Just listened to the NRA presser, there was the obligatory little old lady making the usual screamed comments, blood on your hands, ban guns, etc…
The money quote as far as I’m concerned from Lapierre- “The only thing that stops a bad guy with a gun is a GOOD guy with a gun.”
Among other points covered, the need for a national database for mental illness, lack of prosecution of criminals involved in gun crimes, Feds cutting school security programs, and an online game I didn’t even know existed (Kindergarten killers)…

He did make some good points… But here is food for thought on the gun ban issue.. Columbine, Peal Mississippi…proof they don’t work…..
“lack of prosecution of criminals involved in gun crimes”
like Ft Hood?
PH- Yep
Earl- Concur on the too many words…
Anon- Whatever…
JUGM- Oh yeah, but THAT is rational…
Ed- Yep… among others…
Time will tell. The passive hostiles now feel free to spew forth their venom. Seems the always need be in a mob to feel safe.
