There Is No Tipping Point In Sight. There Is No Massacre To Terrible.

I do not see any tipping point on these massacres. In fact outspoken students and parents will get threats and harassment from gun owners, the NRA and cranks. The RW will push false flag scenarios and Democrat conspiracies. Eventually someone will be murdered who speaks out. We are now in territory we have never seen.

The "coming for your guns crowd" will go into hysterics and come armed to demonstrations if a gun backlash takes hold and shows signs of having a chance.

Our civil war will come on gun control if there is movement becomes wide spread to pass laws.

That guy shot people at the GOP congressional baseball game and it didn't make any difference.

Directly into the NRA and R puppets propaganda. Do not be a victim of RW propaganda.

I do sense a tipping point...the videos the children made are really giving a true sense of the terror and carnage that mass media purposely sanitizes...delicate American fee fees on violence, ya see.

Civil war? Another RW meme. Gunners rising against a $600 billion dollar military not to mention police and nation nail guard, is not going to happen.

No they won't go against military. But they will try to intimidate federal officers like during the Bundy affair. They still are dangerous.

IIRC. Even real terrorists know when things have gone too far.

They stopped because of many years of negotiations and compromise, not because of any guilt.

How many dead people is enough for these ghouls so they have their fetish objects? All I want is a number. The number of people killed or injured by guns is in the tens of thousands now. And clearly that isn't enough blood for them.
