The Second Amendment is greatly responsible for America's continued freedom...that a few nuts from time to time do as this nut did, does not warrant stripping the Nation of it's rights to protect themselves.

Washington, D.C. has excessively heavy gun laws as does the Washington Navy Yard....no amount of law is going to stop someone intent on killing. If gun laws were successful, the killing each week in Chicago would abate don'tcha think? Gangs, Nuts, and criminals is the real problem.

I’m just grateful he didn’t rent a large dump truck, fill it with sand and then go plowing through (insert targets here).

The biggest threat to our society today is Christian tea-party members buying assault rifles through the gun-show loophole.

The terrible events of yesterday show that we need to crack down on those people.

Y’know, a lot of this problem is self-inflicted. We as gun owners have a real bad tendency to “hide our light under a bushel basket.” That is to say that most gun owners don’t carry and those that do tend to carry concealed. Which might be OK from a tactical perspective, but in the long run just undercuts our position. Very few gun owners Open Carry the Tools of Liberty. And it’s not helping us one little bit.

Ask yourself: would the kind of senseless butchery we’ve seen in CT and DC and CO and other places have occurred if even 10% of the population Open Carried?

No, it probably would not.

And we also have to ask whether we would even be hearing the tired bleatings of the gun grabbers if 10% of the population Open Carried?

No, we probably would not.

So while we complain about the gun grabbers and fight them politically, it continues to be something of a rearguard effort. We could largely eliminate violent crime and get marginalize the gun grabbers in one fell swoop if just say one out of 4 or one out of 5 gunowners would just openly and proudly carry the Tools of Liberty as they went about their day to day business.

That is Obama's entire voter base. He wants to make sure that they are surviving and your family is dying.

SOP for the vultures who can’t even wait for the bodies to get cold before they do this tired old dance.
