DAVID BROOKS, PBS NEWSHOUR: ....I think if we're going to control guns, we really have to do it massive.

I think I'm all for getting rid of the assault weapons and machine guns and all that tough, but if we want to prevent something like this, we have to really think seriously about drastically reducing the number of guns in our society, and particularly -- this is an old Patrick Daniel Moynihan idea -- the number of bullets. It is very hard to control 300 million guns. The bullets are a little easier to control.

Sure. Controlling 300 million guns seems really hard. That's a big number!!!
I'm sure the number of bullets is much smaller and more manageable. We can control them easily!

David sounds like he might be hitting the happy smoke. Nazi style “gun control” will do nothing to stop incidents like what happened yesterday.

Brooksie is so smaht--but he doesn't know how to use an adverb in a sentence, so he uses an adjective.

What a metro-testicle!

If one person shouts “fire” in a crowded theater, do you duct tape the mouths of every person who wants to voice an opinion?

No?

Then why would someone suggest a gun ban?

Every time the subject of gun control comes up when the left starts exploiting the murder of innocents by some criminal madman, the leftists illustrate their total ignorance about guns in general. People so stupid should be ignored.

Hey Brooks, are you also going to control the guns that the security people carry in the building to protect your sorry ass?

Why should your life be considered worth more than those of law-abiding, gun-carrying citizens?

they really are stupid. How many times do we have to spank these people before they learn not to screw with the second amendment? I think I’ll go buy some reloading components for Christmas now. Ho Ho Ho.

Why do I feel our government is creating these killers with mind control?

Let’s start gun control by having POTUS publically apologize for smuggling machine-guns to narcoTraffickers, thereby killing over (so far) 300 poor brown people from Mexico...? How’s that.

THEN he can apologize for deceiving those gun-dealers whom he tricked, then betrayed.

THEN he can say sorry for putting the pieces in place for the killing of two US federal officers.

Then he can explain WHY he did those things, and the material measures he will undertake to remedy the situation.

THEN he can finish by detailing new factors making it impossible for him or any similar insect to replicate what he did.

***The bullets are a little easier to control.****

See the nice photo of this handmade semi-auto pistol? See the nice hand made magazine and bullets with hand made cartridges? It was made inside one of California's most notorious prisons by an inmate.

I predict that skid loads of ammunition will be flying out the doors of gun shows for the rest of the month and as long thereafter as it is available.
