I will not send thoughts and prayers

to any victims of NRA-supported gun nuts. I will send email and phone calls to my senators and representative urging them to take a stand against possession of arsenals by individuals. It may do just as much good, but at least there's a slight chance they'll be able to introduce some sane gun regulations.

You mean to say they will TRY to do something.

No amount of dead children will be enough to get any legislation done. NO AMOUNT.

The repub rep that was shot said he has no regrets for his support of the NRA. He is against any sort of gun laws.

Perhaps if it was his child that were shot, but I doubt that would make a difference.

He would just say it's god's will, and the price for living in the U.S.

If individual states like FL want to encourage every person own 25 guns, then I just wont live there.

Many states would limit guns to that which the Constitution limits them to if the 2nd wasn't misinterpreted intentionally for financial profit.
