I can just see that gun Hasan bought...it jumped out of it's box and slithered its way through the front gate and jumped up and shot all those people...all by itself. /sarc
Here we go again with the "it's the guns fault" theory...try to remember the rosie o'donnel comparison...spoons don't make her fat...SHE makes her fat.
A gun is manufactured from metal, put in a box, and lies in the store until someone buys it. It doesn't get lonesome, it doesn't demand to get out of the box and go shoot someone...that depends on the buyer.
I've owned guns all my life, and I'm 64 now...none of my guns EVER jumped out of the case/holster/box and shot - or even pointed themselves - at anyone.
Liberals seem to be afraid of guns...everytime one is discharged, every journalist wonk in America starts to write the same old articles they did last time one discharged, only changes the dates and circumstances. But, it always ends up leaning toward gun control. It's why the left doesn't like war...they don't like guns.
They think we traded colored beads and trinkets for the peace we've enjoyed for over 200 years in this country. They seem to think that we met our adversaries out in a field of daisys, made daisy-garlands and danced hand in hand in a circle singing Kumbaya.
But, secretly, those same elites who slam the gun have armed guards to keep them safe...so why would they need one?
The point is, they don't want YOU to have one because you're too hard to brainwash and manipulate when you have that weapon. Disarming you is first on the minds of liberals, it's the only thing that stands between them and total world domination.
I think it was Daniel Webster who said, "An armed society is a polite society." Well, it's not too polite right now, but take away our guns, and it will be downright caos, and we'll soon be dead.

I think it was Daniel Webster who said, "An armed society is a polite society." Actually that was a fictional character, Lazarus Long, who was created by the sci-fi writer Robert Heinlein.

I quote:
"Many of those who support this gun-free military base policy have reacted to calls to review it, by simply echoing the standard refrain of gun-control advocates that, 'we dont want everyone on a military base running around with a gun on their hip." (Of course, had this been the case at Ft. Hood, it is doubtful Maj. Hasan could have squeezed off more than a couple of rounds before being himself felled by an armed soldier.) It is a false dichotomy that we either allow no one (except MPs) or everyone on military bases to possess firearms."
He's against gun free zones.
