    This is not about trying but succeeding. Only 2-8 times our of 1000 have people actually managed to defend themselves with guns - that is despite being the most heavily armed nation in the world

    So, for a slim chance you MIGHT just MIGHT hit an intruder you put your children at risk

    Well yeah, but so are we ALL if we don't take action. [It IS interesting and quite telling that NRA understands all too well their part on this outrage.]

    You mean being respectful of the situation instead of the asshats like Bloomberg trying to make a political point over the tragedy?

    It is funny how you quote Bloomturd, the biggest anti-gun moron out there.


    Yes, they are a huge lobby. So are the unions. They are still huge advocates of gun safety and Constitutional freedoms. Prove me wrong.
