It's possibly the best marshalling of all the arguments against the gun culture I've seen.

It won't be long.

America is a sick society in so many ways.

I wonder when Madison et al were framing the 2nd Amendment, ie

"A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms shall not be infringed."

did they ever think anything like this would ever happen? I'd say the hero in that incident is as far removed from the ideals the 'founding fathers' had as is possible to be.

Alexander Hamilton thought the Bill of Rights was a terrible idea. He was surely thinking "I told ya so" as his life drained away after Aaron Burr shot him.

The Virginia Governer has said the suspect, still at large, is a disgruntled station employee.

[AZOffaly]

Must be number of mass shootings, otherwise 1 wouldn't appear.
