But in answer to the author's accusation, no, actually I don't give a rip if he's afraid.

Agreed

You have the right to pursue happiness. You do NOT have the right not to be scared.

Thanks for posting this. Although it's from Salon, it has a link to the only article about this whole incident that explains most of what happened and contains the shooter's name and picture. I've posted that article here:

No, I really don't give a rabid rat's a$$ that there are those who are patently phobic when it comes to firearms they haven't seen, which have not been used to shoot any human being under my watch, nearly half a century for some.

If people can't handle that, maybe they need to obsess on their belly button or an orifice or something.

If they are afraid, then they aren't capable of doing anything about their fear. Whose fault is that? Not mine.

Just because they are defenseless and afraid it is no reason to try to force me to join their ranks.

If you gave 100 of the douchebags weapons the safest place to be would probably be immediately down range, most of them couldn’t hit a barrel obstruction...

Yeah the truth is 100M+ legal gun owners with 300M+ legally owned guns if not more. 100M based on last figure I could find 32% of American homes.

They would prefer he use a claw hammer like the man in Missouri that just got a stay of execution? He beat to death three people.

I’m a gun nut and I don’t care.


Sung to the tune of “I’m a lumberjack”...

Then I quote my tag line which is one of the most mis-quoted Scriptures.

People,who say you will be less afraid and safer not having a gun, need to experience being on the wrong end of one from a criminal or whackjob govt agent.

You know, I’d guess that it’s not only “gun nuts” that don’t care if this sad sack is afraid...

This little rabbit probably never faced "tough truths" about anything. Liberals never do.

All they want to do is complain nobody else 'cares' like they do.

Here’s one tough fact for you, Salon:

One man’s moral standing is not at the mercy of another man’s actions.
