Remember, the Right to Bear Arms overwrites the rights of any people, including children, to live their lives in full.

Just ask any chickenshit congressman or sentator.

I'm looking forward to more "Guns don't kill people" arguments. Maybe, but they sure make it easier to kill lots of people all at once.

I'm hearing 27 including 14 children. If this doesn't change anything then I don't think anything will.

BBC is reporting 27 dead. Tragic, bewildering, horrible.

Nothing will change. There are too many guns in private hands, and too many cowards in Washington and state legislatures.

There was a similar attack in China recently.  The attacker didn't have a gun; he used a knife.  No one was killed.

Of course the lesson the gun-nuts always learn from these incidents is that we need more guns.

The only thing that will change is that there will be a spike in gun sales.

Kids.
