    Only in America. Where there’s guns, there’s accidental death.

    I say ban the guns so the vigilantes need to use cricket bats. Sell the surveillance tapes for PPV.

      School shootings are very intentional, not accidental.

      Banning guns isn’t going to make 500 million firearms disappear, it’ll just take them out of the hands of law-abiding citizens.

        “Nothing can be done to prevent this.”

              Of course something can be done to prevent it, but just blanket banning things is a horrible policy, and always has been. Or do you think the war on drugs was a smashing success? Drugs went away, and so did all the problems associated with them. Right? Right guys? Right?

                At this point I wish to congratulate drugs for winning the war on drugs.

                Given how this, the War on Christmas, the war on Poverty and the War on Terrorism went…

                If we start a war on the rich, that should make everyone in the world richer than God.
