the FACT is that it was a lack of guns which allowed the killer to murder eight people. obviously, had staff at the home been armed, they could have killed the shooter BEFORE he killed the old people. the lunatical notion that criminals obey the law, which is precisely what EVERY individual who advocates banning guns is saying, is ridiculous on its face

For once ( a rare event indeed) I have to agree with Jumbo on this issue.

For once ( a rare event indeed) I have to agree with Jumbo on this issue. i trust that you have your tylenol. it's not difficult. EVERY rational person knows its true. it has been proven time and again when these shooting occur, they are only stopped by someone showing up with the ability to shoot back. it is so elementary that, were someone able to shoot back at the outset, far, far, fewer people would be killed
