He was just exercising his second amendment rights, and a good guy with gun could have stopped any attacks after only a few hundred people were shot. The price we pay for a free society is that we take a chance that a drunken trespasser might shoot a few people. At least he isn't Muslim, it would be terrible to be shot by a Muslim terrorist.

Just wanted to have a romantic New Year's party with the loves of his life, maybe a nice dinner and a couple drinks to set the mood before retiring to their suite to oil up & clean barrels all night long.

Maybe the NRA should start pushing domestic co-partner rights for those poor, misunderstood guns...

Only exceptions would be having been born without them or having had them blown off while protecting Muslim sects from one another.
