post is certainly not the thoughts of real Democrat who loves America.
