1. Dumb bastard

What an idiot!!

[arcane1]

2. Correction: he apologizes for the TIMING of his damned tweet

Also, did you notice how the 2nd amendment suddenly became "the individual right to self defense"?

"My opponent is against 'the individual right to self defense'"!

[proud2BlibKansan]

5. Exactly.

What a prick.

[ananda]

3. A non apology.

He's only sorry for the timing.

What a scum

[yellowcanine]

4. Any apology which contains an explanation is worthless.

When will pubbies learn that. Going into "as a staunch and unwavering supporter...." is bs. No one wants to hear that.

[freethought]

6. I was hoping I would see something like

"Care to come up to Boston and say it to our face!"

[Boomerproud]

7. The replies are wonderful

I would have said "Come up and say that without your metal penis in your hand Bubba."

[mythology]

8. I'd rather his parents apologize

for not watching tv that night, or using birth control.

What a pathetic excuse for a human being. And unfortunately, he's already procreated.

[Apophis]

9. Hope he chokes on a pretzel.

[Zoeisright]

10. Fuck off, Bell.

Too little too late, you fucking piece of shit.

[CakeGrrl]

11. Could he be any clearer that he's not sorry for what he SAID?

'Elizabeth Powell' hit the nail on the head.

[proud2BlibKansan]

12. Yep. He's sorry for the timing.

Asshole.

13. And yet suspect #2 was taken without incident

And two ARMED officers were injured or kill. But the unarmed hijack victim was released safely.
And if I am not Mistaken There were a lot of heavily armed Trained officials. on the scene.

Why would a civilian wanna run out in that mess and play Rambo?

[proud2BlibKansan]

14. The guy who found him didn't need an AR15

He called 911.

Imagine that.

[Heather MC]

15. I Think Gun nuts live on a different plain of existence

They don't see trained officers with guns hunting a suspect and being killed or injured

They see a vicious criminal with a gun, and the cops on the street in tights and ballerina tutus, dancing the nut cracker.
Quite exquisitely might I add.

But without a bunch of scared armed baffoons running around "helping" the cops. The capture just didn't happen.

[proud2BlibKansan]

17. You bet they do.

I have a friend on Facebook. Everything he sees about a gun accident and the resulting anger, even when a child is involved, he sees as a threat to take his guns away. He never shows the least amount of concern about protecting kids. It's always about him and his guns. In fact, I found this on his page, where he was criticizing liberals for using the tragedy in Boston for political purposes - and those political purposes are to take his guns away.

[Heather MC]

18. We secretly replaced your friends gun with a toy replica, let's see if he notices the difference

Ohh wouldn't that be funny

[Sheldon Cooper]

16. Other than the obvious gratuitous slam at liberals, I don't

understand his point. Does he think that citizens armed with AR15 rifles should be out patrolling the streets, rather than remaining safely in their homes while the authorities search for the missing suspect?

And furthermore, how does he know that all those Boston liberals are unarmed? I'd guess plenty of them have guns of some sort.

Again, what is he getting at - armed vigilante squads prowling the streets? Or having a metal penis to fondle while you wait in your home for the professionals to do their job?
