Eighteen little children killed today in the worst school massacre in American history. Together with eight adults. A man with a handgun.

Will it change anything/ Will America's slavish obsession with guns be challenged by this slaughter of the innocents?

C'mon all you gun fans. Are you celebrating your freedom to bear arms tonight?
Tell us bewildered Brits about how its "people not guns that kill people."

But it won't change anything will it? The NRA lobby is too powerful.

All too sadly I have to agree.

In the meantime, different incident, same dialogue...

Just a selection of the three most high profile shootings in the U.S. in the last week:

Oh my god that is just sick!

[bimale69]

not to get political, but you can bet all the right-wing hatemongering assholes like fred phelps, pat robertson, ted nugent, glen beck, rush limburger, and the rest of their ilk will be spewing more of their ignorant BS about this being staged as an obama gun-control coup like the last couple of mass shootings.

I don't agree with your post Willie.
I saw the President's reaction to the gun murders of these 20 babies. The days of the NRA are numbered. Their hold on blocking gun control legislation has ended today.

Twenty three school kids were injured by an attacker in China today. The attacker carried a knife. NO ONE WAS KILLED!
PEOPLE KILL PEOPLE MOST EFFICIENTLY WITH GUNS.

Here's the challenge put out by Prospero in rather more provocative and dare I say it more confrontational terms.

It would be good to get some responses.

Almost without exception since 1996 all "school shooters" have been on prescription drugs. Ya know....the new faddish ones prescribed for ADD and such bullshit symptoms / nonsense. Well, gee, read the side effects of these drugs which PERMANENTLY alter your brain.

The drugs come before the guns. But no, we'd rather have some intellectually lazy knee jerk lib-tard reaction and spout off about guns.

Yea.....ban guns.

Oh yea, "spoons made me fat"

What a dearth of vacuous minds......................................
