Er, the penalty for murder is pretty high. Dont think Chicago kids are robbing delis with this.

If someone’s gonna crack, they usually go all out.

Not to sound like a liberal weasel, but the founding fathers didn’t know there were gonna be guns that shoot 4 billion rounds a minute!!!

Hard to take out sixty people with a musket :)

I assume most here think this incident is the price you pay for freedom.

I painfully admit that is likely the answer.

Booze on convenience stores shelves and “medications” being sold by pharma are killing a #### of a lot more people than the people using these guns.

Well, with respect, you do. The FFs did know about fully automatic weapons.
