142 since Sandyhook.
I can't wait for the usual characters post up to inform us how little we know when we misuse lingo like "assault" rifle and the like. And how if only they'd been the good guy with the gun. Then they can tell us exactly what ammo, and gun would have been more effective. Yada yada yada yea!
Hey Hey Hey NRA how many kids did you kill today?

So if y'all can grab a paper bag and treat your hyperventilation take a few
moments to read this article by Sam Harris, the founder of Project Reason,
PhD neuroscientist, and highly-acclaimed author...
The Riddle of the Gun
Warning: it contains no hysterical rhetoric of any sort.

'Hyperventilation'? More like a 'disgusted, deeply saddened sigh'.

Apogee you beat me to it. Disgust is not something you "hyperventilate" Over.
But no surprise the knee jerks are prowling.

Add the 179 school shootings between Columbine and Sandyhook to the 142 since and you get a lot of dead people dismissed by those defending their indefensible misinterpretation of the 2nd Ammendment.

What stops a "good guy" with a gun from becoming a "bad guy" with a gun?

You know what the problem is with your Country, anita? Not enough guns.
Maybe if you guys had more guns, you'd stop being so goddam nice.

Genetically engineer good people, they will know what to do with the guns. Sterilize the current generation and wait for them to die off.
Simple scientific solution and may soon be fetusible.

It's not a stupid question Jody its worth asking. Your response was moronic. Look at Australia as an example of what can be done.

It's definitely the fault of Jesus hating liberal fags.
More guns is the only answer.

I'll bite:
What stops a "good guy" with a gun from becoming a "bad guy" with a gun?
Let me ask you this: What stops Philo from going down to his favorite legal dispensary, buying a bunch of pot brownies from his buds, getting even way more wasted than his normal self then driving his Prius into a busload of nuns?
I believe it is a sense of morality, but what do I know I am a proud gun owner.
Sounds like a horrible tragedy. I was in Roseburg this summer. It seemed like a peaceful little logging town. My condolences to those who lost loved ones.

Stupid question...not even worthy of an answer. Philo beat me to the punch. Not a stupid question (a pretty good one actually), just a really stupid answer.
