As often happens when tragedy strikes in America, particularly in the shooting spree genre, we have noticed a thing that also happens. We have noticed that the right-wing gun fetish mythical meme machine is way fast and way good at coming out with reasons that gun-control is of course always to blame and the only reason anyone gets killed in shooting sprees at all is because they didn't have their own gun at the ready. Because if everyone always had a gun, in their hand at all times we guess, someone showing up at your work or school or movie theater, and full on sneak-attack unloading an automatic weapon at you and your co-workers, or students, or fellow theater goers, would be no prob. That's just common sense. And this week's funtimes tragedy at the DC naval yard was just another time when the unarmed were overtaken. So, who to blame?
Perhaps instead of saying "tight controls," you could re-word that as something completely new and never before heard of like, say, "well-regulated"?
Good thing the "liberal media" is another one of those invented narratives, because otherwise facts like this might get out. They can save their beautiful minds for more productive uses of their time, like Repeal Obamacare #42, Electric Boogaloo.
Well, according to the NRA, that should be enough. So if you're a good guy, and you have a gun, then you'll stop the bad guys. They didn't say that the gun had to be loaded, or capable of firing a round, did they?
A society that brandishes unloaded, non-functioning guns is a polite society.
Where I live, most of the people who don blaze orange and go tromping through woods during the late fall are from the city. There are far more hunters in the woods during deer season than there would be if they were all locals, 'cuz we don't have that many people living here! And those that do are too busy working and providing services to the gun-toting tourists, so there aren't too many days when they can go out and do some hunting themselves.
Being able to get out to hunting camp and try (you don't always succeed each year, you know) to get a buck or a bear is nice and all, but when crowds of people come up here with money in their pockets, then you had better get cracking and give them plenty of opportunities to part with it, because they won't be around here for long. You'll need to earn some money so that you can buy something for your kids for Christmas, and then you've got a long cold winter to get through after that. So you have to strike while the iron is hot.
Folks who live here supplement their pantries a great deal more with a fishing pole than they do with a gun.
Yeah, so while a heavily-armed police force required a "30-minute fire fight" to finally stop the shooter, your average desk jockey with a small revolver in his pocket would have gotten the guy instantly.
At least this way, when the police (or anyone else) &quot;accidentally&quot; shoot someone, that person <i>will</i> be armed, so it&#039;s ok.

Yes, clearly we need more people suffering from PTSD to be walking around packing heat at all times.
Oh, I thought you were referring to the NRA, so I was momentarily confused. Carry on.
Also, &quot;Dead Dead Dead&quot;*
*Not really an anagram.
Atoms For Peace.

Clinton was also a bad shot unless the target was a blue dress.
He has an alibi since he was on Mars at the time.
