    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.

            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.
