Why? Why Aurora? Why Ft. Hood? Why Gabby Giffords? Why Virginia Tech?Because we passed the nineteenth amendment to the Constitution which allowed over emotional stupid women to elect politicians that are over emotional and non-thinking just like themselves.
This resulted in the ever growing nanny state, gun free zones and the codling of criminals and the end of the death penalty in a quick and sure manner.
This will soon right itself though. Thanks to stupid women like yourself, the forced chickification of America will let the muslims take over our society and you and your kind will find themselves wearing burkas and getting your once a day beatings that you so much deserve.

Robert Heinlien, in his masterpiece Starship Troopers proposed that only military veterans be able to vote. Imagine what this country would be like were that rule enacted.

I just ran the numbers from here:
List of Massacres in the USThe top states, since 1900, are:
CA - 11
WA - 5
CO - 4
IL - 4
MA - 4
NY - 4
TX - 4
I don't know how good this list is, because I can think of 2 more in WA (Fairchild AFB-1994-4 dead-22 injured and Carnation-2007-6 dead)
Point taken.

Texas has many more people than any state on that list, save for California, so per capita, it’s probably less.

only military veterans be able to vote. Imagine what this country would be like were that rule enacted. That would be OK at first. But, after a while we would become too combative as a society. Picture the Klingons.
I'd be ecstatic if you had to be a property owner or a tradesman to vote and had to be a military vet to be eligible to be president.

Why does Aurora happen? Middle age loser decides on Suicide by cop fame after he is dumped by his girlfriend.
Totally the chick's fault!

On behalf of the 12 victims who were killed by James Holmes bullets, and on behalf of the 59 other victims who were injured by James Holmes bullets, and on behalf of the hundreds of those 71 victims family members, and on behalf of the millions of other people who all weekend asked, Why?
Yes, why don’t these incidents happen where people are free to carry in movie theaters?

The State of Washington is on this list, which is surprising.
About half our citizens are carrying concelaed guns as any one time.
There aren’t that many mini market hold-ups statewide because a criminal never knows how many others in the store will drill him/her.

Has that ever worked? Has anyone in the middle of a mass shooting massacre ever been stopped by a gun-wielding hero who wasnt a police officer called to the scene?75% of mass shootings are stopped by civilians: Link. Of those, one third are stopped by armed civilians. The total breakdown is as follows:
Stopped by police: 25%
Stopped by unarmed civilians: 50%
Stopped by armed civilians: 25% (same as stopped by police).
End of argument (sources at link)...

Texas passed their law permitting concealed carry in 1995. Thank you for making our (the 2nd Amendment crowd’s) point for us...

Yeah, I didn’t phrase that well, did I? I meant to include you in the “our,” but after hitting “post,” I realized it didn’t read that way. My bad...
